Activator Styles
Knee, foot or any combination. Choose the style that suits your application.
Knee Activators
Tapmaster knee activators are installed by mounting a small button behind the cabinet door or drawer face. Our uniquely designed button only needs to move 0.5mm (0.02 inches) to activate the water flow making it invisible when the door is closed. Most users find the knee activator by-far the easiest hands-free system to use for tasks like handwashing, brushing teeth etc. Many customers choose to add a knee activator to another activator such as a Euro or Kick Pedal.
Best Uses
Knee activators are best suited to residential washrooms, dental operatories and public washrooms where there is a cabinet under the sink.
Cabinet Styles Supported
Standard Cabinet with Toe Kick | Floating Vanities with Drawers or Cabinet Doors
Euro Style Foot Activators
If there was ever an elegant foot activator for a faucet, the Tapmaster Euro style would be it. Measuring just 30mm across the Euro style activators are intuitive to use and bare-foot friendly. The flexible probe can be cut to fit any toe-kick from 3″ to 6.5″ tall and is soft to the touch.
Continuous Flow Option
Euro activators can be locked into the “on” position to keep the water running while you step away to do another task. Fill your sink, run the water until it gets hot, whatever you like. With Tapmaster you don’t need to give up utility for hands-free operation.
Best Uses
Tapmaster recommends the Euro style activator in any residential application. The combination of discrete aesthetics, ease of use and locking functionality make it the ideal helper in the kitchen or washroom. Euro activators are also very popular in dental offices and medical clinics.
Cabinet Styles Supported
Standard Cabinet with Toe Kick | Floating Vanities with no more than 6.5″ of space below the bottom of the cabinet.
Kick Pedal Activators
The Kick Pedal is the most popular foot operated faucet activator in the Tapmaster lineup. Their combination of robust construction and intuitive operation is perfect for dental offices, clinics, commercial hand-washing stations etc. The stainless steel kick plate and aluminum extruded mounting plate are built with heavy use in mind.
Continuous Flow Option
Like our Euro style activators, kick pedal activators can be locked into the “on” position to keep the water running while you step away to do another task. Fill your sink, run the water until it gets hot, whatever you like. With Tapmaster you don’t need to give up utility for hands-free operation.
Best Uses
Tapmaster recommends the kick pedal activator for medical or dental offices. This activator requires a cabinet with a toe-kick underneath the sink. The large pedal makes it easy to use either seated in a work chair or standing. Kick pedals were designed to be used with shoes, however many people find them comfortable to use with bare feet as well.

Flush mounted, easy to clean and incredibly intuitive. Our in-floor activators were designed in conjunction with Mt. Sinai Hospital in Toronto to meet the needs of emergency rooms, surgical operatories and public washrooms.
