User-friendliness
Every Oras faucet is designed to make your life easier. This is how we define user-friendliness. This is what makes Oras unique. This is what should be the first thought you have after using any Oras product. This is our promise.
In the following pages, you will see symbols and themes that take you to finer dimensions of user-friendliness. They are features that can be found in all our products – and that we truly emphasize in some of them. By marking them with a symbol. To help you browse through our product families and find exactly what you want.
Welcome to user-friendliness. Welcome to the Oras Experience.

Smart Water
It’s time to be smart about water. Smarter than ever before. The fact that Oras is the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of electronic faucets enables us to say that we are approaching a new era of enjoying water – while saving it. The ease and hygiene of using our touchless faucets is just the beginning: our new Oras Eterna can actually show the ideal duration of a shower. With Oras, however, electronic does not equal smart alone.
Functionality and innovation are present in endless details, defying conventional thinking and giving you the most user-friendly experience a faucet can give. Smart can be seen in easy installation, safety, usability and reliability; in faucets, shower sets and accessories across our range. Yet, while every Oras product is user-friendly, ecological and safe, if it’s touchless, electronic or exceptionally functional and innovative, it will be worthy of the symbol you see above. Smart.

Ecology
Pure water is becoming a commodity we can seldom take for granted. And even if you live in a place where water is plenty and clean, you might be surprised to know that hot water can amount to more than a third of your household’s energy costs. This is why we create no technology without its foundation in ecology. Our first single-lever faucet, designed to save water and energy, was created in 1976. Ever since, we have wanted to lead the way in joining modern technology with green values. Proof of this can be experienced in even our most basic single-lever faucets equipped with eco-functions as well as in our sophisticated thermostats and in our electronic faucets. In its purest form, we label Ecology with a symbol – that you can find throughout our product families.

Safety
You will not burn your fingers on the surface of an Oras faucet.
Nor underneath one: even some of our basic faucets come with a safety-button that protects the smallest of hands from harm. Along with saving energy. Steady temperature is a crucial safety factor in the shower, too. And when you choose Oras touchless, it will be impossible to leave water running unattended. The same goes with Oras automatic dish-washer valves that close after the washing is done. This is why Oras is the choice of families with small children – and especially households with elderly or disabled people. In Europe, for instance, we already have more senior citizens than ever before. So, we dare proudly say that all our products are easy and safe to use. Always and for all. And especially so, when you see the symbol above.
12 13
HygieneAccording to the World Health Organization (the WHO) there are thousands of diseases, from a common cold to more serious ones, that are spread by touch, and the number is increasing around the globe. That is why we design Hygiene into every form and function of our products – such as our Oras Bidetta hand showers for personal hygiene. And our touchless faucets, of course. They are easy, safe and comfortable to use without touching. Which also helps in keeping the home beautiful and tidy. That is why they deserve our special symbol for Hygiene.
14 15
Luxury
Luxury is not just elegance or beauty. Luxury is also functionality that best enables you to enjoy water in your everyday life. Our design is born by need and then perfected into aesthetics. It means you can turn faucets on and off at the touch of a hand. Or without touching them at all. Luxury is water at just the temperature you require, without having to adjust it each time. Luxury is a faucet surface that never gets scalding hot or ice cold. In the hands of our internationally renowned designers, luxury sometimes reaches a peak that is simply impossible to resist. In pure form, amazing details or smoothness of flow. Or all of them. You will see a symbol then – if the faucet hasn’t blinded you.

