92 NEW ZIP TAPS MEAN YOU CAN NOW COMBINE STYLE WITH GREAT TASTING WATER Now, it’s not just Zip’s water that’s irresistible – the taps are too. Following the success of the HydroTap G4, which was launched last year, Zip has released three striking new tap designs. The elegant Arc, contemporary Cube and minimalist Elite have been developed in response to increased demand for a wider selection of residential taps. The Arc features an elegant, curved ‘swan neck’ design, making it perfect for both classic and modern surroundings. The Cube’s cutting-edge appearance ensures it is a design statement in its own right, and while the Elite is compact and sophisticated. All three styles are available in a range of finishes and are designed to complement any kitchen, while still offering filtered boiling, chilled and sparkling water, instantly. The Zip HydroTap Arc and Cube are available from £1299 including VAT.

With its pull out load of 15kg, the PC-VMX also has exceptional high shear strength due to low clip movement within the clip set. This will give architects reassurance that a heavy wall panel can be securely and invisibly fastened and precisely placed without the risk of sagging over time. The very high shear load capacity also makes it perfect for decorative wall panels for highscale installations. The PC-VMX clip can be purchased from any one of Fastmount’s global network of distributors.
