Hand Wash Units

A hand wash unit is a small electric hot water heater that sits above the sink and dispenses water straight from the unit, so you don't need a separate tap setup. It's ideal where you don't have a mains hot supply or you're short on space, such as a cloakroom, utility room, kitchen prep area or a commercial wash point. The units shown are simple to use and suitable for both domestic and commercial use. If you want quick hot water without major plumbing work, a hand wash unit is a practical solution.

Infrared models use a sensor so water runs without touching the unit, which is more hygienic and suits busy or public washrooms; standard models use a manual control and are cheaper. the Triton T30iR infrared sits above the standard T30i in price, while Redring's infrared model is notably higher than its manual RMHW3. If hygiene and hands-free use matter, go infrared; if you want a cost-effective option for a low-traffic bathroom, a manual model is perfectly suitable.

The included in our range units are 3kW, which means they heat water quickly and are sized for short flows like hand washing rather than bathing. In practice you'll get near-instant hot water at a small basin, making them efficient for quick uses in cloakrooms or staff wash areas. A 3kW unit gives a good balance between fast heat-up and compact size for over-sink installation.

Yes, over-sink hand wash units are specifically designed for compact spaces and dispense directly from the body of the unit, so they need less counter and tap room than a conventional mixer. They're a good pick for narrow cloakrooms or utility rooms where a conventional hot-water pipe run would be impractical. Check the unit's width against your basin to ensure the spout lines up with the bowl.

Both Triton and Redring are established plumbing brands offering 3kW over-sink units in manual and infrared variants. Price examples on the range show Triton's manual T30i at a lower price point and its infrared T30iR at the current product price, while Redring's manual is roughly the current product price and its infrared at a lower price point. Use brand choice to match your priorities: Triton gives strong value for money, whereas Redring's higher-priced infrared model may suit you if you want a premium touchless option.
