The APE101 180mm Bib Tap Long Body is a premium plastic wall-mounted tap engineered for kitchens, wash areas, and utility sinks across Coimbatore and Tamil Nadu. Part of Aary Plastic's Elite Series Taps range, this long body bib tap combines a sturdy arc-type design with a leak-proof mechanism, rust-free construction, and smooth, uninterrupted water flow. Its extended 180mm body gives better reach and clearance over sinks, wash basins, and washing areas, making it a practical plastic bib cock for homes, apartments, hotels, hospitals, and commercial wash stations. Available in White, Charcoal, and Almond finishes, the APE101 plastic wall tap is lightweight yet built to withstand daily, high-frequency use without cracking, corroding, or leaking — a reliable, budget-friendly alternative to heavier brass or PTMT taps for builders, plumbers, and homeowners.
The APE101 180mm Bib Tap Long Body is one of the most versatile fittings in Aary Plastic's Elite Series Taps collection — a wall-mounted plastic bib tap designed specifically for the extra reach that Indian kitchens, utility areas, and wash spaces demand. Where a standard-length bib cock often falls short over deep sinks or wide wash basins, the APE101's 180mm long body extends comfortably over the working area, giving you better clearance for buckets, vessels, and hand-washing without splashing against the wall. Manufactured in Coimbatore using premium-grade engineering plastic, this bib tap long body is built to deliver consistent, leak-free performance for years, whether it's installed in a home, an apartment complex, a hotel wash area, or a commercial kitchen.
As demand grows across Tamil Nadu for plumbing fittings that combine affordability with durability, plastic bib taps like the APE101 have become the preferred choice over traditional brass and PTMT fittings for a large share of builders, contractors, and retail plumbing stores. This page walks through what a long body bib tap is, how the APE101 is engineered, where it fits best, and why Aary Plastic's Coimbatore manufacturing gives it an edge in quality and consistency.
A bib tap (also called a bib cock, wall tap, or wall-mounted tap) is a single-spout tap fixed directly onto a wall above a sink, basin, or wash area, rather than rising from a countertop or vessel like a pillar tap or mixer. It's the most common tap format used in Indian kitchens, utility sinks, bathrooms, terraces, and outdoor wash points because it's simple to plumb, easy to maintain, and doesn't require deck space.
The "long body" designation refers to the length of the tap's arm — in this case, 180mm from the wall flange to the spout tip. A longer body means the water outlet sits further out and, in many installations, slightly lower, which matters a great deal in real-world use: it lets you fit a bucket underneath, wash utensils in a deep sink without your knuckles scraping the basin edge, or fill containers that a short-body tap simply can't accommodate. For wall-mounted kitchen taps, wash-area taps, and utility sink taps, this extra 180mm of reach is often the deciding factor between a tap that's genuinely usable day to day and one that constantly gets in the way.
The APE101 follows an arc-type design — a smooth, curved profile rather than a harsh right-angle bend — which does two things well. First, it reduces turbulence inside the tap body, so water exits in a steadier, quieter stream instead of splashing. Second, the rounded arc is easier to wipe clean and doesn't collect grime in sharp corners the way angular tap designs can.
Every APE101 unit is manufactured from high-grade engineering plastic, chosen specifically for plumbing applications where long-term exposure to water, moisture, and varying water pressure is a given. This is not a generic PVC pipe fitting adapted into a tap shape — it's a purpose-built plastic bib tap with:
Two of the most common complaints with low-quality bathroom and kitchen taps are leaking at the spindle over time and rusting or staining at the joints — both of which are largely a metal-fitting and cheap-washer problem. Because the APE101 is built entirely in engineering-grade plastic with a proper leak-proof washer mechanism, it sidesteps rust and corrosion completely. There's no metal body to oxidise, no rust rings forming around the base, and no green or black staining on tiles and basins that's so common with ageing brass or GI taps in Coimbatore's hard-water areas.
The leak-proof seal also means less water wastage over the life of the tap — a genuinely practical benefit for households and commercial properties on metered water connections, and a strong selling point when you're talking to water-conscious customers or bulk buyers like hotels and hospitals.