In the Kitchen
20 21
Let’s clean up the kitchen. Take away everything except user-friendliness.
And your imagination.
22 23
La Cucina Alessi by Oras
La Cucina Alessi by Oras is the result of a project by the world-famous Alessi and Oras, with the goal of bringing both imagination and utmost functionality to the kitchen. The faucet series includes a faucet combination designed by Stefano Giovannoni and has two separate faucets: one for cooking (two-handle faucet) and one for washing hands (touchless faucet). Both faucets can be installed either on the same sink, side by side, or separately, so that a touchless faucet is mounted, for instance, on a washbasin.
Oras Ventura
Oras Ventura is truly a unique, precision kitchen tool. Being beautiful and safe to use, it’s a dream come true for those who love to cook a lot at home. The touchless one of the two spouts automatically delivers warm water for hand washing, which is hygienic and saves water. This is important, too, when the kitchen is used by small children or elderly chefs. When you need strictly hot or cold water for cooking, you can get it quickly from the upper spout. The upper spout also allows plenty of working space underneath to wash even large saucepans or rinse a lettuce. Oras Ventura is available with an electronic dishwasher valve that shuts off automatically to prevent water damage. Design: Jorma Vennola.
La Cucina Alessi by Oras
The latest kitchen faucet in the La Cucina Alessi by Oras family is a single-lever faucet designed by Alessandro Mendini. A totally unique design with a high, sculptural spout appeals to the eye and creates a characterful effect to the kitchen. The faucet is also available, as standard, with a dishwasher valve.
24 25
Oras Aventa
Oras Aventa truly combines modern design with ease of use and versatility. All the necessary adjustments can be handled with a single grip while the high position of the faucet gives you plenty of room to maneuver. And for those hard-to-reach places, just pull out the extendable spout – and you’re done in no time! This is user-friendliness the Oras way. Design: Jorma Vennola.
Oras Cubista
Art becomes user-friendliness in our exceptionally wide Oras Cubista collection. The design and functionality have been strongly influenced by the geometrical forms of cubism: cones, cylinders and spheres. The range includes faucets for all water points at home: kitchen, bathroom and other sanitary facilities. The speciality of Oras Cubista kitchen faucets lie in the so called timedriven kitchen faucet; the connection valve for a dish washer closes automatically either after three or twelve hours – one can never forget it open. The arching spout of the Oras Cubista kitchen faucet makes Oras Cubista a true center-piece in the kitchen. While creating sufficient working space for washing the biggest pots and pans. Design: Kirsi Svärd.
Oras Vega
A faucet that began saving water in 1976. That year, we created our first single-lever faucet, designed to save water and energy. In developing the Oras Vega series, the starting point was to use existing and guaranteed Oras technology and to improve the usability of the faucet with the firm and user-friendly design. In the new Oras Vega, there is a compact lever with our eco-button, which makes it easier to save water and energy. When you open the faucet, water first flows at a limited – but mostly sufficient – economy flow-rate. If you need more water, just press the eco-button and simultaneously lift the lever and you will pass the standard flow-rate. Oras Vega is truly the original. In many modern variations.
Oras Vienda
A faucet family that combines decades of experience with today’s thinking. The evolution of Oras core values in faucet design and user-friendliness has formed Oras Vienda into a very easy, intuitive and functional faucet for daily use. The water temperature and flow can be adjusted smoothly. The rounded shapes keep the faucet dry and stainless from drying water. This way the faucet surface is easy to keep clean and hygienic. The kitchen faucet has a high spout that gives more work space under the faucet. Due to its functionality, Oras Vienda also saves water and energy. When you take Oras Vienda, you can take it easy. Design: Kirsi Svärd.
Oras Saga
Like our timeless classic, Oras Safira, you’ll find lots of lasting qualities in Oras Saga. Pure and simple forms tell the story: this faucet, in all its variations is built to be user-friendly – and to last.
Oras Safira
Oras Safira is our basic yet durable and versatile single-lever faucet family, offering an exceptionally wide range of faucets for both bathrooms and kitchen. Oras Safira also comes with a built-in limitaton option for water temperature and maximum flow-rate. To make your life easier. And like all our single-lever faucets, Oras Safira can be supplied with assist handles to accommodate users with special needs. These handles can be an advantage for the elderly or the disabled – and especially in situations where hygiene is top priority.

