AST08 Wall-Mounted Progressive Mixer

Precision-engineered control in a minimalist architectural form.

Design and Functional Identity

The AST08 wall-mounted progressive mixer embodies the essence of the ASTA collection: clean geometry, functionality, and expressive materiality. Inspired by the duality between the vertical stem and the microphone, it combines rigid structure with flexible silicone tubing, a symbolic connector of water and movement. The colored hose, offered in:

• White

• Aqua Green

• Cobalt Blue

• Anthracite Grey

...adds a touch of personalization and softens the industrial precision of the design.

The progressive cartridge allows smooth adjustment of water flow and temperature with a single gesture—ideal for both residential and hospitality settings seeking intuitive interaction and water efficiency.

Smart Wall Integration with PTR Technology

The mixer utilizes CEA’s patented PTR telescopic system, manufactured in AISI 304 stainless steel, that supports high-precision installation. This concealed solution enables final customization even after masonry work is completed. Its advantages include:

• 15 mm telescopic adjustment for variable wall depths

• Deferred aesthetic selection after structural installation

• Universal compatibility with multiple CEA tap collections

• Enhanced stability thanks to the robust fixing bracket

Materials that Endure and Protect

Crafted from AISI 316L stainless steel, the AST08 offers:

• High resistance to corrosion, even in saline or sulphureous environments

• Hypoallergenic and a-toxic composition, suitable for medical-grade hygiene

• Cold-formed fabrication, preserving full mechanical strength

• 100% recyclability, reflecting CEA’s sustainability ethos

No galvanic coatings are used—only mechanical treatments—preserving the steel’s natural resilience while reducing environmental impact.

Finishings with Advanced Surface Technology

AST08 is available in:

• Satin or Polished steel finishes

• CEA SPECIAL FINISHES, including:

  • Black Diamond

  • Copper

  • Light Gold

  • Bronze

These finishes are achieved via vacuum plasma deposition, embedding high-density layers of zirconium and graphite micro-compounds. This creates surfaces that are:

• Scratch-resistant

• Resistant to salt and chemical agents

• Long-lasting with anti-limescale protection (especially in Black Diamond)

• Biocompatible and non-toxic

These innovations not only enhance the steel’s performance but also elevate its visual impact, especially in wet or coastal environments.

Maintenance

To keep the AST08 tap system looking pristine and functioning reliably over time, regular care will be essential. Cleaning should always be performed with non-aggressive agents, specifically suited for stainless steel. After each cleaning, rinsing and drying are highly recommended to avoid water spots and mineral residue.

Avoid the following substances and methods:

• Bleach, chlorine, and ammonia-based products

• Detergents containing hydrochloric, phosphoric, or hydrofluoric acids

• Abrasive cloths, steel wool, or harsh scrubbing pads

• Vapors from acidic or chlorinated cleaners

Instead, use:

• Neutral pH cleaners

• Diluted isopropyl alcohol or sodium carbonate for tougher stains (only on steel parts)

• Soft microfiber cloths to wipe and polish

To maintain internal performance, it is also advisable to install a water softening and filtration system, which helps minimize limescale buildup and extends the lifespan of internal components.
