Product Information

Pull-out Spray Mixer. With an extendable hose, this tap is perfect for rinsing dishes and food and can be used to control the flow of the water. If you are replacing an existing mixer tap, you will first need to remove the old tap. Before you start you will want to clear everything out from underneath your sink so you can gain full access to the pipes beneath. You might also want to have an old towel and a bowl handy so that you can catch any residual water sitting in the pipes. This is the same as changing basin taps, kitchen taps and single lever basin taps, they are all virtually the same underneath. There should also be parts included with the new mixer tap that you will need for the installation. These are: Place the tap over the hole in the basin or countertop (make sure it is at a 90-degree angle to the basin rim) and lower the flexible tap tails and fixing studs through the hole.

Rather than the old days of two separate taps for hot and cold water flow, a mixer tap ‘mixes’ the hot and cold water within the main body of a single tap. On top there is usually a lever/handle that you can pull up to establish water flow and to either side to determine water temperature. Locate the tap hole in your basin from which you previously removed the old tap. The tap tails and fixing studs should be lowered down into the hole. Also make sure the tap is perpendicular to the rim of the basin. Now that the tap is fixed in place you can connect the pipework. Use speedfit fittings or standard fittings of the right size to connect the water supply to the feed pipes. Ensure that fittings are tightened up securely.

When fitting a new kitchen or bathroom, you’ll want to choose taps and sinks that go well together. Before shopping, remember to measure the space that you have available and take this with you.
