Birko
Provide continuous boiling water on tap, streamline staff break room refreshments, and reduce commercial energy bills with the Birko 1110074 TempoTronic 3L Commercial Stainless Steel Wall-Mounted Boiling Water Unit. Proudly designed and manufactured in Australia for corporate offices, healthcare consulting rooms, school staffrooms, boutique cafes, aged care pantries, sports clubs, and site offices, this robust on-wall boiler pairs innovative steam-recovery engineering with durable commercial materials to deliver dependable hot water on demand.
Unlike conventional single-tank urns that cool rapidly when fresh water enters the reservoir, the Birko TempoTronic 1110074 utilizes advanced stainless steel twin-tank technology. As water reaches boiling point in the primary chamber, escaping steam is captured and directed to pre-heat incoming cold mains water in a secondary chamber before it reaches the heating element. This thermodynamic process speeds up thermal recovery times, ensures consistent delivery temperatures, and significantly lowers ongoing commercial power consumption.
Driven by a reliable 1.5kW commercial element running on standard Australian single-phase 240V power, the unit holds 3 litres of boiling water (delivering 18 standard cups immediately) and recovers continuously at a rate of up to 100 cups per hour. This continuous output eliminates kitchen kettle bottlenecks, allowing staff and patrons to prepare tea, instant coffee, and instant meals without waiting for water to boil.
Engineered to withstand tough Australian municipal and regional water conditions, the internal tank is fabricated from corrosion-resistant 444-grade stainless steel, offering superior protection against pitting, scale accumulation, and chloride stress-corrosion cracking compared to copper or lower-grade alloys. The exterior chassis features a mirror-polished stainless steel finish that resists grease, steam, and scuffs, wiping clean in seconds to maintain a professional appearance in modern tearooms and commercial kitchens.
The TempoTronic 3L includes an integrated over-temperature thermal safety cut-out that instantly isolates power to the element if the mains water supply is interrupted or the reservoir runs dry. Drawing an economical 1500W (approx. 6.25 Amps), it connects directly into any standard Australian 10 Amp single-phase wall socket. Its compact 300 mm wide by 183 mm deep profile mounts flush to the wall, keeping kitchen benchtops completely clear for meal preparation.
Compact 3-Litre Capacity (18 Cups Instant): Delivers 18 cups of ready-to-pour boiling water at once, with an ongoing recovery rate of up to 100 cups per hour.
Patented Twin-Tank Technology: Reclaims rising steam to pre-heat incoming cold mains water, speeding up thermal recovery and lowering running costs.
Corrosion-Resistant 444-Grade Stainless Tank: Specialised ferritic stainless steel provides exceptional defense against scale build-up and chloride pitting.
Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel Outer Casing: Elegant, hygienic exterior complements modern tearooms, executive boardrooms, and commercial passes.
Energy-Efficient 1.5kW Element: Low 1500W power draw operates on standard single-phase 240V commercial electrical circuits.
Built-In Over-Temperature Safety Cut-Out: Automatic dry-boil safety sensor isolates power to prevent element burnout if water supply is interrupted.
Space-Saving Wall-Mounted Profile: Slim 183 mm depth mounts flush to walls, completely freeing up valuable benchtop and counter space.
Australian Designed & Manufactured: Engineered locally to withstand harsh municipal and regional Australian water supplies.
Standard Australian 10A Connection: Plug-and-play convenience running on standard 240V / 10A commercial wall outlets.
Comprehensive 12-Month Warranty: Full commercial manufacturer backing for complete operational peace of mind.

To maintain rapid boiling recovery, protect heating element efficiency, and prevent mineral scale build-up:
Daily Exterior Wipe-Down: Wipe the polished stainless steel outer case, tap handle, and front fascia using a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and a neutral, food-safe detergent. Never use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, wire brushes, or chlorine-based bleaches, as these will scratch the polished surface and cause metal pitting.
Tap & Spout Cleaning: Clean the dispensing tap spout regularly to remove tea, coffee, and mineral residue. Ensure the silicone seat and swivel handle move freely without obstruction.
Inspect Vent & Drain Clearances: Ensure the lower tundish and drain line remain clear of mineral scale, lint, or debris so expansion water and steam can discharge freely during heating cycles.
Routine Descaling Procedure: In hard water areas, mineral calcium and scale will accumulate on the heating element and inside the 444 stainless steel tank:
Isolate the unit at the electrical wall switch and turn off the cold water isolation tap.
Drain the hot water completely via the service drain tap into a heat-resistant drainage bucket.
Introduce an approved commercial food-safe citric acid descaler or descaling solution through the service access port in accordance with manufacturer instructions.
Allow the solution to dissolve scale for 30 to 45 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
Flush the tank with fresh potable water twice before turning on the power and returning the unit to normal service.
Electrical & Water Safety: Never spray the outer casing with a commercial high-pressure washdown hose or sink pre-rinse gun. All descaling must be performed with the electrical supply completely isolated.
The Birko 1110074 is designed for permanent wall-mounted back-of-house and tearoom installation:
Standard 10A Electrical Connection: The boiler is rated at 1.5kW (1500W) and operates on single-phase 220–240V power. It is supplied with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and lead, plugging straight into a dedicated 10A wall outlet positioned near the mounting bracket. Avoid running the unit on double adaptors or domestic extension leads.
Structural Wall Mounting: Operating with a full 3-litre water reservoir plus internal components, the unit has an operational weight of approximately 8 to 10 kg. It must be mounted to a structurally sound wall (timber stud wall, solid brick, or masonry) using heavy-duty wall anchors or coach screws through the rear mounting chassis.
Mains Plumbing & Pressure Limiting: Connect the unit to a cold potable water supply via a standard 1/2" BSP isolating ball valve. In installations where mains water pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure-limiting valve (PLV) must be fitted on the inlet line in compliance with AS/NZS 3500.1 plumbing codes.
Tundish & Drainage Venting: The boiler vent and overflow line must discharge to an open, visible tundish or waste drain via gravity fall in accordance with local plumbing regulations, ensuring hot expansion water and steam vent safely without backing up.
Clearance & Ventilation: Maintain at least 150 mm of vertical clearance above the unit for top lid access and maintenance servicing, and ensure the steam vent discharges away from electrical sockets and overhead laminated cabinetry.

How does the twin-tank technology save energy?
In traditional single-tank urns, cold water dumps straight into the boiling reservoir, dropping the water temperature and forcing the element to run on full power. The Birko twin-tank system captures the steam generated by boiling water to preheat cold incoming mains water in a secondary chamber. By the time this water enters the boiling chamber, it is already warm, cutting recovery times and reducing electricity consumption.
Why is 444-grade stainless steel used for the internal tank?
Grade 444 stainless steel is a specialised ferritic alloy engineered for high-temperature water heating vessels. It provides superior resistance to stress corrosion cracking, chloride attack, and mineral pitting compared to standard 304 stainless steel or copper, making it reliable across diverse Australian municipal and regional water supplies.
Is this unit permanently plumbed to the water mains?
Yes. The TempoTronic is an automatic wall-mounted boiler that plumbs directly into your cold water supply via a 1/2" BSP connection. It fills and replenishes automatically as water is drawn from the tap, completely eliminating the need for manual refilling.
