Bench Mounted Gas Taps

Bench mounted laboratory gas outlets: single taps, standout and suspended taps, multi-tap distributions in 90, 180, T and Y arrangements, and push and turn safety taps. Plus bench mounted laboratory regulators for point of use pressure control.

Count the outlets each position needs, one, two or four, then pick the arrangement by how people work around the bench: opposed at 180 degrees for an island, 90 degrees for a corner, T or Y along a run. Push and turn where a knock could open a tap, the suspended drop tap where the bench must stay clear, and a bench mounted regulator where the pressure is set at the workstation, with the fine adjustment outlet for instruments.

Common questions

What is a push and turn tap?
A push and turn tap will not open by turning alone. The handle has to be pushed in before it will rotate, so a knock, a sleeve or a bag catching the handle cannot open the gas. It is the usual specification for teaching laboratories and for any bench where people work close to the outlets.
What connections do the bench taps use?
G 3/8 or 1/4 inch NPT inlet and outlet across the range, with a G 1/4 inlet on one version, and threads to ISO 228-1. Where the outlet takes a hose it is a fixed olive shaped nozzle to DIN 12898. The connection for each unit is stated on its own product page.
What is a suspended drop tap?
A drop tap is fed from above, from a service boom or a ceiling run, and hangs over the bench instead of standing on it. It keeps the bench surface clear for work and cleaning and keeps pipework off the top. There is a two way version in this range with U distribution, which serves two positions from one drop.
