Kartell K-VIT Plan 4 Hole Bath Shower Mixer – Chrome (TAP018PL)

Kartell K-VIT Plan 4 Hole Bath Shower Mixer – Chrome (TAP018PL)

The Kartell K-VIT Plan range is round-bodied and quietly contemporary. This is the 4 hole bath shower mixer — the most involved bath tap arrangement, and the one that needs the most checking before you buy.

What "4 hole" means

Instead of a single unit spanning two holes, the parts are separated across four holes in the bath rim: a spout, two handles either side, and a shower handset in its own holder. It gives a wide, deliberate look that suits a large bath — and it's what you need if your bath is already drilled that way.

Check your bath before ordering. A 4 hole mixer needs four holes at the right centres. It will not fit a standard two-hole bath, and this is not something you can adapt around — it's the single most common reason this type goes back.

If your bath has two holes, you want the standard Plan bath shower mixer instead, or the Plan bath filler if you do not need a handset.

Before you order

Uses 3/4" BSP connections. The waste is sold separately.

Suitable for low pressure systems, though a 4 hole set on gravity-fed plumbing will fill slowly and the handset will be a gentle spray. That's your pressure, not the tap.

Living with it

The ceramic disc cartridges with quarter-turn operation give full flow from a small movement, and are far less prone to dripping than washer taps. It's a substantial fitting at 2.88kg — the heaviest deck-mounted tap in the Plan range.

The rest of the Plan range

The range also includes a mono basin mixer with click waste, a hi-rise mono basin mixer for countertop bowls, a pair of basin pillar taps, a mono bidet mixer, a bath filler, a bath shower mixer, a pair of bath pillar taps and a freestanding bath shower mixer.
