Scandvik Cold Water Taps/Faucets

When space is at a premium and durability is non-negotiable, Scandvik has engineered a specialized range of cold water taps and faucets specifically for the demanding marine environment. Built for galleys, wet bars, bait stations, and outdoor washdown applications, these fixtures combine smart design with construction quality that stands up to constant exposure to saltwater, UV radiation, and the rigors of life onboard.

Space-Saving Folding Spout Innovation

Scandvik's signature folding cold water taps feature swivel and folding spouts that address one of the most common challenges in marine plumbing: limited clearance. These taps deliver easy access while folding flat when not in use, making them ideal for installations under seats, in compact sink cutouts, or anywhere vertical space is restricted. The folding mechanism isn't just a convenience feature—it protects the spout from damage during rough passages and prevents interference with hatches or storage compartments.

Scandvik's folding taps support both vertical or horizontal installation, giving boat owners flexibility to adapt to challenging mounting situations. Whether you're retrofitting an older vessel or outfitting a new build, this versatility simplifies installation planning and ensures a clean, functional result.

Marine-Grade Materials and Finish Options

Scandvik constructs their cold water taps from solid brass, providing the corrosion resistance and structural integrity essential for marine applications. The brand offers three distinct finish options: brushed PVD, chrome, and white powder coat, allowing boaters to match their vessel's aesthetic while maintaining protection against the harsh marine environment. The brushed PVD finish, in particular, offers exceptional resistance to fingerprints and wear, making it a popular choice for high-traffic galley installations.

For applications requiring more traditional styling, Scandvik's heavy-duty cast brass cold water basin tap provides a robust, classic design with a chrome-plated brass body. This model suits traditional yacht interiors and installations where a standard basin tap profile is preferred over the space-saving folding design.

Connection Standards and Installation

Scandvik's cold water taps feature 3/8" BSP-M threaded shafts with 1/2" NPS-M adapters included, ensuring compatibility with both European and American plumbing standards without requiring additional fittings. This attention to international compatibility reflects the brand's understanding of the global marine market, where vessels may be built in one country, refitted in another, and require parts anywhere in the world.

Whether you're upgrading a tired galley, adding a cockpit washdown station, or outfitting a fishing boat's bait prep area, Scandvik's cold water tap collection delivers the thoughtful engineering and marine-specific construction that serious boaters demand from their onboard systems.