The APE101 is available in three finishes — White, Charcoal, and Almond — chosen to match the most common bathroom and kitchen tile palettes across Tamil Nadu homes and commercial fit-outs. White suits bright, minimal bathrooms and hospital-style wash areas; Charcoal works well against dark countertops and modern industrial-style kitchens; Almond is a warmer, neutral tone that blends easily with beige or cream tile schemes. All three colors are UV-stable and resist yellowing from cleaning agents and direct sunlight in outdoor or semi-outdoor installations such as terrace wash points and garden taps.
Because it's a wall-mounted, long-reach plastic tap, the APE101 is suited to a wide range of installations:
For builders and contractors sourcing plastic taps in bulk for apartment or villa projects across Coimbatore, the APE101's combination of low unit cost, corrosion resistance, and consistent quality control makes it a practical standard-issue tap across multiple bathrooms, kitchens, and utility points on a single project.
Brass bib taps are still common in premium fit-outs, and PTMT (Polytetramethylene Terephthalate) taps sit in the mid-range, but both come with trade-offs that a well-engineered plastic bib tap like the APE101 avoids. Brass taps are heavier, cost significantly more, and — unless plated well — can develop a metallic taste or discoloration in hard-water regions over time. PTMT taps are lighter than brass but can become brittle in extreme heat or with prolonged UV exposure in outdoor settings.
A high-grade plastic tap such as the APE101 offers a middle path: it's lightweight and easy to install, doesn't corrode or rust, resists hard-water scaling better than untreated metal, and comes in at a fraction of the price of brass — without the fragility concerns of lower-grade PTMT. For budget-conscious homeowners, rental property owners, and bulk buyers who need reliable performance without a premium price tag, this makes the APE101 a sensible default choice for kitchen, bathroom, and utility taps.
The APE101 is designed for straightforward installation by any local plumber using standard wall-mount fittings — no special tools or non-standard thread sizes are required. A few tips to get the longest life out of the tap:
Aary Plastic is a Coimbatore-based manufacturer of plastic taps, valves, faucets, and showers, and the APE101 is manufactured, quality-checked, and dispatched directly from our facility in Ganapathy, Coimbatore. Buying directly from the manufacturer — rather than through multiple distribution layers — means more consistent batch quality, better bulk pricing for builders and dealers, and faster turnaround on repeat orders for hardware stores, plumbers, and project contractors across Tamil Nadu and beyond.
As part of the Elite Series Taps range, the APE101 sits alongside other long body and wall-mounted tap models designed to give retailers and builders a complete, matched set of plastic bathroom and kitchen fittings — useful when you want every tap across a project or a store's shelf to share the same finish, quality standard, and warranty backing. Whether you're a homeowner replacing a single worn-out tap, a plumber sourcing reliable fittings for client jobs, or a builder placing a bulk order for an apartment project in Coimbatore, the APE101 is priced and engineered to make that decision easy.
Is the APE101 suitable for both indoor and outdoor use?
Yes. Its corrosion-resistant plastic body and UV-stable finish make it suitable for indoor kitchen and bathroom installations as well as outdoor or semi-outdoor points such as terraces, gardens, and wash yards.
What is the difference between the APE101 and a standard-length bib tap?
The APE101 has an extended 180mm long body, giving significantly more reach and clearance over sinks and basins compared to standard short-body bib taps, which is especially useful for deep kitchen sinks and utility wash areas.
Does the APE101 come with a warranty or leak-proof guarantee?
The tap is built with a leak-proof mechanism as standard; for specific warranty terms on bulk or retail orders, please contact Aary Plastic directly.
Can I get the APE101 in bulk for a builder or apartment project in Coimbatore?
Yes, Aary Plastic supplies bulk orders for builders, contractors, and dealers directly from our Coimbatore facility — contact us for project pricing.
Is a plastic bib tap as durable as a brass one?
A well-engineered plastic tap like the APE101 resists rust and corrosion better than untreated brass in hard-water areas, and while brass has higher raw weight and heat tolerance, the APE101's engineering-grade plastic is built specifically to withstand daily household and commercial use without cracking or leaking.
