Kartell K-VIT Nero Round Mono Basin Mixer with Click Waste – Matt Black (TAP411NR)

Kartell K-VIT Nero Round Mono Basin Mixer with Click Waste – Matt Black (TAP411NR)

The Kartell K-VIT Nero Round range is slim, round and minimal in matt black — cylindrical bodies, thin stick levers and no ornamentation.

This is the mono basin mixer, supplied complete with a click waste, which is worth noting because most basin mixers don't include one.

Water pressure

Kartell rate this tap suitable for low water pressure systems — it will run from as little as 0.2 bar. That means it works on a gravity-fed tank and cylinder as well as on mains, combi or unvented pressure.

Living with it

The ceramic disc cartridge with quarter-turn operation gives full flow from a small movement of the lever, and is far less prone to dripping than a washer tap.

Matt black is a powder-coated finish rather than plating. It looks superb against a white basin, but it is less forgiving than chrome: limescale and toothpaste splashes show as pale marks on a dark surface, so it wants wiping down more often. Never use an abrasive cream or a limescale remover on it — those strip the coating rather than the deposit.

The rest of the Nero Round range

There is a hi-rise version for countertop bowls, a wall mounted basin mixer, a bath filler, a bath shower mixer, a wall mounted bath spout and a freestanding bath shower mixer.

The same tap in other finishes

Nero Round is the matt black version of a design Kartell also make in polished chrome as Kore and in brushed brass as Ottone. Same shapes, same mechanism — the finish is the only difference.

The chrome equivalent is the Kore mono basin mixer and the brushed brass one is the Ottone mono basin mixer.