Il Bagno Alessi Dot by Oras
Concentrate on the simplicity of a dot and you’re at core of luxurious design by Wiel Arets. The key design element, a circle, is shared by all the pieces. The same forms are repeated throughout the bathroom concept: the diameters of the faucets are the same size, all equal. All pure. And also suitable for bowl shaped basins. “The water flows from the faucets as freely as from a waterfall,” Wiel Arets describes. When the importance of pure harmony is essential.
Oras Ventura
Oras Ventura brings soft beauty and harmony to the bathroom. Smoothness of use and ease of keeping clean in crystallize in the touchless function of Oras Ventura. While also offering you the manual and intuitive single-lever feel, if you so wish. Complete your comfort with personal hygiene by combining Oras Bidetta with the Oras Ventura wash basin faucet. Design: Jorma Vennola.
Il Bagno Alessi One by Oras
Il Bagno Alessi One by Oras is a beautifully designed bathroom system that includes numerous faucets, furniture, mirrors, lighting, bathtubs and bathroom accessories created in co-operation with Laufen and Inda. Also available are Il Bagno Alessi One by Oras touchless washbasin faucets, thus combining luxurious design with saving water and energy.Hygiene is complete with the Bidetta hand shower. User-friendliness is guaranteed by easily adjustable temperature regulation. And touchless faucets will not drip since their flow is automatically closed after washing. Design: Stefano Giovannoni.
Oras Cubista
The exceptionally wide Oras Cubista collection brings the fine art of user-friendliness to the bathroom, all the way to the Oras Cubista thermostatic shower mixer. As a touchless wash basin faucet, Oras Cubista finds its purest form. Let it please the eye as well as the environment: being touchless, you’ll always get just the amount of water you need. As a bonus, finger prints on the surface will be history, too. For even more personal hygiene, you can choose Oras Bidetta to go along with your Oras Cubista wash basin faucet. Design: Kirsi Svärd.
Oras Electra

Oras Vienda
In the bathroom, Oras Vienda is just as easy, intuitive and functional as in the kitchen. It’s easy to turn on and off, the water temperature and flow can be adjusted smoothly, just so. The rounded shapes keep the faucet dry and stainless from drying water. This way the faucet surface is easy to keep clean and hygienic. When you take Oras Vienda, you can take it easy. Design: Kirsi Svärd.

