Product Feature: HOT 2.6 Premium

Since 1924, STIEBEL ELTRON has been a leader in domestic hot water heating. With the launch of its new instant hot water tap in Ireland, the company expands its range of sustainable, energy-saving appliances.

Ideal for homes, offices, and public spaces like doctor’s surgeries and dental practices, the HOT 2.6 N Premium 3in1 Set provides a fast and convenient way to access near-boiling water instantly, maintaining a temperature of up to 95°C. This makes it perfect for preparing hot drinks and food without the wait time of a kettle.

The system consists of a space-saving automatic boiler, installed under the sink, and a 3in1 kitchen tap with a mixing lever for cold and hot water, plus a special lever for near-boiling water.

Both the tap and heater are easy to retrofit, with no specialist qualifications required. The heater plugs in and connects to hot and cold water feeds, much like a washing machine, while the tap simply replaces the existing outlet.

Unlike many competitor models, the HOT 2.6 N requires no additional parts like expansion vessels, leaving space for under-sink storage. Its vented design makes it more affordable compared to pressurised units, which often need extra safety equipment.

Safety is prioritised with the ‘push’ and ‘turn’ mechanism for drawing hot water, and high-grade thermal insulation ensures minimal energy loss.

Mark McManus, Managing Director, highlights the unit’s benefits: “With contemporary kitchen trends favouring simplicity, this tap eliminates the clutter of kettles on worktops. It’s not only ideal for hot drinks, but also for filling hot water bottles, sterilising baby equipment, cooking instant noodles, blanching veg and a whole host of other tasks.”

“With our product saving so much space and costing just a third of some competitor models, we believe it is going to be a sure-fire winner with customers and the trade alike. Delivering water at 95°C rather than 100°C avoids the steam bursts or ‘kettling,’ making it safer and more pleasant to use – as well as being just the right temperature for an immediate brew!”
