Who are Inta?
Water control engineered around what happens at the outlet.
Inta, part of Intatec, is a UK-based specialist in plumbing, heating and water-control products established in 2002.
Within accessible bathrooms and washrooms, Inta is particularly relevant because it addresses two separate questions: how easily the user can operate the water and how safely its temperature is controlled.
Its ranges include thermostatic mixing valves, long-lever taps, timed-flow controls, infrared products, healthcare tapware and commercial shower systems.
Independent 4 Life supplies a substantial Inta range for domestic adaptations, care environments, healthcare, public washrooms and commercial projects.

2002
UK plumbing and heating innovation
Inta began with commercial plumbing products and expanded
rapidly into thermostatic anti-scald showering and wider
water-control technology.
Water safety is a system
The tap is only the final point in the control chain.
A safe and usable outlet depends on the incoming supplies, thermostatic strategy, control method and final delivery all being suitable for the particular installation.
Temperature Protection
An integral thermostatic cartridge or separate TMV can blend hot and cold supplies to a controlled mixed temperature.
User Control
Lever, push-button, infrared, knee or foot operation changes the physical action needed to start and stop the water.
Safe Delivery
The final outlet needs to deliver the intended flow and temperature while meeting the requirements of its environment.
Start with the interaction
Five different ways to ask for water.
Accessibility does not automatically mean choosing a sensor. Different users and environments benefit from different physical control methods.
Extended Lever
Longer handles can be pushed by the hand, palm or elbow where fine grip and twisting are difficult.
Timed Flow
Press once to start the water. The non-concussive control then closes automatically after its timed flow.
Infrared
Detects the user's hands and activates without requiring a conventional handle or push button.
Knee Operated
Moves water control away from the hands entirely for specialist wash stations and particular accessibility requirements.
Foot Operated
Pedal operation keeps both hands free and can suit clinical, commercial and specialist hygiene environments.
What we supply from Inta
From the hidden mixing valve to the control the user touches.
Our current Inta range covers temperature protection, accessible washbasin controls, touchless operation and complete commercial showering systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about Inta water controls.
What is Inta known for?
Inta is a UK water-control specialist whose ranges include thermostatic mixing valves, thermostatic taps, shower controls, timed-flow taps, infrared controls and commercial plumbing products.
What is a thermostatic mixing valve?
A thermostatic mixing valve blends hot and cold supplies to deliver mixed water at a controlled temperature. The exact valve must be selected, installed and commissioned for its intended application.
What is the difference between TMV2 and TMV3?
TMV2 and TMV3 are different thermostatic-valve approval schemes intended for different application environments. TMV3 is associated with higher-risk healthcare and care applications, while TMV2 is commonly relevant to domestic and residential settings. Always check the exact project requirements.
Are Inta taps suitable for users with limited grip?
Selected Inta taps use extended or sequential levers that can reduce the need for fine finger grip. Other options include push-button, infrared and specialist hands-free controls.
What is a non-concussive tap?
A non-concussive tap is a timed self-closing control. The user pushes the control to start the water and the tap closes automatically after a defined period.
