Explore our range of hot water taps supplied as tap-only replacements, ideal for customers looking to upgrade or replace the visible tap without changing the under-sink boiler, tank, or fittings.

Whether you are updating a worn tap, refreshing your kitchen style, or replacing a damaged unit, our hot tap-only collection allows you to retain your existing hot water system while upgrading the most visible part of your installation.

What Is a Hot Water Tap Only?

A hot water tap (tap only) is the visible tap component used in instant boiling water systems. It controls the dispensing of near-boiling filtered water but does not include the under-sink boiler, filtration system, or installation kit.

This option is ideal if you already have a compatible system installed and only need to replace or upgrade the tap itself.

Why Choose a Tap-Only Replacement?

Replacing just the tap is a cost-effective and practical solution for many homeowners.

Key benefits include:

• Replace worn or damaged taps without changing the system
• Refresh the look of your kitchen instantly
• Retain existing boiler and filtration unit
• Faster and simpler upgrade option
• Compatible replacement for many leading systems (check specifications)

This makes tap-only replacements one of the most efficient ways to extend the life of your existing hot water system.

How Does a Hot Tap-Only Work?

A hot tap-only connects directly to your existing under-sink boiling water tank. When the safety control is activated, the tap dispenses filtered near-boiling water stored in the boiler.

Because the heating system is separate, the tap itself does not heat water—it simply controls flow from the existing tank.

When Should You Replace Just the Tap?

A tap-only replacement is ideal if:

• The tap body or finish is worn or damaged
• You want to update your kitchen style
• Your existing boiler system is still working efficiently
• You are upgrading to a new design or finish
• You want to match new kitchen fittings or appliances
