    Contract Lever Mono Basin Mixer Tap with Waste | Chrome | Hipkin K96050

    Precision control in a compact, professional package. The Contract Lever Mono Basin Mixer Tap features dual levers for independent hot and cold water control — allowing precise temperature adjustment without the guesswork of a single-lever mixer. The chrome finish resists corrosion and maintains its polished appearance through intensive daily use, while the integrated waste outlet streamlines installation. Engineered for reliability in hotels, offices, healthcare facilities, accessible bathrooms, and busy residential settings. Key Features Dual lever handles — independent hot and cold control for precise temperature adjustment Mono configuration — single body, 1 tap hole required; minimal counter space Polished chrome finish — corrosion-resistant; maintains appearance through heavy daily use Integrated waste included — streamlines installation; no separate waste purchase required Commercial grade — robust lever mechanism withstands high-frequency operation Suitable for accessible bathrooms — dual lever operation aids users with limited dexterity Technical Specification Specification Detail SKU K96050 Brand Hipkin (Contract Range) Finish Polished Chrome Handle type Dual lever (independent hot & cold) Configuration Mono mixer Tap holes required 1 Waste included Yes — integrated waste outlet Mounting Deck mounted Suitable for Commercial, healthcare, accessible, and residential bathrooms Country of Origin United Kingdom Also Consider Hipkin Mono Basin Mixer Tap — single lever mono mixer, chrome Cross Head Basin Mono — crosshead handle mono mixer, chrome Aquasense Non-Concussive Basin Taps — WRAS approved self-closing pair Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between a dual lever and single lever mixer? A dual lever mixer has separate handles for hot and cold, allowing independent control of each — useful for precise temperature setting and for users who prefer to adjust hot and cold separately. A single lever mixer uses one handle that moves left/right for temperature and up/down for flow. Dual lever is often preferred in accessible bathrooms and commercial environments. Is the waste included? Yes — an integrated waste outlet is included with this tap, simplifying installation and removing the need to purchase a separate basin waste. How many tap holes does my basin need? This is a mono mixer tap requiring just 1 tap hole. Check your basin specification before ordering. Why is this suitable for accessible bathrooms? The dual lever design allows users to control hot and cold water independently, which can be easier for people with limited grip strength or dexterity than a single lever that requires precise directional movement. Can I order if the item shows as out of stock? Yes — we operate on a pre-order basis for out-of-stock items. Please contact us at customerservice@bubblegumbathrooms.co.uk or call 01603 381095 to confirm lead times before ordering.

    McAlpine AA10 Resealing Bottle Trap | 75mm Seal | Self-Ventilating | 1¼" Outlet

    2 in stock 1-3 Days

    The McAlpine AA10 is a self-ventilating resealing bottle trap — designed for basin and sink installations where secondary ventilation isn't practical. When syphonic conditions occur, the automatic hydraulic action draws air through the bypass columns to break the syphon; once conditions normalise, remaining water falls back to reseal the trap. No mechanical parts, no secondary vent pipe required. Key Features 75mm water seal — superior odour protection; deeper than the standard 50mm seal Self-ventilating / resealing design — eliminates the need for secondary ventilation; no moving parts to fail Adjustable inlet — fits all standard domestic basin and sink wastes 1¼" (32mm) multifit compression outlet — compatible with plastic, copper, and lead waste pipes Polypropylene construction — durable, corrosion-resistant, and chemical-resistant BS EN 274-1:2002 compliant — meets British and European performance standards Technical Specification Model AA10 Type Resealing bottle trap Water Seal 75mm Outlet Size 1¼" (32mm) Outlet Type Multifit compression Inlet Adjustable Material Polypropylene Pipe Compatibility Plastic, copper, lead Standard BS EN 274-1:2002 Weight 0.15kg Brand McAlpine You May Also Need Basin Wastes — Click-clack, pop-up, and slotted basin wastes Basins — Browse our full basin range All Wastes & Drainage — Bath wastes, shower wastes, and traps Frequently Asked Questions What is a resealing bottle trap? A resealing (or self-ventilating) trap is designed to prevent the water seal from being lost under syphonic conditions — where fast-flowing water in the waste pipe creates a vacuum that can suck the water out of a standard trap. The AA10 uses a hydraulic bypass mechanism to break the syphon and allow the trap to reseal automatically, without needing a separate anti-syphon valve or vent pipe. Do I need secondary ventilation with this trap? No — the self-ventilating design of the AA10 eliminates the need for secondary ventilation in most domestic installations. This makes it particularly useful in situations where running a vent pipe is impractical or impossible. Can I order if the item shows as out of stock? Yes — this product can be ordered even when showing as out of stock, and we'll fulfil your order as soon as stock is available. If you need a specific delivery timeframe, please contact us at customerservice@bubblegumbathrooms.co.uk before ordering.

