Frequently Asked Questions
What are panel valves?
Panel valves are separate hot and cold tap controls mounted on the bath deck alongside the filler spout. Unlike a monobloc mixer where both controls are combined in a single unit, panel valves provide individual hot and cold handles — giving a traditional, period-authentic look and precise temperature control. They are a hallmark of classic British bathroom design.
What is the minimum water pressure required?
The Abode Kite bath filler operates from a minimum of 0.2 bar, making it suitable for gravity-fed systems, low-pressure supplies, and period properties.
What finishes are available?
Chrome (£215) and Antique Brass (£289). Select your preferred finish from the dropdown above.
How many tap holes does my bath need?
This bath filler requires two tap holes in the bath deck — one for the hot panel valve and one for the cold panel valve. Ensure your bath has two pre-drilled tap holes before ordering.
Is this tap suitable for a freestanding bath?
Yes — provided your freestanding bath has two deck-mounted tap holes. Ensure the tap hole centres match the valve fixing centres before ordering. If you’re unsure, call us on 01603 381095.
Where is this tap designed and made?
The Kite collection is designed in Britain and manufactured in Italy, combining British design heritage with Italian manufacturing precision.
How do I extend the guarantee to 15 years?
