Kartell describe it as a collection that \"gives a totally chic finishing touch to a trendy interior\", and the open spout is what people notice — it is the whole point of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003e4 hole bath shower mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same set of parts as a bath shower mixer, but split into four separate pieces that sit across the rim of the bath: a hot lever, a cold lever, the open spout, and the shower handset in its own upright holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat four holes means\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the thing to get right before you order. A four hole set needs \u003cstrong\u003efour separate holes drilled in the bath rim or in the deck around it\u003c\/strong\u003e, spaced to suit. Most standard baths come drilled for two, so this usually means a bath sold undrilled, a bath you are drilling yourself, or a tiled or solid-surface deck surround.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is worth the trouble for the look — the components sit low and spread out rather than clustered in the middle, which suits a wide bath and a deck surround particularly well. But it is not a straight swap for an existing two hole bath tap, and the spacing wants planning before anything is drilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKartell rate this tap for pressures \u003cstrong\u003ebetween 1 and 5 bar\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 1 bar minimum is the point to watch: a gravity-fed tank and cylinder will rarely reach it without a pump, so this one is for mains, combi or unvented systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat 1 bar minimum matters more here than on most taps, because the handset is fed through a longer run of pipework and an extra outlet. On a gravity-fed system this one will disappoint without 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 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\u003eChrome is the easiest finish to live with and the easiest to spoil. A wipe with a soft damp cloth is all it needs, though it shows water spots and fingerprints more readily than a brushed finish, so in a hard water area it pays to dry it off. What it will not tolerate is abrasives: cream cleaners, scouring pads and strong limescale removers cut through the plating, and once chrome has gone dull and cloudy it cannot be brought back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your bath is drilled for two holes, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap003flj\"\u003eFlair bath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e does the same job in a single deck-mounted body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the Flair range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range also includes a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap001flj\"\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e with click waste, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-hi-rise-mono-basin-mixer-chrome-tap005flj\"\u003ehi-rise mono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e for countertop bowls, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-wall-mounted-basin-mixer-chrome-tap121fl\"\u003ewall mounted basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-mono-bidet-mixer-chrome-tap002fl\"\u003emono bidet mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-bath-filler-chrome-tap004flj\"\u003ebath filler\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap003flj\"\u003ebath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-freestanding-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap120fl\"\u003efreestanding bath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode: TAP006FLJ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic disc cartridges, quarter turn operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour piece set — hot lever, cold lever, spout and handset holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeck mounted, four tap holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen waterfall spout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShower handset and hose included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4\" BSP connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for pressures between 1 and 5 bar\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 5055681461065\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kartell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55211793350982,"sku":"TAP006FLJ","price":156.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/7273\/6838\/files\/TAP006FL-2_15f7fcd6-ab4a-4abc-adf8-35a536da097f.jpg?v=1759762745","url":"https:\/\/www.keywestbathrooms.co.uk\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-4-hole-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap006flj","provider":"Key West Bathrooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