    McAlpine Shallow Shower Trap — 90mm — 53mm Height — 25mm Seal — ST90CPB-S-53 The McAlpine ST90CPB-S-53 is an ultra-low profile shallow shower trap engineered for installations where sub-floor clearance is severely restricted. At just 53mm overall height, it is one of the slimmest 90mm shower traps available whilst maintaining a 34 litre/min flow rate and full BS EN 274 compliance. The polypropylene body is supplied with a removable 110mm chrome plated brass flange and all fittings for a complete installation. Ideal for timber floor constructions, retrofit projects, and first-floor bathrooms with minimal joist depth. ⚠️ Check clearance before ordering. This trap requires 53mm of clearance beneath the shower tray. Confirm your sub-floor depth before purchasing. Note: this trap has a 25mm water seal — if you require a deeper 50mm seal for better odour protection, see the McAlpine ST90CPB-S-70 (70mm height, 50mm seal). Key Features 53mm overall height — one of the slimmest 90mm shower traps available; suits severely restricted sub-floor depths 25mm water seal — meets minimum UK building regulation requirement for odour protection 34 litres/min flow rate — high drainage performance; prevents water pooling 90mm waste hole — fits standard shower trays with 90mm waste apertures 1½″ BSP thread — standard UK connection size Removable 110mm flange — chrome plated brass; easy cleaning and debris removal 1½″ solvent weld outlet — secure, leak-free connection to waste pipe Complete installation kit — 135° bend, BSP coupling nut, and 1½″ universal connector included BS EN 274 compliant — tested to BS EN 274-1:2002 and BS EN 274-2:2002 Technical Specification Brand: McAlpine Model: ST90CPB-S-53 SKU: ST90CPB-S-53 EAN: 5013512012530 Type: Shallow shower trap Waste hole diameter: 90mm Overall height: 53mm Under-tray clearance required: 53mm Water seal depth: 25mm Flow rate: 34 litres/min (tested under 15mm constant head, BS EN 274-2:2002) Thread size: 1½″ BSP Outlet: 1½″ solvent weld Flange diameter: 110mm (removable) Flange finish: Chrome plated brass Body material: Polypropylene Weight: 0.3kg Standards: BS EN 274-1:2002 & BS EN 274-2:2002 What’s Included McAlpine ST90CPB-S-53 shallow shower trap body 110mm chrome plated brass removable flange 135° bend BSP coupling nut 1½″ universal connector Installation instructions Suitable For Installations with severely restricted sub-floor clearance (as little as 53mm) Timber floor constructions and first-floor bathrooms with minimal joist depth Retrofit shower installations in existing bathrooms Wet room conversions with shallow floor build-ups Apartment and flat renovations with concrete floors Any installation requiring a 90mm waste hole trap with minimal height Also Available — McAlpine Shallow Shower Traps McAlpine ST90CPB-S-70 — 90mm, 70mm Height, 50mm Water Seal — deeper seal for better odour protection where 70mm clearance is available McAlpine ST90CB10-70 — 90mm, 70mm Height, 50mm Seal, Multifit Outlet — suits tray thickness 0–23mm; Multifit outlet for plastic, copper & lead pipe Coordinate Your Shower Installation Shower Trays — browse compatible low profile trays Shower Enclosures — complete your shower installation Shower Valves & Accessories — valves, heads, and arms Frequently Asked Questions What clearance does this trap require beneath the shower tray? The McAlpine ST90CPB-S-53 has an overall height of 53mm and requires 53mm of clearance beneath the shower tray. This makes it one of the slimmest 90mm shower traps available and suitable for installations where even the ST90CPB-S-70 (70mm) would not fit. Measure the available depth between the underside of your shower tray and the floor before ordering. What is the difference between the ST90CPB-S-53 and the ST90CPB-S-70? Both are McAlpine 90mm shallow shower traps with the same 34L/min flow rate and BS EN 274 compliance. The key differences are height and water seal depth. The ST90CPB-S-53 (this product) is 53mm high with a 25mm water seal — the slimmest option, suitable for the most restricted installations. The ST90CPB-S-70 is 70mm high with a superior 50mm water seal — better odour protection, recommended where 70mm clearance is available. If you have the space, the ST90CPB-S-70 is the preferred choice for its deeper seal. What size waste hole does this trap fit? This trap is designed for shower trays with a 90mm waste hole and a 1½″ BSP thread. This is the standard waste hole size for the majority of UK shower trays. Check your tray specification before ordering if you are unsure. What is the water seal depth? The water seal depth is 25mm — the minimum required by UK building regulations. The water seal is the depth of water retained in the trap that prevents sewer gases from entering the bathroom. If you have sufficient clearance (70mm), the ST90CPB-S-70 with its 50mm seal provides significantly better odour protection and is less likely to evaporate in infrequently used showers. What type of outlet connection does this trap use? The outlet is 1½″ solvent weld, connecting to standard 40mm (1½″) solvent weld waste pipe. A 135° bend, BSP coupling nut, and 1½″ universal connector are included to allow flexible pipe routing beneath the tray. Is this trap BS EN 274 compliant? Yes — the McAlpine ST90CPB-S-53 is fully compliant with BS EN 274-1:2002 (requirements) and BS EN 274-2:2002 (test methods), the relevant British and European standard for sanitary waste fittings. Can I order if the item shows as out of stock? Yes — this product is available to order even when stock shows as zero.