Oras Vega
Our original water and energy saver. Now evolved to suit any bathroom. The firm two-component lever with the Oras eco-button makes it easier to save water and energy. When you open the faucet, water first flows at a limited – but mostly sufficient – economy flow-rate. If you need more water, just press the eco-button and simultaneously lift the lever and you will pass the standard flow-rate. The eco-button is also a safety factor, as it limits the water temperature. Oras Vega is truly the original. In many modern variations.
Oras Eterna
It’s time to be smart about water. Smarter than ever before. The new Oras Eterna comes with revolutionary functionality in design and every detail. Its EcoLed function tells you the ideal duration of your shower – without wasting water and energy. The 90 degrees turning diverter spout and an extremely sophisticated thermostat combine luxury with intuitiveness. Automatic bathtub-filling function up to a fixed amount of water completes the perfect package. Especially so, when you combine your Oras Eterna with just the Oras shower set you prefer – Oras Natura, for instance. You simply have to experience Oras Eterna to believe it. Design: Kirsi Svärd.
Oras Optima
Precision and balance that make your daily life easier. Oras Optima comes with an exceptionally accurate thermostat, reacting automatically to even the slightest fluctuations in water pressure and temperature. When showering, you can conveniently increase or decrease the water temperature with one handy temperature controller. The safety button on the temperature adjuster ensures you don’t accidentally set water temperature too high and scald yourself. While saving water and energy. Another important feature is the faucet surface that doesn’t get hot. This is why Oras Optima is the safe choice for children, too.Ceramic valve ensures reliability – and the lack of surprises.Design: Jorma Vennola.
Oras Nova
When beauty meets simplicity, it is a pleasure to the eye. There lies the elegance of Oras Nova. Everything about it has been cut down to the bare essentials: no intricate parts that collect dirt and are hard to clean. The faucet is simple and safe to use. Temperature and flow rate control handles move lightly. The thermostat reacts automatically to even the slightest fluctuations in water pressure and temperature. Oras Nova is also available for reversed hot and cold water supplies. Design: Jorma Vennola.
40 41
Oras Natura
50% less water. 100 % showering pleasure. The Oras Natura shower set has a unique function that saves both water and energy. You can enjoy a refreshing shower and simultaneously use up to 50% less water and energy compared with normal showers. The water and energy saving function is activated by pressing the eco-button in the hand shower head, which displays a green ring to indicate that the function is in use. The eco-function halves the flow of water from the shower. Oras Natura is easy to install and compatible with all Oras thermostatic mixers. Design: Kirsi Svärd.
Oras Oramix
Thoroughly and carefully tested technology is what defines Oras Oramix. It has been designed for buildings that have several water supplies and a network with plenty of hot water. In such conditions, e.g. apartment and terraced houses, water pressure fluctuates constantly and therefore the faucet must be able to react to pressure changes quickly and accurately. Oramix pressostatic shower faucet guarantees that water temperature stays even, whether other water supplies on the same network are used simultaneously or not. Safety and ease of use are standard, naturally. Design: Jorma Vennola.
Oras Hydra
Pleasure, expanded. In the Oras Hydra shower, the water becomes beaded and feels like soft, pleasant rain. Which means lower amounts of water than in a conventional water flow. There are two different functions in the Oras Hydra hand shower. In addition to a normal soft spray, the hand-held shower has a refreshing Hydra function, which delivers a strong spray. The Hydra switch is conveniently located in the handle so it can easily be used with one hand. The shower has a compact swivel spout. The spa-like set is completed with a versatile soap holder. Design: Kirsi Svärd.
Oras Sensiva
Sense the ease. Sense the flow. Oras Sensiva is two shower experiences in one: have a normal shower or enjoy a massaging flow, with ease. The only thing easier with Oras Sensiva is the shower rail, designed like an elevator system that a child can operate. And of course, the fact that Oras Sensiva is self-cleaning.
Oras Apollo
The Oras Apollo shower set delivers an abundant and gentle spray through its spray plate, using a small amount of water. The Oras Apollo hand shower is light and easy to handle. With the Oras Apollo shower rail, you can adjust both the height and direction of the shower with ease. The chrome rail also includes a separate soap tray for convenient storage of shampoo bottles. The rail is easy to demount and clean. Design: Jorma Vennola.

Here up north, Water Is Worth Loving.
As indeed it is all over the world. But maybe there’s something in the fact that the Nordic nature is so close to water, in all its forms, all year around. Maybe that sparked the ambition that we at Oras have had for over 65 years: to constantly explore and deliver user-friendly, smart, ecological, hygienic, luxurious and safe ways to enjoy water.
How does it show?It shows in the fact that all Oras faucets are manufactured in our own factories, in Europe. Every single product is thoroughly tested and has an international product approval. Our processes have environmental, quality and occupational health manage-ment certificates and they meet the highest European faucet industry standards for quality and sustainability. Indeed, our first faucet designed to save water and energy was created in 1976. Today, our single-lever faucet cartridge is standard to all types, completed with functional and reliable ceramic discs. Due to decades of experience and our massive testing program we are proud to offer a five-year drop-free guarantee for our single lever faucets.
The use of multi-technology in all our processes has led us to numerous ideal solutions, such as using the best possible corrosion resistant material (DZR-brass) and technical plastics to prevent the forming of lime and other impurities. By adding electronics we have taken Oras user-friendliness on to yet a higher level. So, over the years we have moved on from pioneering thermostats to introducing ground-braking eco-buttons and automatic dish-washer valves – and all the way to being a leading developer and manufacturer of electronic faucets. They are not only touchless, but can be smart, too, telling you, for example, the ideal duration of a shower.
Tomorrow? Possibilities are enormous, as is our global and mutual challenge to save water and energy. Which means that our journey of constant innovation continues. That is how we can ensure the Oras quality – for you to Experience.

