Tapware Structure & Fittings

All tap mixers operate with a ceramic disk which is more durable and efficient than the old style washers.

The sub-structure, whether the tapware is finished in chrome, gold or brass plating , is normally brass which is a material that does not rust. Tapware with contrasting black features is also making a return and is destined to become a wanted fashion item in the bathroom and kitchen.

Vanity and kitchen mixer taps come with hot and cold water supply tails and the necessary fitting to ensure that you tap has a stable base and the chances of leaking is down to a minimum. Please remember that tapware must be installed by a licensed Plumber otherwise warranties will be negated.

Most tapware will fit into the holes provided by the manufacturer of basins and kitchen sinks. However, a word of caution. Some of the smaller wall hung basins,because of their size, have a slightly smaller hole than usual. This means that some basin mixers will not fit because of the width between the two long attachment screws. Help is on its way! Look industries have a Blikk mixer which has only one long attachment screw which allows the mixer to be fitted to these smaller holes.
