Water Tap for Furniture, 2 Way, Euro, for Pharma & Lab

Quick Answer: The Water Tap for Furniture, 2 Way, Euro is a Euro-pattern laboratory water fitting with two outlets from one mounting, made to be fixed on lab furniture such as a bench top, reagent shelf or service spine, so that two users or two connections can draw water from a single fitting.

Two Outlets, One Mounting

On a shared or island bench, water is needed on both sides, or by two people standing side by side. The 2 way Euro water tap answers this with a single body carrying two outlets, which saves drilling and plumbing a second tap. In many designs each outlet has its own valve handle, so one side can run while the other stays shut, and laboratory outlets of this kind often end in serrated nozzles that accept rubber tubing, so a condenser or water pump can be connected directly.

Euro in the title refers to the European style of laboratory fittings: a compact, modern body with handles that often carry a colour-coded service indicator. The style is common on modular lab furniture, where fittings are mounted on a service spine or pedestal rather than on a sink rim. The furniture version is a compact fitting with short outlets rather than a tall swan neck; where tall vessels must be filled over a sink, a single swan neck tap is more practical.

The mounting thread, the direction the outlets face and the valve type are not stated in the listing and should be checked against the bench design. The Euro 2 way gas tap applies the same two-outlet idea to bench gas.

Specifications

Applications

• Island and peninsula benches where two students share one service point.
• Supplying cooling water to two condensers during parallel distillations.
• Running a water aspirator on one side while the other outlet fills wash bottles.
• Service spines on modular pharma QC benches.

Care & Handling

• Close each valve gently; overtightening wears the valve seat.
• Remove and descale the nozzles in hard-water areas.
• Take rubber tubing off the nozzles when not in use, since tubing left on stiffens and cracks.
• Wipe chemical splashes off the body and handles promptly.

Why Choose LabEquip

Laboratory furniture manufacturers and colleges fitting out shared benches order 2 way Euro taps to cut the number of plumbing points. LabEquip lists this tap in General Lab Products; send the bench drawing or mounting details through the contact page so the fitting can be matched.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 2 way mean on a lab water tap?

It means the tap has two outlets from one body. Two people, or two pieces of apparatus, can take water from the same fitting, usually with a separate valve for each outlet.

Can both outlets be used at the same time?

Yes, when each outlet has its own valve, both can run together. The flow at each will be lower than from one outlet alone, since they share the same supply pipe.

What is a Euro design tap?

It is a European-style laboratory fitting with a compact body and handles that typically carry a colour-coded indicator for the service. The style is widely used on modern modular lab furniture.

Can tubing be connected to the outlets?

Laboratory outlets are commonly made as serrated nozzles for this purpose. Push rubber or silicone tubing fully over the serrations and secure it with a clip if the line will run for long periods.

Is this tap suitable for a sink?

It is designed for mounting on lab furniture. Where the main job is filling tall vessels over a sink, a swan neck tap gives more clearance under the outlet.

Does the tap supply hot water?

As a plain 2 way water fitting it delivers whatever single supply it is connected to, normally cold water. For mixed hot and cold water, a mixer fitting such as the 3 way hot and cold tap is needed.
