Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tall basin mixer tap?
A tall basin mixer tap has an elevated spout height compared to a standard basin mixer. This extra height is necessary for countertop basins and vessel sinks, which sit above the worktop surface — a standard-height tap would not provide enough clearance for comfortable hand washing.
How do I know if I need a tall or standard basin mixer?
If your basin is a countertop or vessel basin (sitting on top of the worktop), you need a tall tap. If your basin is a standard inset basin (set into the worktop or on a pedestal), you need a standard-height tap. See the Abode Kite Standard Basin Mixer.
What is the minimum water pressure required?
The Abode Kite Tall Basin Mixer requires a minimum of 1.0 bar. It is designed for mains pressure and pressurised systems and is not suitable for gravity-fed or low-pressure systems.
Is this tap suitable for a combi boiler?
Yes — compatible with combination boilers and mains pressure systems. Requires a minimum of 1.0 bar, which is standard for combi boiler installations.
Where is this tap designed and made?
Designed in Britain and manufactured in Italy, combining British design heritage with Italian manufacturing precision.
How do I extend the guarantee to 15 years?
The tap comes with a 2-year standard guarantee. Register your product with Abode after purchase to extend to 15 years. Details are included in the guarantee documentation supplied with the tap.
