Does this mixer tap use a ceramic disc for the controls?

Will the tap connect using standard flexible hoses?

Is the tap WRAS approved?

Yes. The product is WRAS approved. This is designed to give confidence that materials and performance meet recognised UK water supply standards.

What comes in the box?

How tall is the tap and will it suit most kitchen sinks?

It is designed for standard kitchen applications. The overall height is 365 mm, with a spout exit height of 240 mm. This balance of height and reach is intended to provide good clearance for washing up without being overly tall.

Why choose polished chrome for a kitchen mixer tap?

Polished chrome offers a clean, modern finish that suits a wide range of kitchen styles. It is also typically easier to match with other chrome plated accessories and fittings, making it a convenient choice if you are refreshing your sink area.
