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 hand-washing, brushing teeth etc. Many customers choose to add a knee activator to another activator such as a Euro or Kick Pedal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best uses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Knee activators are best suited to residential washrooms, dental operatories and public washrooms where there is a cabinet under the sink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tapmaster.ca\/us\/knee-activators\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px\">Learn More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"euro-activators\">Euro-style foot activators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there was ever an elegant foot activator for a faucet, the Tapmaster\u00ae 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&#8243; to 6.5&#8243; tall and is soft to the touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Continuous Flow Option<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Euro activators can be locked into the <strong>&#8220;on&#8221;<\/strong> 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\u00ae you don&#8217;t need to give up utility for hands-free operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Uses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tapmaster\u00ae 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size has-text-align-right has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tapmaster.ca\/us\/euro-foot-activators\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px\">Learn More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 624 \/ 1080;\" width=\"624\" controls src=\"https:\/\/tapmaster.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/KitcheneuroUseVerticalLow264.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/tapmaster.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/KickPedal_vertical.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tapmaster.ca\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/KickPedal_vertical.webp 350w, https:\/\/www.tapmaster.ca\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/KickPedal_vertical-175x300.webp 175w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toe-kick-activators\">Toe-kick foot activators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Toe Kick Pedal is the most popular foot operated faucet activator in the Tapmaster\u00ae lineup.
