Hyco LIFE3L 3L Polished Chrome Zen Life Boiling Tap

The Hyco LIFE3L Zen Life is a 3-in-1 boiling-water tap with a conventional hot and cold kitchen mixer in one polished chrome body. It draws boiling water from a 3 litre under-sink tank and takes mixer hot and cold from the existing mains supplies, so a separate kettle is not needed for drinks and food preparation.

It suits new kitchens and retrofits in domestic or commercial settings, including offices. The tap fits a standard 32 mm sink hole and worktops up to 50 mm thick, and it must be mounted over a sink.

The boiling tank is grade 316L stainless steel with an Incoloy element and aerogel insulation, in a high-impact PC/ABS casing. Hyco designs and assembles the Zen Life in the UK. Factory temperature is 100°C, with 98°C selectable on the tank.
