Zip Water Hydrotap - WRAS Approved Taps

Zip Water HydroTap WRAS Approved Taps

A HydroTap stays connected to the mains permanently, never through a jug or a kettle in between, which is precisely the situation WRAS approval was built to police. Every model on this page has it: materials and design independently checked against the water regulations that cover anything plumbed straight into the supply.

What the approval covers, and where to read more

WRAS approved taps is the fuller explanation, covering what gets tested, how that differs from a maker simply stating its own compliance, and when the whole question should sway a purchase. It applies to Zip's range and to every other approved tap the store carries, so it's the better starting point for weighing whether approval matters to your installation.

Who tends to need it

Specification-led buyers reach for this collection most, so a commercial fit-out or office refit is worth pairing with a look at the workplace range, where a written spec is more likely to demand approval outright. A house swap on plumbing that's already there rarely carries the same weight. Every HydroTap here still belongs to the wider Zip Water platform behind boiling, chilled and sparkling, and because approval sits with the individual model rather than the brand, it's worth confirming the exact one you've chosen carries it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does WRAS approval actually certify on a Zip HydroTap?

A specialist has checked what the tap's built from and how it's put together, and confirmed both meet the water regulations for anything permanently plumbed into the mains, rather than filled from a jug or a kettle. That scrutiny matters more here than on an ordinary mixer, since a HydroTap never stops drawing from the supply.

Do all Zip HydroTap models carry WRAS approval?

No, approval is awarded to individual products rather than the whole HydroTap catalogue, so this collection lists only the models that currently hold it. If a specification names approval as a fixed requirement, check the exact model reference against the official WRAS directory rather than assuming the whole range qualifies.

Does a home installation need WRAS approval the same way a workplace one does?

Rarely to the same degree. An ordinary house swap on plumbing that's already there seldom has a specification demanding it, while a commercial project, a new build, or an installer working to a written brief usually does. Whoever's signing off the work is the person to ask if you're unsure either way.

What happens if a HydroTap without WRAS approval is fitted where it's required?

It can hold the whole job up. Building control might refuse to sign it off, a landlord could reject the installation outright, or a specification simply won't accept the paperwork, because the rule is there to stop unlisted fittings reaching water everyone else relies on too. Checking the model against the WRAS directory first is far easier than unpicking an installation afterwards.
