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\u003ebath shower mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e: a deck-mounted bath tap with the open spout, two lever handles, 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-flair-bath-filler-chrome-tap004flj\"\u003eFlair bath filler\u003c\/a\u003e costs less and looks tidier without the hose.\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 \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap001flj\"\u003eFlair basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, which includes a click waste.\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\u003eBeing straight about what that means here: on gravity-fed plumbing the handset will be a gentle spray rather than a powerful shower. That is 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 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\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-4-hole-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap006flj\"\u003e4 hole bath 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: TAP003FLJ\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\u003eIntegrated diverter, shower handset and hose included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeck mounted, two tap holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen waterfall spout\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 2.54kg\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 5055681449728\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\/Edf2J3kPk1FGvnrdenm-HFQBOyEgAaMlKFYBYrWBgsBFLw?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":55211130749254,"sku":"TAP003FLJ","price":118.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/7273\/6838\/files\/TAP003FLJ.jpg?v=1759760469","url":"https:\/\/www.keywestbathrooms.co.uk\/products\/kartell-k-vit-flair-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap003flj","provider":"Key West Bathrooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
