Frequently Asked Questions
Are these taps sold as a pair?
Yes — the Abode Sentiment Basin Pillar Taps are sold as a pair, including both the hot and cold taps with ceramic inserts, mounting hardware, and fixings.
What is the minimum water pressure required?
These pillar taps operate from a minimum of 0.1 bar — ideal for gravity-fed systems, loft conversions, upper-floor bathrooms, and period properties. Also fully compatible with combination boilers and mains pressure systems.
What is the difference between pillar taps and a basin mixer?
Pillar taps are a traditional two-tap configuration with separate hot and cold taps, each requiring its own tap hole. A basin mixer combines hot and cold through a single spout and typically requires one tap hole. If you prefer a single-hole installation, see the Abode Sentiment Basin Mixer Tap.
How many tap holes does my basin need?
These pillar taps require two tap holes in the basin. If your basin has only one tap hole, you will need the Sentiment Basin Mixer instead.
