We present the '700' taps and mixers. The aim of this series is to offer products for public bathrooms that require a flexible, reliable and water-efficient BUILT-IN solution. In fact, wall-mounted taps are increasingly in demand as they provide a cleaner, uncluttered appearance, and this series offers designers a discreet aesthetic that can be easily integrated into designs for large and small public spaces.
Theunique aspect of this series is the modularity of the products, which simplifies installation and gives room for creativity. All taps in the 700 line come with a flush-mounted box, which is installed on the wall, onto which any tap in the series can be mounted. This translates into two important advantages: the taps can be mounted later than the installation of the box, and they can also be interchangeably replaced by any other item in the 700 series, without further masonry work and creating any desired combination. The flush-mounted box can be installed on any type of wall: masonry, plasterboard, panels.
To this, it should be added that installing thetap in the wall further reduces the likelihood of people coming into contact with the surface of the tap. In the post-COVID-19 era, we are all more aware that touch-free toilets are significantly more hygienic.
The 700 Series products
The line will be complete with taps and mixers for washbasins and showers, as well as flushers for toilets and urinals, equipped with all possible operating and operating technologies(electronic, timed, thermostatic and lever system), so as to offer designers a solution that can create a compact and clean style and at the same time be adaptable to the needs of the project. The first to be introduced to the market are the electronic wall-mounted basin taps, which will be available in the coming months:

The flush-mounted box: the secret to easy installation and modularity
The distinctive feature of this series is theinterchangeability of the devices, through the coupling between the box and the technical operating parts designed in such a way that the two parts can be installed at different times or that there is always the possibility of changing the type of device inside the box even after it has been recessed into the wall provided that the new device respects the water connections of the previous one.
The flush-mounting box is made of fibreglass-reinforced nylon and designed to withstand unfavourable environments over the years:
| OPERATING CONDITIONS | |
| Maximum temperature | 85° |
| Minimum temperature | 15° |
| Temperature fluctuations | 10°-85° |
| Maximum pressure peaks | 25 bar x 60 sec. |
| Maximum operating pressure | 10 bar |
| Minimum pressure | 0.5 bar |
| Life time | 20 years |
The box guarantees watertight insulation of the wall in which the tap is embedded; any trace of water (leakage, moisture) is expelled outside the wall via a specially designed drainage channel.
The external cover plate can be made of chrome-plated Zamak according to UNI EN 248 anti-corrosion standards or of AISI304, both fixed with vandal-proof screws. The plates thus developed ensure that the product is protected against vandalism and corrosion phenomena (aggressive detergents, humidity).
Installation advice:
- The box must be placed on the wall in the useable position.
- Using the 6 (G) ¾" gas fittings, the hydraulic connections are made.
- The box is completely covered with cement material (C).
- The cover is cut to size so that the cover plate (D) is flush with the tiles.
With this product, Idral has found the solution to make what was previously not versatile and offers a new technologically advanced tap for the bathroom environment. With its multiple alternatives, the 700 series born this year represents the company's innovative philosophy.
