This is the \u003cstrong\u003ebath shower mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e: a deck-mounted bath tap with a diverter and a shower handset on a flexible hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt fills the bath like a normal bath filler, and the diverter sends water to the handset instead — so you can shower over the bath, rinse hair, or clean the bath itself without a separate shower installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you already have a separate shower and only need to fill the bath, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-curve-bath-filler-chrome-tap282cu\"\u003eCurve bath filler\u003c\/a\u003e costs less and keeps the line of the spout clean — which is rather the point of this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBath taps use \u003cstrong\u003e3\/4\" BSP connections\u003c\/strong\u003e, larger than the 1\/2\" on basin taps, so check your existing tails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe waste is sold separately\u003c\/strong\u003e — unlike the Curve basin mixers, which include a clicker waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for \u003cstrong\u003elow pressure systems\u003c\/strong\u003e. Being straight: on gravity-fed plumbing the handset will be a gentle spray rather than a powerful shower. That's your water pressure, not the tap. If you want a proper shower over the bath on low pressure, you need a pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eceramic disc cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e with quarter-turn operation is far less prone to dripping than a washer tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAlso in matt black\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same design is made in matt black as \u003cstrong\u003eCurve Nero\u003c\/strong\u003e. A bath shower mixer sits in the splash zone, which is where black is least forgiving — it shows limescale and water spotting far more than chrome, and wants wiping dry after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the Curve range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatch it with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-curve-mono-basin-mixer-chrome-tap280cu\"\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-curve-mini-mono-basin-mixer-chrome-tap283cu\"\u003emini version\u003c\/a\u003e for a smaller basin.
