British boiling water tap brand Qettle caused a TikTok sensation when an ingenious installer decided to connect his Qettle tap at home to a beer keg. The video, which went viral with over 1m views, was a particular hit with installers, and with InstallerSHOW in its sights, Qettle invited Zac Squires of Squires Plumbing Services in Norwich to recreate the beer tap on their stand at the exhibition.
Qettle director Alexandra Rowe said: "We loved Zac’s reworking of his Qettle, and thought a Qettle Beer Hour, twice a day on our stand at InstallerSHOW would go down a treat with visitors in need of refreshment. And aside from the pull of a free half-pint, it’s also a brilliant way for visitors to understand how unique and innovative Qettle’s patented design is."
Qettle taps use a fully patented design that features 4 separate waterways inside the body of the tap. These deliver true, 100°C boiling water, filtered drinking water, normal hot water and normal cold water. And, unlike other instant hot water or boiling water taps, a Qettle tap is purely mechanical – that is, there is no dependency upon electronic components such as solenoids to activate the switching of different flows.
Pictured are Qettle's engineering apprentice Ed and design director Duncan Yardley, with the specially engineered tap that will be dispensing beer at InstallerSHOW 2024. You will be able to find Qettle in Hall 4 on Stand 4B21. Qettle Beer Hour will run twice at day at the show from 11.30am - 12.30pm and 3.30pm - 4.30pm.
