Kartell call it \"a striking and bold choice… a distinctive highlight to your bathroom\", and that is a fair description — this is deliberately a feature rather than a quiet fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003ebath filler\u003c\/strong\u003e: a deck-mounted tap that sits on the rim of the bath and fills it, with no shower function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBath filler or bath shower mixer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ebath filler\u003c\/strong\u003e (this one) just fills the bath.

Check your existing tails, as swapping between sizes needs adaptors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe waste is sold separately.\u003c\/strong\u003e A bath needs a waste and overflow set, which isn't included — and on a black bath tap you want a matching black one, not the chrome that usually comes as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the waterfall spout\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe open spout is the point of this range, and it behaves differently from a closed one. Water leaves as a wide, shallow sheet, which looks striking and is the reason people choose it — but it is 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. The open channel is also visible, so it shows limescale sooner than a closed spout would.\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\u003eMatt 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, and no amount of polishing brings it back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the Fiuto Nero range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside this there is a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-fiuto-nero-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-matt-black-tap007fij\"\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-fiuto-nero-hi-rise-mono-basin-mixer-matt-black-tap119fij\"\u003ehi-rise version\u003c\/a\u003e for countertop bowls, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-fiuto-nero-wall-mounted-basin-mixer-matt-black-tap123fi\"\u003ewall mounted basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-fiuto-nero-bath-filler-matt-black-tap009fij\"\u003ebath filler\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-fiuto-nero-bath-shower-mixer-matt-black-tap008fij\"\u003ebath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-fiuto-nero-freestanding-bath-shower-mixer-matt-black-tap122fi\"\u003efreestanding bath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode: TAP009FIJ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatt black 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\u003eLength 229mm, weight 2.4kg\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 5055681461041\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\/EUo0gKEv_4NAm2-bONa02tMB7IrACTDEsxRyN_QEC8Kp4g?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":57455333605702,"sku":"TAP009FIJ","price":124.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/7273\/6838\/files\/TAP009FIJ_Fiuto_Nero_Bath_Filler.png?v=1790340050","url":"https:\/\/www.keywestbathrooms.co.uk\/products\/kartell-k-vit-fiuto-nero-bath-filler-matt-black-tap009fij","provider":"Key West Bathrooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