Frequently asked questions
5. The spout of our faucet turns beyond the sink. Is there a way to limit it?All Oras kitchen faucets can be limited so that the spout will not turn beyond the sink. See relevant information for your faucet type: www.oras.com
6. What is the “eco button”?The eco button on Oras faucets limits water flow. The eco button reduces the maximum flow by setting it to economy mode – 60–90% of the maximum flow depending on the faucet’s application. If more water is needed, simply press the eco button and lift the lever simultaneously.
7. What is the “safety knob”?The temperature safety knob ensures that water which is too hot cannot flow out of the faucet by accident. The limit can be set to your requirements, depending on the temperature of the inflowing waters. The safety knob makes the faucet safe to use even for children.
1. What kind of guarantee do we offer on our faucets?Our faucets come with a two year guarantee (raw material and manufacturing faults), valid from the date of purchase or the first day of usage (as proven by the receipt) or from the manufacturing year stamp. The single lever faucet cartridge has a five-year drip-free guarantee with respective limitations. See complete guarantee terms and conditions: www.oras.com
2. How should our faucets be cleaned?The same rules apply to cleaning faucet surfaces as to cleaning the painted surfaces on other domestic appliances. Faucets must be cleaned using neutral or mild alkaline (pH 6-9) liquid detergents. The usage and dosage instructions provided by the detergent manufacturer(s) must always be followed. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth with the detergent solution. Wipe the faucet and rinse with plenty of clean lukewarm water and finish by wiping dry. IMPORTANT! Do not use a spray can to apply detergent to your faucet. Familiarize yourself with the cleaning instructions supplied with your faucet.
3. Are Oras products certified?Our quality and environmental system is certified according to the international standards ISO 9001,ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. These certificates cover the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and aftersales of faucets and valves.
4. Can a faucet be installed in a sauna?We do not recommend the installation of faucets in steam rooms. Faucets and faucet appliances must not be exposed to temperatures which exceed +65 °C. If a faucet is installed in a sauna facility, it must be placed as low and far from the stove as possible.

8. What is a thermostatic faucet?A thermostatic faucet is a faucet that maintains the water temperature selected, regardless of the temperature difference between the inflowing waters. For all our thermostatic faucets we use the same fast-acting reliable cartridge, which is even suitable for lime containing water.
9. What is a pressostatic faucet?A pressostatic faucet is a faucet that maintains the required temperature of the shower water, regardless of the varying pressures of the inflowing waters. A pressostatic faucet is suitable for use in facilities which have several water outlets and always have plenty of hot water in the reserve (for instance apartment buildings, factories, swimming pools, etc.). In these kinds of facilities, the water pressure is always changing but there is usually enough hot water. The pressostatic faucet reacts quickly and precisely to changes in water pressure.
10. What is a touchless faucet? What benefits does it offer?Oras touchless faucets are easy and safe to use as well as hygienic. You can’t “forget” to turn off the faucet since it closes automatically. Touchless faucets save both water and energy.
11. How does the electronic washing machine valve work?The electronic washing machine valve is turned on by pressing the operating button. A red indicator light blinks once every five seconds. The valve closes automatically after three hours. The valve is also turned off by pressing the operating button. To turn the valve on for 12 hours, push the operating button and hold it down for approximately five seconds.
12. Is the cartridge always the same for all Oras faucets?Yes, the same cartridge (spare part No. 158890) is suitable for all Oras faucets manufactured since 1982.
13. Why is there a cord pull on the Sensiva shower set?The Oras Sensiva shower set is fitted with a cord pull mechanism. With the help of the cord pull even children can easily adjust the height of the shower.
14. Why do we use plastic in our faucets? Plastic is mainly used for our faucet surfaces and the levers on some faucets. The pressurized faucet parts are always made of dezincification resistant brass.Plastic offers greater comfort especially in bath and shower faucets. It reduces noise and prevents the faucet surface from heating up. Special high-quality technical plastics are selected with utmost care and our products are long lasting and safe to use in a wide range of applications.
