Kartell K-VIT Kore Hi-Rise Mono Basin Mixer – Chrome (TAP404KO)

The Kartell K-VIT Kore range is a clean, round, minimal collection of brassware. This is the hi-rise mono basin mixer in polished chrome — a taller version of the standard basin mixer, with the spout raised well clear of the basin.

When you need a hi-rise

A standard basin mixer sits low, which is fine for a basin with the tap hole in the rim. But if you have a countertop or vessel basin — a bowl sitting on top of a worktop or vanity unit — a standard tap will be too short, and the spout will sit at or below the rim of the bowl.

A hi-rise gives you the height to get your hands underneath comfortably. Measure the height of your bowl from the worktop before choosing, and check the spout will reach far enough over to land water near the middle of the bowl rather than the edge.

Worth knowing: a taller spout means a longer drop for the water, so splashing is more likely with a shallow bowl.

Living with it

The ceramic disc cartridge with quarter-turn operation gives full flow from a small movement and is far less prone to dripping than a washer tap.

Suitable for low pressure systems, so it works on gravity-fed plumbing as well as mains pressure.

Matching the rest of the room

The identical design is made in matt black as Nero Round and brushed brass as Ottone. If your basin has a rim tap hole rather than being a countertop bowl, the standard Kore mono basin mixer is the one you want.
