Kartell call it \"a brassware range with grace\", and it is the one to pick for a period property, a cottage, or a bathroom where you want warmth rather than minimalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003ebath shower mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e: a deck-mounted bath tap with a diverter and a traditional shower handset on a flexible hose, cradled on a curved arm above the spout.\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 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-klassique-bath-filler-chrome-tap107kl\"\u003eKlassique bath filler\u003c\/a\u003e costs less and looks tidier — which matters on a traditional tap, where a modern hose can undercut the period feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIt's a substantial piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e4.02kg\u003c\/strong\u003e this is the heaviest tap in the Kartell brassware range — heavier than most freestanding mixers. That's solid brass rather than thin castings, and it's worth knowing your bath rim needs to take it. On a thin acrylic bath without a reinforcing plate, check the fixing arrangement before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003etwo tap hole\u003c\/strong\u003e deck-mounted tap, the standard arrangement on most baths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBath taps use \u003cstrong\u003e3\/4\" BSP connections\u003c\/strong\u003e, larger than the 1\/2\" on basin taps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe waste is sold separately.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater pressure\u003c\/h3\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 — and the older properties this style suits are often the ones affected. If you want a proper shower over the bath, you need a pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTraditional look, modern mechanism\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thing that makes Klassique worth having over genuinely old taps: \u003cstrong\u003eceramic disc cartridges with quarter-turn operation\u003c\/strong\u003e. Traditional crosshead taps were the classic dripper, needing a new washer every couple of years.
