Sunmixer Mini Pre Rinse Unit with 180mm Riser and 560mm Hose T98001MN-1C

The Sunmixer T98001MN-1C is a deck-mounted mini pre-rinse unit with a 180 mm riser and a 560 mm flexible stainless steel hose. It is Watermark certified and carries a WELS 3-star water efficiency rating — both of which matter in an Australian commercial fit-out, because Watermark certification is a plumbing-code requirement, not a marketing badge. It includes a check valve to prevent cross-flow and connects to both hot and cold water.

Why operators choose the T98001MN-1C

• Watermark certified — this is the one that decides whether your plumber can legally install it. Watermark certification is required for plumbing products in Australia - an uncertified import can fail inspection
• WELS 3-star water efficiency rating — pre-rinse units are among the heaviest water users in a dishroom, so the star rating translates straight into a water bill
• Check valve prevents cross-flow — stops water crossing between the hot and cold supplies, which is both a code matter and the reason a mixer stops behaving
• Spray valve conforms to ANSI/ASTM F2324-03 — the recognised performance standard for pre-rinse spray valves - it means the spray pattern and flow have actually been tested
• Mini format on a 180 mm riser — the compact version. It suits a small sink or a tight bench where a full-height pre-rinse arm will not fit
• 560 mm flexible stainless hose — enough reach to work a full sink without the bulk of a long arm
• Spring body with finger hook — the spring returns the head to rest and the finger hook parks it, which is what stops the head sitting in the sink
• Connects to both hot and cold water — a genuine mixer rather than a cold-only rinse
• Heavy-duty construction, deck-mounted — mounts through the bench or sink deck rather than the wall

Specifications

Venue suitability

The T98001MN-1C suits cafes, restaurants, hotels and any dishroom where bench space is tight and a full-height pre-rinse arm will not fit. Because it is Watermark certified and WELS rated, it is specifiable on a commercial fit-out without a compliance argument.

Installation & delivery

This is a plumbing fixture, so have it installed by a licensed plumber — the Watermark certification only protects you if the installation itself complies. It is deck-mounted, so you need a hole through the bench or sink deck and access beneath for hot and cold connections. The 180 mm riser plus the spray head needs clear height above the deck; check it against any shelf or wall cupboard over the sink. Our data records no net weight, and the packed dimensions are incomplete — ask our team if you need either for freight.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What does Watermark certification actually mean for me?

It means the product is certified for use in Australian plumbing installations under the Plumbing Code of Australia. A plumber can install a Watermark-certified fitting without a compliance problem; an uncertified import can fail inspection and, in a commercial kitchen, hold up your final sign-off.

Q: How does the mini differ from a full-size pre-rinse unit?

Height and reach. This one has a 180 mm riser and a 560 mm hose, so it works over a small sink or in a spot where a full-height arm would foul a shelf or cupboard. A full-size unit gives more reach and more room to swing a large pot underneath.

Q: What is the WELS 3-star rating worth?

Pre-rinse units run for hours a day, so they are one of the largest water consumers in a dishroom. A 3-star rating means measured, comparable efficiency rather than a claim - it shows up directly in the water bill.

Q: Can I connect it to hot water?

Yes - it connects to both hot and cold, and includes a check valve to prevent cross-flow between the two supplies.

Q: What is the difference between this and the T98001MN-1?

We cannot tell you from our own data, and we would rather say so. Our records for the two SKUs carry the same specification word for word - same 180 mm riser, same 560 mm hose, same certifications - with only the SKU differing. There is presumably a real difference (a finish or a fitting variation), so contact our team to confirm which you need before ordering.

Q: What warranty does the T98001MN-1C come with?

Covered for 2 years, parts only — labour is not included. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
