Our Zip HydroTap Font Kit Range

Standard Font Kit (With Extension): The Standard Font Kit suits Classic Plus, Elite Plus, and Miniboil HydroTap models, providing a stable mounting platform that sits flush on your benchtop. The included extension allows flexible positioning away from the sink while maintaining clean, professional aesthetics. The compact design occupies minimal benchtop space whilst delivering secure tap mounting. Available in all seven premium finishes: Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Matte Black, Brushed Rose Gold, Brushed Gold, Gunmetal, and Brushed Nickel.

Raised Font Kit (With Extension): The Raised Font Kit offers elevated mounting suitable for Classic Plus, Elite, Wave, and Miniboil HydroTap models. The raised design provides enhanced visibility and easier access to the tap, particularly beneficial in commercial environments or where benchtop height considerations matter. The integrated extension facilitates installation away from sink locations whilst the elevated platform creates a distinct visual statement. Available in all seven premium finishes to coordinate seamlessly with your HydroTap.

Stand Alone Font Kit (No Extension): The Stand Alone Font Kit is specifically engineered for Arc and Cube HydroTap models, providing independent mounting without extension components. This streamlined design suits installations where the tap position is predetermined or where simpler mounting is preferred. The stand alone configuration maintains the sleek, minimalist aesthetic that Arc and Cube models are known for, whilst enabling flexible positioning away from sink areas. Available in all seven premium finishes.

Why Install Your HydroTap on a Font?

Installation Flexibility: Font kits eliminate the constraint of installing your HydroTap at the sink. Position your tap at the most convenient location—near coffee stations, tea preparation areas, central workspaces, or anywhere that suits your kitchen workflow. This flexibility is particularly valuable in offices, cafes, and commercial kitchens where optimal tap placement significantly improves efficiency.

No Additional Benchtop Drilling: Once your font is positioned, there's no need to drill holes in your benchtop at the tap location. The font sits on top of the benchtop surface, preserving expensive stone, timber, or laminate surfaces. This is especially valuable with granite, marble, or engineered stone benchtops where drilling is complex and costly.

Easy Relocation: If you renovate, reconfigure your kitchen layout, or relocate your business, font-mounted HydroTaps can be moved without leaving permanent holes in benchtops. This flexibility protects your investment and adapts to changing needs over time.

Professional Commercial Appearance: In commercial settings, font kits create a designated hydration station or beverage preparation area with professional presentation. The elevated positioning (particularly with Raised Font Kits) improves visibility and accessibility for staff and customers.

Matches Your Tap Finish: Every font kit is available in the same seven premium finishes as Zip HydroTap taps, ensuring perfect colour and finish coordination. This attention to detail maintains the cohesive aesthetic that premium kitchen installations demand.

Ideal for Retrofit Installations: Adding a HydroTap to an existing kitchen often means the ideal location isn't at the sink. Font kits solve this challenge, enabling optimal placement without compromising benchtop integrity or requiring extensive modifications.

Choosing the Right Font Kit

Match to Your HydroTap Model: Different HydroTap models require specific font kit types. Classic Plus, Elite Plus, and Miniboil models use Standard or Raised Font Kits. Wave models require Raised Font Kits. Arc and Cube models use Stand Alone Font Kits. Verify your HydroTap model before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Standard vs Raised Font Selection: For Classic Plus, Elite Plus, and Miniboil installations, choose Standard Font Kits when benchtop height is standard and tap positioning at surface level is adequate. Select Raised Font Kits when you want elevated tap positioning for easier access, enhanced visibility, or when the installation location benefits from a more prominent tap presentation.

Finish Coordination: Select the font kit finish that exactly matches your HydroTap tap finish. Chrome matches Chrome, Matte Black matches Matte Black, and so forth. This coordination maintains visual cohesion and professional appearance. All seven finishes—Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Matte Black, Brushed Rose Gold, Brushed Gold, Gunmetal, and Brushed Nickel—are available across all font kit types.

Installation Planning: Consider the command centre location (under-bench unit) when planning font placement. The font should be positioned within practical distance of the command centre, accounting for water supply lines and power connections. Professional installation by Zip-approved technicians ensures proper setup and maintains warranty validity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Zip HydroTap font kit?

A font kit is a benchtop mounting accessory that allows your Zip HydroTap to be installed away from the sink. The font sits on top of the benchtop and the tap mounts into the font, eliminating the need to drill holes at the tap location whilst providing installation flexibility.

Which font kit do I need for my HydroTap?

Classic Plus, Elite Plus, and Miniboil models use Standard Font Kits or Raised Font Kits (with extension). Wave models require Raised Font Kits. Arc and Cube models need Stand Alone Font Kits (no extension). Check your HydroTap model to ensure correct font kit selection.

Can I install a font kit myself?

While font kits are designed for straightforward installation, Zip recommends professional installation by Zip-approved technicians to ensure proper setup, optimal positioning, and warranty validity.

Do font kits require benchtop drilling?

The font itself sits on top of the benchtop without drilling at the tap location. However, water supply lines from the under-bench command centre to the font typically require routing through the benchtop or cabinetry.

What's the difference between Standard and Raised font kits?

Standard Font Kits provide flush benchtop-level mounting suitable for most applications. Raised Font Kits elevate the tap mounting position for enhanced accessibility and visibility.

Must the font finish match my tap finish?

Yes, for proper aesthetic coordination, always select the font kit finish that matches your HydroTap tap finish exactly.
