Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wall mounted tap?
A wall mounted tap is fixed directly to the wall rather than to the basin or bath deck. The hot and cold water pipes are concealed within the wall, with only the tap body and spout visible. This creates a clean, minimalist look with no taps on the basin or bath surround, making it easier to clean and giving a more spacious feel. Wall mounted taps are particularly popular with freestanding baths and wall-hung basins.
Can this tap be used for both a basin and a bath?
Yes — the Kite wall mounted mixer is designed for dual application and can be used with both basins and baths. The spout reach and height should be checked against your specific basin or bath dimensions to ensure comfortable use. If you're unsure, call us on 01603 381095.
What is the minimum water pressure required?
The Abode Kite wall mounted mixer operates from a minimum of 0.75 bar, making it suitable for gravity-fed systems, combi boilers, and mains pressure supplies. This is lower than the deck-mounted Kite basin mixer (1.0 bar) but higher than the bath filler with panel valves (0.2 bar).
Do I need a plumber to install a wall mounted tap?
Yes — professional installation is strongly recommended for wall mounted taps. The hot and cold supply pipes must be positioned within the wall at the correct centres before tiling, as they cannot be adjusted afterwards. Incorrect pipe positioning is the most common installation error with wall mounted taps.
What finishes are available?
The Kite wall mounted mixer is available in polished chrome (£189) and antique brass (£239). Select your preferred finish from the dropdown above.
Where is this tap designed and made?
Designed in Britain and manufactured in Italy, combining British design heritage with Italian manufacturing precision and craftsmanship.
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.
Can I order if the item shows as out of stock?
Yes — available to order even when stock shows zero. Contact us on 01603 381095 to confirm lead time.
