Installation: FAQs


Can multifunctional taps be installed?

If the installation of a multifunction tap is notifiable, under regulation 5 of the water fittings regulations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, byelaws in Scotland, installation advice should be provided as part of the notification process. 

If the installation is not notifiable there remains a legal obligation for the premises owner or occupier to ensure the plumbing work is fully compliant with the water fittings regulations, byelaws in Scotland. To assist installers water undertakers and Water Regs UK publish installation guidance on a range of topics including multifunction taps.

If there are any further questions, please contact the local water undertaker for advice.