When the cartridge is depleted, it needs replacing to maintain continuous limescale protection. Signs your cartridge needs replacing: Cartridge appears significantly smaller or depleted Limescale starting to reappear on taps or appliances Approximately 40,000 litres of water has passed through (varies by household usage) Reduced water treatment effectiveness Key Features 2 cartridges included - Long-term supply for continued protection 40,000 litres per cartridge - Extended treatment capacity Food-grade polyphosphate - Safe for drinking water (WHO & FAO approved) Easy DIY replacement - Simple screw-in installation, no plumber needed Compatible with all Scale Defender units Maintains system efficiency - Keeps your heating system running optimally Protects entire home - Boiler, pipes, radiators, taps, and appliances Saves money - Prevents costly limescale damage and reduces energy bills Technical Specifications Brand: McAlpine Product Type: Scale Defender Replacement Cartridges Quantity: 2 cartridges Cartridge Capacity: Up to 40,000 litres each Total Capacity: 80,000 litres (both cartridges) Weight: 0.41kg (pack of 2) Material: Food-grade polyphosphate Standards: BS EN 1212, EC regulations EN 1212 Compatibility: All McAlpine Scale Defender units SKU: K33101 Safety: WHO & FAO approved for drinking water How to Replace Your Cartridge Replacing your Scale Defender cartridge is quick and easy: Turn off your water supply Unscrew the Scale Defender housing Remove the old cartridge Insert the new cartridge Screw the housing back together Turn the water supply back on Check for leaks No plumber required - most homeowners can replace the cartridge themselves in just a few minutes. Why Continue Using Scale Defender? Limescale affects your pipework, boiler, radiators, taps, appliances, and fittings and can lead to increased repairs or early replacement costs. A 1mm layer of limescale in your boiler can amount to an extra £150 to £200 in household bills every year according to the Carbon Trust. By maintaining your Scale Defender with regular cartridge replacements, you continue to: Reduce energy bills by maintaining boiler efficiency Extend the life of your boiler and heating system Protect washing machines, dishwashers, and other appliances Prevent costly limescale-related repairs Maintain better water flow and pressure Keep taps and fixtures looking cleaner What is Polyphosphate? Polyphosphate is a food-grade (consumable) product approved by the World Health Organization and Food and Agricultural Organization. It is widely used today in the food processing industry for cheese, meat, wine, and other products. McAlpine Scale Defender technology is a completely safe way to treat water in the home and is safe for human consumption according to WHO and FAO recommendations and in accordance with international norms for drinking water to EC regulations, standard EN 1212 and British Standard BS EN 1212.

As water passes through the unit, the polyphosphate creates a protective coating on pipes and heating elements, preventing limescale from forming and gradually removing existing scale deposits. This keeps your system running efficiently and protects all downstream appliances and fittings. What is Polyphosphate? Polyphosphate is a food-grade (consumable) product approved by the World Health Organization and Food and Agricultural Organization. It is widely used today in the food processing industry for cheese, meat, wine, and other products. McAlpine Scale Defender technology is a completely safe way to treat water in the home and is safe for human consumption according to WHO and FAO recommendations and in accordance with international norms for drinking water to EC regulations, standard EN 1212 and British Standard BS EN 1212. Easy to Fit McAlpine Scale Defender should be fitted by a qualified plumber, but at between 45–60 minutes to fit, it should only be an hour's call out. The kit includes both 15mm and 22mm connectors for compatibility with standard UK copper pipe installations. Thereafter, it is easy to replace the cartridges, and the system requires no ongoing maintenance. Perfect For Hard water areas with limescale problems Protecting boilers and heating systems Extending appliance lifespan (washing machines, dishwashers, kettles) Reducing energy bills and improving efficiency New build installations Renovation projects Homes with expensive boiler systems Properties with combination boilers Landlords protecting rental property investments Cost Savings By preventing limescale build-up, the Scale Defender helps you save money in multiple ways: Reduced energy bills (limescale reduces boiler efficiency) Extended boiler lifespan (prevents scale damage) Fewer appliance repairs and replacements Reduced plumbing maintenance costs Better water flow and pressure Investment protection: At a fraction of the cost of boiler repairs or replacement, the Scale Defender pays for itself through energy savings and extended equipment life.

