Liva Gaz Pre-Rinse Spray and Milk Pitcher Shower Systems

At a professional pre-rinse station, strong water flow alone is not enough. The spray head's reach, countertop or wall mounting, hot-cold water mixing, an auxiliary tap, and a sink sized to control splash should all be evaluated together. Liva Gaz pre-rinse spray units and milk pitcher shower systems are aimed at quickly rinsing glasses and deep vessels before the main wash.

Liva Gaz's verified product lineup on Mutfak10 includes countertop- or wall-mounted professional pre-rinse sprays as well as in-sink glass, coffee pot, and milk pitcher shower units. These products are not electric washing machines; they are pre-rinse systems that operate on mains water pressure.

How Does a Professional Pre-Rinse Spray Unit Work?

When the trigger or lever on the spray head is opened, water reaches the spray nozzle through a coiled hose. The narrow, directable flow helps loosen residue from a large pot, GN vessel, blender pitcher, or dish surface into the sink.

The actual pressure of a pre-rinse spray depends on mains pressure. A tall spray unit body does not automatically increase low plumbing pressure.

Excessive pressure can cause water to splash outside the sink and back onto the worker. The head should be held close to the product, with the flow directed toward the sink base.

Countertop- and Wall-Mounted Models

Countertop-mounted Liva Gaz pre-rinse sprays are aimed at securing the fixture base into a suitable hole on the sink or work counter. Water connections remain under the counter.

Wall-mounted models place the connection and support body on the surface behind the sink. This can free up counter space; the wall's anchoring and plumbing outlets must match the product's dimensions.

For wall mounting, the compatibility of ceramic, stainless panel, or load-bearing wall with the mounting hardware should be checked. A heavy spray arm secured only to a covering surface can loosen over time.

What Does Dual Water Inlet Provide?

A significant portion of Liva Gaz pre-rinse spray models on Mutfak10 are listed with dual water inlet. Hot and cold lines are mixed at the fixture to achieve a water temperature suitable for the product and cleaning task.

A dual-inlet system should not be reduced to a single connection, nor should the hot-cold directions be swapped arbitrarily. Connection diameter, pressure, and temperature should be confirmed in the plumbing project.

Very hot water can fix milk protein or starchy residue onto a surface and create a scald risk for the worker. Pre-rinse temperature should be used in a controlled way based on the type of soil.

Liva Gaz Models with an Auxiliary Tap

Models such as 039, 048, 073, 035, 045, and similar Liva Gaz products may include an auxiliary tap alongside the pre-rinse spray. The auxiliary tap provides continuous sink water flow, vessel filling, or standard tap use from a separate outlet.

An auxiliary tap removes the requirement to use the spray head for every task. Filling a small vessel or hand-controlled rinsing can be done directly through the tap.

Tap outlet height should be matched to the largest vessel to be used. If there is not enough clearance under the tap, a deep vessel may have to be filled at an angle.

The 039 and 048 Countertop Pre-Rinse Sprays

The Liva Gaz 039 and 048 products are listed as countertop-mounted, dual-water-inlet pre-rinse spray units with an auxiliary tap. The two models may differ in body height, spring-hose arrangement, or tap geometry.

The products are noted to have metal tap heads and a coiled-braid hose rated to approximately 100°C. This rating does not mean the system is meant to be used continuously with 100°C water. User safety and plumbing limits should be the guiding factors.

Model selection should be based on sink depth and the farthest point the spray head needs to reach. An unnecessarily long hose can touch the floor or a dirty surface.

Pre-Rinse Spray Options Without an Auxiliary Tap

Products such as 030, 044, 053, and similar may be offered in countertop-mounted, dual-water-inlet configurations without a separate auxiliary tap. This layout is aimed at stations doing pre-rinse solely through the spray head.

Where an auxiliary tap is not needed, a simpler body and fewer control elements can be provided in the dishwashing pre-rinse area. If a standard tap is also needed at the sink, an independent outlet should be added to the plumbing plan.

How Does a Milk Pitcher Shower Unit Work?

A milk pitcher shower unit works by pressing the pot or glass, mouth-down, onto a pressurized head. When the mechanism is triggered, water is sprayed onto the vessel's inner surface from different directions.

