It costs a little more and the two are otherwise the same tap — so if there is any chance you'll want to rinse hair or clean the bath with a handset, it is worth the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBath fillers use \u003cstrong\u003e3\/4\" BSP connections\u003c\/strong\u003e — larger than the 1\/2\" on basin taps — because a bath needs to fill in reasonable time.

Water leaves as a wide, shallow sheet, which looks striking and is the reason people choose it — but it also means a shorter, flatter stream that lands closer to the tap. Check your basin has enough depth and that the spout reaches far enough over the bowl, because a waterfall spout on a shallow basin splashes more than a conventional one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe open channel is also visible, so it shows limescale sooner than a closed spout would. In a hard water area, expect to wipe it more often.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKartell rate this tap \u003cstrong\u003esuitable for low water pressure systems\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn gravity-fed plumbing any bath tap fills slowly. That's the system, not the tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eceramic disc cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolished chrome is the easiest finish to live with — it hides water spotting better than matt black and needs nothing more than a wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, and don't leave limescale remover to soak, which will dull the plating over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same tap is made in matt black as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-nero-curve-bath-filler-matt-black-tap292cn\"\u003eNero Curve bath filler\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode: TAP282CU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished chrome, gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen waterfall spout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic disc cartridges, quarter turn operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeck mounted, two tap holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4\" BSP connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for low water pressure systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 1.68kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixings supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaste sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime guarantee (1 year on moving parts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarcode 5055681447700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kartelluk-my.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/g\/personal\/erp_kartelluk_onmicrosoft_com\/EVLkwnzRwypCvORs6iordEABut_bJQC7ScxQsxYEKleJxg?download=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDownload the technical data sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kartell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55211126554950,"sku":"TAP282CU","price":96.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/7273\/6838\/files\/TAP282CU.jpg?v=1759760437","url":"https:\/\/www.keywestbathrooms.co.uk\/products\/kartell-k-vit-curve-bath-filler-chrome-tap282cu","provider":"Key West Bathrooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
