Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit

The Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit is a premium accessory designed for compatible Zip HydroTap systems where the tap needs to be installed away from the main sink or where a dedicated drip tray and drainage point is required.

It gives the HydroTap a cleaner, more finished installation by collecting drips and directing waste water to drainage. This makes it a practical choice for kitchens, butler’s pantries, office tea points, commercial fit-outs, island benches and installations where the HydroTap is positioned away from a sink bowl.

JR Gas & Water supplies and installs Zip HydroTap systems and compatible accessories across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Redlands, Scenic Rim, Moreton Bay and surrounding South East Queensland areas.

The Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit is designed to give compatible HydroTap installations a cleaner, more practical and more professional finish.

Key benefits include:

• raised font and drip tray assembly

• 135mm tap extension

• helps manage drips and overflow

• practical for island benches and butler’s pantries

• suitable for residential and commercial use

Best For: Who the Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit Suits

The Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit is well suited to:

• kitchen island installations

• butler’s pantries

• office tea points

• commercial kitchens

• boardrooms and staff kitchens

• premium home renovations

• new home builds

• installations away from the main sink

• benchtops where a dedicated drip tray is preferred

• HydroTap systems installed for entertaining areas

• homeowners wanting a cleaner HydroTap finish

• businesses wanting a neater filtered water station

It is especially useful when the HydroTap is not being installed directly beside a sink bowl.

What the Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit Is Best Known For

The Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit is best known for providing a dedicated raised drip tray and tap mounting solution for compatible HydroTap systems.

That matters because many HydroTap installations need more than just the tap and command centre. The final setup may also need:

• a clean dispensing area

• drip management

• bench protection

• drainage planning

• correct tap positioning

• safe access around the tap

• a finished look that suits the kitchen design

This is where the raised font kit is useful. It helps turn the HydroTap into a more complete, purpose-built water station.

Designed for Compatible Zip HydroTap Models

The Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit is designed to suit selected HydroTap tap styles, including Classic, Classic Plus, Touch-Free Wave, Miniboil Classic and Elite Plus models.

It should not be treated as a universal accessory for every Zip tap style. Compatibility needs to be checked against the exact HydroTap model, tap style and finish being supplied.

For Arc, Cube or other designer HydroTap tap styles, a different font or drip tray option may be required.

Raised Font with 135mm Extension

The raised font kit includes a 135mm extension, helping the HydroTap sit correctly above the font and drip tray assembly.

This is useful where the tap needs to be positioned neatly over the drainage area rather than directly over a sink. It helps improve the finished appearance and makes the dispensing area easier to use.

The raised design also helps create a more obvious dedicated water station, which is useful in kitchens, offices and commercial spaces where multiple people may be using the HydroTap throughout the day.

Drip Tray and Drainage Planning

A raised font kit is not just a cosmetic accessory. It needs proper drainage planning.

The drip tray needs to be positioned correctly, connected to a suitable drainage point and installed so water can drain away properly. Poor drainage, kinks, sags or incorrect pipe falls can lead to slow drain-away issues or water sitting in the tray.

This is why the raised font kit should be planned as part of the full HydroTap installation, not added as an afterthought.

Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit Specifications

Specs, finishes and compatibility can vary depending on the exact HydroTap model and current Zip accessory range.

Zip Raised Font Kit vs Sink-Mounted HydroTap Installation

A standard HydroTap installation may place the tap near the sink, allowing drips to fall into the sink bowl. This can be a simple and practical option where the tap location suits the kitchen layout.

The Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit is the better fit when:

• the tap is installed away from the sink

• the HydroTap is going on an island bench

• a separate water station is preferred

• the installation needs a dedicated drip tray

• the kitchen design needs a cleaner finished look

• the system is being installed in an office or commercial setting

• the tap location needs dedicated drainage

A sink-mounted installation can work well for simple layouts. A raised font kit is better when the HydroTap needs its own dedicated dispensing area.

Zip Raised Font Kit vs Integrated Font

A raised font kit gives the HydroTap a more visible raised drip tray assembly. This can work well where the tap is being positioned as a feature or where the installation needs a clear dispensing zone.

An integrated font may suit designs where a lower-profile or more built-in appearance is preferred, depending on the HydroTap model and bench layout.

The best option depends on:

• tap style

• bench material

• sink position

• drainage access

• cabinet space

• design preference

• whether the HydroTap is for home or commercial use

For many installations away from the sink, the raised font kit is the more practical and obvious choice.

Installation Requirements

The Zip HydroTap Raised Font Kit needs to be installed with the correct bench cut-outs, mounting hardware, tap position and drainage connection.

Installation planning may include:

• checking HydroTap model compatibility

• confirming the tap style and finish

• marking the tap and font positions

• drilling the required bench holes

• allowing for drainage connection

• checking under-bench access

• ensuring correct pipe fall

• avoiding kinks or sags in the drain line

• testing for leaks

• confirming the finished tap position

Stone benchtops, island benches and commercial counters may require additional planning or specialist cutting before installation.
