Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a bustling pizzeria in Inverness, Scotland, faced an urgent issue when the tap on their staff hand wash basin failed mid-service. With hygiene being paramount, they needed a fast and reliable replacement to avoid any disruption to their food handling procedures.
"Our old tap gave up the ghost at the worst possible time. We couldn't risk our hygiene rating. We ordered the proper Modena HW40 replacement tap and our plumber had it fitted the next morning. It was a perfect match, no hassle at all, and we were back to normal before the lunch rush."
David Chen – Head Chef
The quick replacement restored full hygiene compliance instantly, eliminating the operational bottleneck and allowing staff to follow hand washing protocols without delay.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always shut off the water supply to the sink before starting work.
- Ensure the mounting surface and holes on the basin are clean and dry.
- Hand-tighten the fixing nuts first to ensure the tap is straight, then finish with a wrench.
- Once installed, turn the water on slowly and check carefully for any leaks around the base and connections.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the tap daily with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent to prevent limescale build-up.
- Avoid using abrasive pads, wire wool, or harsh bleach-based cleaners which can scratch the stainless steel.
- Periodically check the base of the tap for any signs of slow drips or leaks.
- Check the aerator (the small mesh at the tip of the spout) and clean if water flow becomes uneven.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this tap compatible with any other brand of sink?
A: This is specifically designed as a Modena HW40 replacement tap. While it might fit other sinks with 4-inch centres, we can only guarantee a perfect fit with the Modena HW40 basin.
Q: What is included in the box?
A: The unit includes the 8-inch gooseneck mixer tap itself, along with the necessary fittings to mount it to the basin. Connecting water pipes are not typically included.
Q: Is this a mixer tap for hot and cold water?
A: Yes, it is a mixer tap designed to be connected to both a hot and cold water supply, delivering a blended temperature from the single spout.
Q: How difficult is it to install this commercial washroom sink tap?
A: For a qualified plumber or experienced maintenance person, installation is very straightforward as it uses standard fittings and sizes.
Q: What does '4-inch centres' mean?
A: This refers to the distance between the centre of the hot water inlet and the centre of the cold water inlet on the tap, which is a standard measurement for many commercial deck-mounted sinks.
Q: How do I clean the stainless steel without scratching it?
A: Use a soft cloth with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Always dry it afterwards to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.
Q: Can I use a standard domestic tap on my commercial sink?
A: We strongly advise against it. Domestic taps are not built to withstand the heavy, repeated use of a commercial environment and will likely fail much sooner.
Q: What is the benefit of the gooseneck spout?
A: The high arc provides greater clearance, making it easier to wash hands and wrists thoroughly without touching the basin, which is a key factor in good hygiene practice.

Explore more from ModenaWhy the Gooseneck Spout is a Hygiene Hero
Ever wondered why commercial taps have that high, curved 'gooseneck' shape? It’s not just for looks. Think of it like this: a standard, low tap forces you to wash your hands close to the basin surface, which can be a hotspot for germs. The high arc of an 8-inch gooseneck spout, like this one, creates a large, open space between the tap and the basin. This gives you plenty of room to lather and scrub your hands and wrists thoroughly without accidentally touching the sink bowl. It’s a simple design feature that makes achieving proper, hygienic hand washing technique much, much easier – a small detail with a big impact on safety.
Who Should Buy This?
