AST16 Deck-Mounted Adjustable Spout

A fusion of industrial elegance and mechanical clarity.

Dynamic Form Meets Refined Control

The AST16 tap delivers an architectural expression of water movement. With its deck-mounted base and pivoting, detachable spout, it enables targeted reach and practical adjustability. Referencing the familiar outline of the freestanding ASTA structure and audio microphone boom, the design adds a functional elegance to modern interior landscapes. A colored silicone hose links water control with visual identity—transforming a technical element into a stylistic feature.

Hidden Strength Behind the Surface

To ensure stability and endurance, the AST16 is paired with a concealed mounting system crafted from AISI 304 stainless steel. This built-in mechanism, complete with an anchoring bracket, ensures structural integrity and keeps the fixture firmly positioned regardless of application environment.

Key structural advantages include:

• Flush integration with furniture or surfaces

• No visual disruption above deck

• Strong anti-rotation mounting base

• Ideal for high-traffic or contract projects

Material Purity and Environmental Awareness

The AISI 316L stainless steel body defines the performance of the AST16. This material is known for its superior resistance to corrosion in aggressive environments, particularly where moisture, salt, or sulfur compounds are present. As with all CEA designs, the steel is cold-processed—this approach preserves mechanical strength without needing galvanic coatings, aligning with a fully sustainable design philosophy that values recyclability, biocompatibility, and long-term hygiene.

Special Finishes and Technical Surface Treatment

All models in the ASTA line, including AST16, are available in mechanically applied satin or mirror finishes. In addition, clients can select from CEA’s range of SPECIAL FINISHES, created through advanced deposition of zirconium and graphite in high-vacuum chambers.

• Black Diamond, for anti-calcareous performance

• Copper, with warm industrial tones

• Light Gold, for luminous accents

• Bronze, with deep matte character

These coatings enhance scratch resistance, prevent tarnishing, and boost the natural gloss and hardness of the steel. Environmentally conscious and completely non-toxic, they also extend the lifespan of the surface, even in outdoor or marine climates.

Silicone Flexibility and Color Variability

The hose element, connecting the spout to its deck-mounted base, is made of medical-grade silicone rubber, chosen for its softness, hygiene, and chemical tolerance. Unlike traditional metallic hoses, this component offers a smoother touch, effortless movement, and long-term stability.

• Withstands extreme temperatures from -55°C to +200°C

• Maintains color consistency under UV exposure

• Non-reactive and ideal for humid environments

• Offered in white, aqua green, cobalt blue, and anthracite grey

This choice of material not only elevates the visual identity but also enhances functionality in daily use.

Maintenance

To ensure the AST16 tap retains its visual purity and operational quality, you will always perform regular care using cleaning products made for stainless steel. After cleaning, you will rinse and dry the surface thoroughly to avoid marks from mineral deposits. It will be essential to avoid chemical disinfectants containing bleach, chlorine compounds, or ammonia-based solutions, as well as highly acidic agents. Instead, you will prefer neutral-pH formulations and, where necessary, diluted isopropyl alcohol for stainless components. Steel surfaces must never be scrubbed with abrasive cloths or powders. Finally, to prolong the internal condition of the tap and reduce scale build-up, you will consider incorporating a water filtration or softening system into the installation.