The barista can rinse the milk pitcher within a few seconds, sending remaining milk into the sink. This process does not replace the vessel's full washing and sanitization procedure.

A hand, knife, or fragile thin glass should never be pressed onto the shower head. The product's mouth should safely cover the head area, and balanced downward pressure should be applied.

70 and 115 mm In-Sink Systems

Liva Gaz's small in-sink shower system comes in an approximately 70 mm body class. It is aimed at quick pre-rinsing of coffee cups, glasses, and small milk pitchers.

Approximately 115 mm models can be considered for wider glasses, goblets, coffee pots, or milk pitcher bases. Different in-sink configurations with and without side overflow are available.

Product diameter should not be compared to the vessel's top mouth alone. The pitcher's handle, height, and whether it strikes the sink wall when pressed onto the head should be checked.

Side-Overflow and Non-Overflow Design

A side-overflow shower system helps remove excess water through a designated channel or sink arrangement. The sink design and drain connection must be compatible with this structure.

A non-overflow model can offer a simpler in-sink installation. All water is directed straight to the main drain area.

The side-overflow feature does not compensate for a faulty or slow drain. Sink drainage must safely carry the instantaneous water volume generated during spraying.

The 400 × 200 mm Sink-Integrated System

Liva Gaz's sink-integrated industrial glass and vessel washing system is listed with a working area of approximately 400 × 200 mm. Since the shower mechanism is offered within a separate sink body, an independent station can be installed instead of adding a component to an existing basin.

The compact sink is aimed at pre-rinsing milk pitchers, glasses, carafes, and small vessels at a bar counter. It may not provide enough space for a large pot or wide GN vessel.

Clean water connection and wastewater drainage must be prepared under the sink-integrated system. Counter cutting should be based on the product's exact external dimensions and connection details.

Deep Vessel Washing Attachment

The Liva Gaz deep vessel washing attachment is aimed at reaching the inner surface of a blender pitcher, mixer bowl, carafe, or tall vessel. The rotating or multi-directional head can send water not only to the flat base but also to the side walls.

Pressure should not be applied before the deep vessel is fully seated on the head. If the vessel contains a blade, cutting piece, or an electric motor section, the manufacturer's cleaning instructions should be followed.

When rinsing a blender jar, the blade assembly should not be held facing the user. After showering, the vessel should still be washed and sanitized separately.

Managing Water and Detergent Use

A directable spray, compared to a continuously running open tap, can help use water only when needed. Actual savings depend on mains pressure, trigger usage time, and staff habits.

The spray unit does not dose detergent. Pre-rinsing does not replace the main washing chemical. Removing coarse residue from plates entering the dishwasher can reduce detergent and filter load.

Hose, Head, and Limescale Maintenance

The coiled hose should be checked daily for cracks, crushing, and connection leaks. The hose should not be stretched beyond its maximum reach.

If the small holes in the spray head become blocked with limescale or food particles, the spray pattern can be disrupted. The head should be disassembled and cleaned using a method permitted by the manufacturer.

Abrasive wire should not be used on chrome-plated and metal surfaces. Chlorine-based chemicals should not be left on the surface for a long time.

How Should a Liva Gaz Shower Unit Be Chosen?

For dishwashing pre-rinse, sink size, mounting surface, spray reach, and the need for an auxiliary tap should be determined. For a bar station, the largest milk pitcher, glass, or blender jar to be used should be measured.

A 70 or 115 mm system can be added to an existing sink; if an independent station is needed, a sink-integrated model can be considered. Water pressure and drainage capacity should be checked before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should countertop versus wall mounting be chosen for a Liva Gaz pre-rinse spray unit?

The countertop type gathers connections under the sink, while the wall type gathers them behind the sink. Counter thickness, wall load capacity, water outlets, and the spray head's reach should be evaluated together.

Does a Liva Gaz milk pitcher shower unit fully clean the pitcher?

No. Pressurized water provides a quick pre-rinse of milk residue. Pitchers need to be washed with a suitable detergent at the end of the shift and sanitized according to the business's hygiene procedure.

What is the difference between the 70 and 115 mm Liva Gaz shower systems?

The 70 mm model is aimed at small glasses and pitchers, while the 115 mm system is aimed at wider vessel bases. The vessel's mouth, handle, and the range of motion within the sink should be measured.
