Leak-free

Fixtures

The plumbing fixtures supplied and installed in Burj Khalifa are meant to withstand a surge of low and high pressure owing to the design of the demand-based centralized water distribution system.

The standard operating pressure plumbing fixtures available in the market are not designed to withstand such pressure surges and are more likely to fail. The root cause of many water leak incidents in Burj Khalifa was found to be the use of normal plumbing fixtures.

The operating water pressure in Burj Khalifa is between 4.5 bar and 7 bar; hence it is recommended to use only the fixtures that have a pressure rating in this range. We encourage our valued residents to understand the critical nature of the issue and seek your necessary cooperation in ensuring the safety of the community.

Below are a few examples of non-standard fixtures installed.
