Commercial kitchen taps and tapware for Australian hospitality venues — pre-rinse spray units, mixer taps, pot fillers, swing nozzles and the spare parts to keep them running. This range covers everything from a single replacement nozzle to a full dish-area pre-rinse station, built for the duty cycles a commercial wash-up demands. Fitting out a wash station? Match your tapware to our commercial stainless steel sinks, or jump straight to the dedicated pre-rinse spray tap range.
Who commercial kitchen taps are for
Domestic taps fail fast under commercial use — hundreds of operations a day, hot water at sanitising temperatures, and staff who don't baby the fittings. Restaurants and pubs fit pre-rinse units at the dish station to blast plates before the dishwasher; cafes use commercial mixer taps at prep and wash sinks; commercial kitchens add pot and kettle fillers over the cook line so heavy stockpots fill in place instead of being carried from the sink.
What's in scope
Pre-rinse spray units
The tall spring-arm sprayers you see at every commercial dish station. High-pressure spray heads strip food waste off plates and trays before racking, cutting dishwasher load and rewash rates.
Commercial mixer taps and tap sets
Hob- and wall-mounted hot/cold sets and single-lever mixers built with commercial-grade bodies and serviceable parts. See the full commercial tap set range.
Pot and kettle fillers
Wall- or hob-mounted swing-arm fillers that reach over burners and kettles, so big vessels fill where they cook.
Nozzles, jets and spare parts
Swing nozzles, spray heads, hoses, risers and washers — the consumables that keep a busy wash area running without replacing the whole unit. For hands-free hygiene points, see hands-free taps.
How to choose a commercial kitchen tap in three steps
Picking the right commercial tapware comes down to three questions, in order.
Step 1 — Where does it mount?
Check whether your sink or bench is drilled for hob (deck) mounting or whether you're fixing to the wall, and count the tap holes available. Pre-rinse units typically hob-mount behind the bowl; wall-mount sets suit benches without tap holes.
Step 2 — Spray, mix or fill?
Match the tap type to the station's job: a pre-rinse unit for the dish area, a mixer or hot/cold set for prep and wash sinks, and a pot filler over the cook line. Add-on faucet models give you a pre-rinse arm plus a standard spout from one tap set.
Step 3 — Check height, reach and parts
Confirm the riser height clears your tallest pots, the nozzle or arm reach covers the bowls it serves, and spare heads, hoses and washers are available — on a commercial tap, serviceability is what determines its real lifespan.
Venue fit
A small cafe usually needs one solid mixer at the wash sink and a hand-basin tap; a restaurant or pub adds a pre-rinse unit at the dish station; high-volume and catering kitchens fit pot fillers and keep spare nozzles on hand. Browse by brand — 3Monkeez commercial tapware and Sunmixer both feature in this range.
Popular models: two proven starting points are the Sunmixer pre-rinse unit with 510mm riser for a dedicated dish-station sprayer, and the Sunmixer pre-rinse unit with add-on faucet and swing nozzle where one station has to spray and fill.
Frequently asked questions
What is a pre-rinse spray unit?
A pre-rinse spray unit is a tall, spring-loaded tap with a high-pressure spray head used at commercial dish stations to remove food waste from plates, pans and trays before they go into the dishwasher. Pre-rinsing cuts wash chemical use, blocked filters and rewash rates, which is why it's standard in busy Australian kitchens.
What's the difference between hob-mounted and wall-mounted commercial taps?
Hob-mounted (deck-mounted) taps fix through holes in the sink bench behind the bowl, while wall-mounted taps fix to the wall above the sink with exposed breech pieces. The right choice depends on whether your bench is drilled for tapware and where the water points sit — both styles are available across pre-rinse units, mixers and tap sets.
Do commercial kitchens need special tapware?
Yes — commercial tapware is built with heavier bodies, serviceable cartridges and spring arms rated for constant daily use, and plumbing fittings sold for Australian commercial kitchens should carry WaterMark certification. Domestic taps wear out quickly under commercial loads and usually aren't specified for food-business fit-outs.
What is a pot filler tap?
A pot filler is a swing-arm tap mounted on the wall or hob near the cook line, with enough reach to fill stockpots, kettles and bratt pans where they sit. It saves staff carrying heavy vessels of water across the kitchen — a genuine manual-handling win in high-volume venues.
Can I buy replacement nozzles and spray heads separately?
Yes. Swing nozzles, spray heads, hoses, risers and service kits are available individually in this range, so a worn part doesn't mean replacing the whole tap. Check the spare-part listings against your tap model before ordering.
Do you deliver commercial tapware across Australia?
Yes. Commercial Kitchen Store ships nationwide, and Australian-based phone support is available on 1300 111 901 if you need help matching tapware to your sinks. For cover details, see our warranty and service information.
