Buying Boiling Water Taps for Trade?
UK Brassware is our new site, meant specifically to serve trades people, with benefits including 50% trade discount and free 48 hour delivery.
If you work in the trade, you will already know that boiling water taps are no longer a niche upgrade. They are now a regular request across standard kitchen refits, premium homes and multi-property developments. Customers expect instant boiling water as part of a modern kitchen specification, and installers are increasingly expected to supply and fit them as standard.
The challenge for many trade buyers is not the product itself, but where it is sourced. Buying taps at retail prices might feel convenient, but over time it eats into margins that are already under pressure from rising material costs and competitive quoting. When labour is fixed, the only real lever left is how efficiently and cost-effectively you source your products.
This is exactly where UK Brassware comes in. It exists to serve the trade specifically, offering access to the same design-led boiling water taps, but with trade pricing, dependable stock and delivery options that work around real installation schedules.
If you already use HotWaterTaps.com for research, product familiarity or inspiration, this guide explains how sourcing through UK Brassware can give you better commercial outcomes without changing the quality of what you install.
Why Trade Buyers Should Avoid Paying Retail Prices
For installers, plumbers and developers, margin protection is not about cutting corners. It is about making smarter purchasing decisions that allow you to quote competitively while still being paid properly for your work.
Retail pricing rarely reflects the realities of trade buying. There are no meaningful volume incentives, pricing can fluctuate unpredictably, and repeat purchasing is rarely rewarded. Over time, this adds up.
UK Brassware is designed to remove those issues by offering a trade-focused supply model built around consistency, scale and reliability.
Trade customers benefit from:
- At least 50 percent trade discount, with improved rates as spend increases
- Free 48 hour delivery to site or directly to your client
- Access to boiling water taps, kitchen taps and bathroom taps from one supplier
- Stable pricing that allows confident quoting
- Some of the most competitive trade pricing currently available in the UK
For trades already fitting boiling water taps regularly, this is not a change in product. It is simply a smarter way to buy them.
The Same Product Standards, Built With Installers in Mind
Every boiling water tap supplied through UK Brassware is designed to meet the practical expectations of trade professionals. That means solid materials, predictable performance, sensible dimensions and straightforward installation.
Rather than overwhelming you with specifications, it is more useful to look at where each type of tap fits best on site.

Design-Led 3-in-1 Taps for Premium Kitchens
Athena 3-in-1 Boiling Water Tap
When clients want a more refined finish, the Athena 3-in-1 offers a noticeable step up without complicating the install. Its swan neck or D-Shape design provides generous clearance, while the digital tank introduces a level of control that appeals to homeowners without burdening installers.
The tank features a clear touchscreen interface, allowing temperature adjustment from 75 to 98 degrees and displaying filter status at a glance. It also takes up significantly less cupboard space than many comparable systems, which is particularly useful in modern kitchens where storage is at a premium.
Key specifications include:
- Durable brass construction with long-life coating
- Digital tank with adjustable temperature
- Compact 2.4 litre boiling water capacity

Flexible and Pull-Out Taps for Busy Kitchens
Astra 380PO Series and Artisan Flex Pro 390FP Series
In kitchens where flexibility matters, pull-out and flexible spout designs offer clear advantages. These taps are well suited to islands, family kitchens and clients who cook frequently and expect one tap to handle multiple tasks.
Both the Astra 380PO and Artisan Flex Pro 390FP ranges combine standard hot and cold water with filtered boiling water, while maintaining separate boiling outlets and child-safe controls. The flexible or pull-out spouts provide extended reach, making everyday use easier without sacrificing safety.
Key specifications include:
- Pull-out or flexible swan neck spouts
- Separate boiling water outlet
- Child-safe spring-loaded boiling controls
- Solid brass construction
- Compact under-sink boiling water tanks
For installers, these models reduce compromise and help meet a wider range of client expectations with a single product.
Contemporary Statement Designs
Artesano 3-in-1 D Shape
The Artesano range is aimed at modern kitchens where clean lines and understated design are a priority. Its D-shaped spout and smooth lever control give it a contemporary look, while the internal components focus on safety and reliability.
The boiling water function is activated via a push button with a spring-loaded safety mechanism, and the spout remains cool to the touch during use. As with the rest of the range, the boiler unit is compact and designed to fit neatly under the sink.
Key specifications include:
- Solid brass construction
- Cool-touch spout and child-safe boiling control
- 180 degree swivel range
- Operating pressure from 0.5 to 5.0 bar
- Five year guarantee
This is a good option for installers working on modern refurbishments where aesthetics matter as much as performance.
High-End 4-in-1 Boiling Water Tap Systems for Premium Projects
Quantum Chilled and Platinum 470PO Series
For high-end homes and specification-led projects, 4-in-1 taps provide maximum functionality from a single tap. These models deliver hot, cold, filtered boiling water and chilled filtered water, removing the need for additional appliances.
The Quantum Chilled and Platinum 470PO ranges are designed with energy efficiency in mind, with typical running costs in the region of 10 to 15 pence per day. Despite the added functionality, the systems remain compact and are suitable for installation in standard kitchen cabinetry.
Key specifications include:
- Boiling water up to 98 degrees and chilled water down to around 4 degrees
- Insulated spouts for safety
- Compact tank and chiller units
- Solid brass construction
- Five year tap guarantee and two year tank guarantee
From a trade perspective, these systems allow for higher-value installs and clear differentiation on premium jobs.
