Kartell K-VIT Nero Round Wall Mounted Bath Spout – Matt Black (TAP416NR)

Kartell K-VIT Nero Round Wall Mounted Bath Spout – Matt Black (TAP416NR)

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 wall mounted bath spout — a plain outlet that fixes to the wall above the bath and delivers water into it.

It's a spout, not a tap

Worth being clear, because this is the single most common mistake with this product: it has no handles and no valve. It is the outlet only. The water is controlled elsewhere — normally by a concealed thermostatic or manual valve set into the wall, which feeds the spout and often a shower head as well. Kartell's own listing flags this as "valve not included".

If you want a wall-mounted tap you can turn on and off at the bath, this isn't it. You need a spout plus a valve, and they are bought separately.

Before you order

The pipework runs inside the wall, so the position and height need fixing before boarding and tiling. Set it high enough to clear the bath rim comfortably and far enough in that water lands well inside the bath — a spout set too close to the edge will run down the outside.

The spout is 222mm long and projects 214mm from the finished wall face, which helps land water centrally. A stud wall needs noggins to fix into; a solid wall needs chasing.

Water pressure

Kartell don't give this spout a pressure rating, and it doesn't need one — it has no valve in it. What governs the flow is the shower or bath valve you pair it with, so check the rating on that instead.

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.

Pair it with the Nero Round wall mounted basin mixer for a consistent look across basin and bath.

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 wall mounted bath spout and the brushed brass one is the Ottone wall mounted bath spout.
