3 Hole Taps
Taps
Tap Design
Check the number and spacing of the holes on the basin or bath before choosing a tap set with separate controls. A mono mixer uses one mounting hole, while separate taps or a multi-hole set need the matching hole layout. Wall-mounted styles leave the rim clear. Think about who will use the tap and how much room there is around the controls.
Fit & Water Pressure
Compare the distance from the tap mounting point to the centre of the bowl. Check the spout height against the rim and the room needed behind the tap for a lever to move. Compare the stated pressure range with your water system. Check the available room beneath the fitting for the connections.
Finishes & Fittings
Compare finishes in the context of the room, particularly if the tap will sit next to a visible waste or shower fitting. The same finish name can look different between ranges. Check whether the model comes with the waste, tail pipes or other fittings you need. Look at whether the waste and tap finish come from the same manufacturer’s range.
