Provide continuous boiling water on tap, eliminate break-room kettle queues, and minimise power bills with the Birko 1120076 TempoTronic 5L Commercial On-Wall Water Boiler with Integrated 7-Day Timer. Australian designed and manufactured specifically for high-turnover school canteens, corporate staff tearooms, sports clubs, medical clinics, community centres, and catering prep stations, this wall-mounted boiling water unit combines rapid thermodynamic recovery with automated programmable scheduling in a space-saving commercial profile.
Unlike basic single-tank urns that suffer drastic temperature drops whenever cold water enters the chamber, the Birko TempoTronic 1120076 incorporates patented stainless steel twin-tank technology. As water reaches boiling point in the primary tank, rising steam is captured and directed into a secondary header tank to pre-heat incoming cold mains water before it reaches the heating element. This thermodynamic recovery process dramatically accelerates boiling recovery rates, maintains consistent delivery temperatures, and significantly reduces daily operating electricity costs.
Driven by a powerful 2.4kW commercial heating element operating on standard single-phase 240V power, the 1120076 delivers 30 standard cups of boiling water immediately from its 5-litre ready reserve, replenishing continuously at an impressive recovery rate of up to 150 cups per hour. This continuous, dependable output ensures morning tea rushes, conference breaks, and meal services run smoothly without service bottlenecks.
This model comes standard with a factory-fitted 7-day electronic programmable timer. Venue managers and business owners can program the unit to power down automatically outside of operational hours—such as overnight, over weekends, or across holiday periods. This automated control eliminates standby energy waste, lowers utility bills, and prolongs the service life of internal heating components.
Engineered to withstand demanding Australian municipal and regional water supplies, the internal boiling vessel 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 steel tanks. The outer casing features mirror-polished commercial stainless steel that resists kitchen grease, steam, and scuffs, wiping clean in seconds to maintain a clean aesthetic in professional tearooms and commercial kitchens.
The TempoTronic 5L is engineered for maximum operational safety, incorporating 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 2400W (10 Amps), it connects straight into any standard Australian single-phase 10A commercial wall socket without requiring expensive three-phase electrical modifications. Its compact 329 mm wide by 201 mm deep profile mounts flush to the wall, keeping food prep benches completely clear.
5-Litre Tank Capacity (30 Cups Instant): Delivers 30 cups of ready-to-pour boiling water immediately, with a rapid continuous recovery rate of up to 150 cups per hour.
Integrated 7-Day Electronic Timer: Program automated shut-off periods overnight and over weekends to prevent standby power waste and extend element life.
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 industry-leading defence against scale build-up and chloride pitting.
Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel Outer Casing: Elegant, hygienic exterior complements modern tearooms, executive boardrooms, and commercial passes.
High-Output 2.4kW Element: Delivers rapid start-up and continuous boil times while running on standard single-phase commercial power 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 201 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 conditions.
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 1120076 is designed for permanent wall-mounted back-of-house and tearoom installation:
Standard 10A Electrical Connection: The boiler is rated at 2.4kW (2400W / 10 Amps) 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 5-litre water reservoir plus internal components, the unit has an operational weight of approximately 12 to 15 kg. It must be mounted to a structurally sound wall (timber stud wall reinforced with noggings, solid brick, or concrete 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.

Can I plug this 5L on-wall boiler into a standard Australian 10 Amp power point?
Yes. The Birko 1120076 draws 2.4kW (2400W / 10 Amps) on standard single-phase 240V power. It comes fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug, allowing it to connect straight into standard commercial wall sockets without requiring dedicated 15A electrical circuits.
What is the benefit of the integrated 7-day electronic timer?
The built-in 7-day electronic timer allows you to schedule the boiler to turn off during non-business hours (e.g., overnight from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM and across entire weekends). This stops the unit from repeatedly cycling power to boil water when nobody is in the building, significantly cutting utility bills.
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 manual refilling.
