FRANKE LEADS THE WAY WITH INSTALLER-FRIENDLY 4-IN-1 TAPS

Franke’s innovative lever-operated Omni 4-in-1 tap range delivers filtered boiling water at 100°C, filtered cold water and standard mains hot and cold, all from a simple-to-install single tap mixer.

The timeless swan-neck design of the Omni in hi-shine solid stainless steel marries impeccable looks and longlasting performance. Following the Omni’s instant popularity, Franke has extended its design choice with the Omni Classic. This provides all of the benefits of the 4-in-1 technology but with gentle curves and elegant white levers to cater for more traditional kitchen styles.

The Omni range has been designed for fast and easy installation, in as little as two hours. The boiler connections and the flexible hoses are colour coded and assembly is simply ‘plug and play’, in conjunction with existing plumbing.

The ‘no tool’ Nutrunna® technology on the hoses allows for hand-tightening so minimal plumbing or tools are required. A video showing how easy Omni’s are to install is available on Franke’s website www.Franke.co.uk/omni

The tap can be retrofitted into a standard 35mm tap hole, so is ideal for existing kitchens as well as new ones. It’s also fully reversible, with one lever for mains hot and cold, while the other lever dispenses the filtered boiling and filtered cold water. 

The easy-to-fit Omni 4-in-1 tap can be installed in less than two hours and delivers filtered 100°C boiling, filtered cold and mains hot and cold from a single, lever-operated tap.

The patented filter housing has two flow outlets built-in, cutting down complexity and plumbing time. Omni taps can be fitted with low pressure water systems producing better than average water flow and is suitable for most gravity fed supplies.

The compact four litre stainless steel tank and filter fit neatly into the under-sink cupboard and will dispense the equivalent of eight cups of hot water or two pan fulls with a fast replenishment time.

The 100°C boiling water function boasts triple safety features including a push and turn activation function, a springloaded shut off and an optional, unique child safety clip that prevents the tap from being accidentally turned on. Patented chassis engineering means that the tap is never too hot to touch, even when producing boiling water.

Premium filtration is assured with a separate tube to maintain the water’s integrity and an LED that tells you when a new filter cartridge needs fitting. The filter removes impurities but leaves in healthy minerals in the drinking water, while also reducing the build-up of limescale in the boiling water tank. Replacement cartridges are required every six to nine months and are as easy to change as a light bulb.

Omni has a retail price of £1,349 inc VAT, highly competitively priced in its market sector for the benefits on offer. It comes with the assurance of a three-year warranty and is supported by a dedicated after-sales team.
