How to choose the right timed tap

Start by matching the tap format to the fixture: a timed shower tap controls an overhead or hand shower, a timed bib tap suits a wall-mounted outlet such as a laundry trough or outdoor point, and a timed pillar tap is designed for a vertical basin installation. Consider the run time of each model against how it will be used; shorter run times suit basin hand-washing, while a slightly longer duration works better for showers.

Timed taps are widely specified in commercial and public facilities such as schools, gyms and washrooms, where reducing water left running is a priority, but they also suit busy household laundries and outdoor taps. Confirm your existing plumbing rough-in and connection thread match the model you choose, and check with your plumber whether the shut-off duration can be adjusted for your specific use case.

Frequently asked questions

How does a timed tap work?
A timed tap is pressed or turned to start water flow, then automatically shuts off after a set number of seconds, without needing to be manually turned off again. Lamex stocks timed taps with run times from around 7 to 15 seconds depending on the model.
Where are timed taps commonly used?
Timed taps are common in commercial washrooms, public showers, schools, gyms and other high-traffic facilities where water needs to be conserved and taps left running is a concern, though they are also used in some domestic laundries and outdoor areas.
Can the shut-off time on a timed tap be adjusted?
Some timed taps have a factory-set run time while others allow a plumber to adjust the shut-off duration during installation or servicing. Check the specific product listing for the model's run time and whether it is adjustable.
Do timed taps save water compared to standard taps?
Yes, timed taps are generally chosen to reduce water waste from taps being left running, since flow stops automatically after a set period rather than relying on someone to turn the tap off.
