Taps in Health Care

It has been brought to our attention that taps installed in a medical centre recently has been refused sign-off due to the type of tap installed (not one of our projects I may add).

The tap installed was a Twyfords SF1015CP which appears to be specified for all projects. This is the wall mounted type that projects out of the IPS panel. The problem is the mixer valve being installed within the body of the tap, hence there is a section of exposed pipework that has a high surface temperature.

I have spoken to Twyfords who have confirmed they are aware of this and an alternative tap is due for dispatch early January 2009. It will appear the same tap, just a tweek on the internal set up.