    When you need to isolate a hot water supply quickly and confidently, the colour of the handle matters. The KeyPlumb 15mm Hot Water Butterfly Ball Valve features a red handle — the universally recognised identifier for hot water lines — so there’s never any ambiguity during installation, maintenance, or an emergency shut-off. A single quarter-turn is all it takes to go from fully open to fully closed. WRAS approved and BS EN331 compliant, this is a valve you can fit and forget. Available in packs of 1, 2, or 5 — ideal whether you’re doing a single tap replacement or fitting out a full bathroom or kitchen. Key Features WRAS Approved — meets UK Water Regulations Advisory Scheme requirements; suitable for use on mains water supplies BS EN331 Compliant — manufactured to the European standard for ball valves for gas and other fluids Red Handle — universally recognised hot water identification; eliminates confusion between hot and cold supplies Full Bore Design — unrestricted flow path maintains system pressure and flow rate Quarter-Turn Operation — fast, positive open/close action; handle position gives instant visual confirmation of valve state Nickel-Plated Brass Body — corrosion-resistant construction for long-term reliability in hot water systems 15mm Compression Fitting — compatible with standard UK 15mm copper and plastic pipe systems PN25 Rated — working pressure up to 25 bar; suitable for all standard domestic and commercial plumbing applications Temperature Range −10°C to +85°C — suitable for hot and cold water systems Available in Packs of 1, 2 or 5 — buy the quantity you need at a better per-unit price Technical Specification Size 15mm Connection Type Compression Valve Type Butterfly Ball Valve Bore Full Bore Operation Quarter-Turn Lever Handle Colour Red (Hot Water) Body Material Nickel-Plated Brass Working Pressure PN25 (25 bar) Temperature Range −10°C to +85°C Approvals WRAS Approved, BS EN331 SKU (x1) K55581 SKU (x2) K55581*2 SKU (x5) K55581*5 Brand KeyPlumb Complete Your Valve Range 15mm Cold Water Butterfly Ball Valve – Blue Handle — the matching cold water companion; WRAS approved, same full bore design KeyPlumb 15mm Full Bore Isolation Valve – Chrome — chrome-plated brass isolation valve, WRAS approved, for a smarter finish Straight Isolation Valve – Chrome 15mm (WRAS) — straight-pattern chrome isolation valve for tight spaces 15mm Chrome Isolation Valve – Flat Face Compression — flat face compression fitting with ½” BSP thread 15mm Chrome Lever Isolation Valve – Black Handle — CxC compression lever valve with contemporary black handle KeyPlumb 15mm Electrolytic Scale Reducer — inline scale reducer for 15mm pipework; protects valves and appliances from limescale Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the red and blue handle versions? The red handle version (this product) is for hot water lines; the blue handle version is for cold water lines. Both are identical in specification — the colour coding is a standard plumbing convention to prevent confusion during installation and maintenance. Can I order if the item shows as out of stock? Yes — we can fulfil this product even when stock shows as zero. Place your order as normal and we’ll confirm lead time with you. Is this valve suitable for mains pressure systems? Yes — the valve is rated to PN25 (25 bar working pressure), which is well above typical UK mains pressure. It is WRAS approved for use on mains water supplies. Does this work with plastic (push-fit) pipe as well as copper? This valve uses a standard 15mm compression fitting. It is compatible with 15mm copper pipe. For use with plastic pipe, ensure you use the appropriate insert/liner within the compression fitting. If in doubt, contact us for advice. Why buy a pack of 5? The pack of 5 offers a better per-unit price and is ideal for trade use, full bathroom or kitchen fits, or keeping spares on hand. The per-valve cost reduces significantly at the 5-pack quantity. Is professional installation required? While this valve is straightforward to install for a competent DIYer, we recommend professional installation to ensure compliance with building regulations and to maintain any relevant warranties on connected appliances.

Yes — we can fulfil this product even when stock shows as zero. Place your order as normal and we’ll confirm lead time with you. Is this valve suitable for mains pressure systems?

Does this work with plastic pipe as well as copper? This valve uses a standard 15mm compression fitting, compatible with 15mm copper pipe. For plastic pipe, use the appropriate insert/liner within the compression fitting to prevent the olive from crushing the pipe wall. Can this valve be used on a hot water supply? Technically yes — the temperature rating of −10°C to +85°C covers most domestic hot water temperatures. However, for hot water lines we recommend the red handle version to maintain correct colour coding and avoid confusion. Why buy a pack of 5? The pack of 5 offers a better per-unit price and is ideal for trade use, full bathroom or kitchen fits, or keeping spares on hand. The saving per valve increases significantly at the 5-pack quantity.
