Kartell K-VIT Kore Wall Mounted Basin Mixer – Chrome (TAP405KO)

The Kartell K-VIT Kore range is a clean, round, minimal collection of brassware. This is the wall mounted basin mixer in polished chrome — the tap fixes to the wall above the basin rather than sitting on it.

Why wall mounted, and what it demands

Wall mounting leaves the basin or worktop completely clear, which looks striking and makes the surface far easier to wipe down. It suits a countertop bowl or a basin with no tap hole.

The trade-off is that all the plumbing has to be buried in the wall, and the concealed valve body has to be set at the right depth and height before the wall is boarded and tiled. That means deciding on this tap early — it is not a swap you can make later without opening up the wall.

The spout projects 213mm from the wall. Set the height so it clears the rim of your basin with room to get your hands under, and check that projection lands water in the middle of the bowl rather than the back edge — measure your basin before fixing the valve position.

A stud wall needs noggins to fix the valve to. A solid wall needs chasing out. Neither is difficult, but both need doing before the finish goes on.

Living with it

The ceramic disc cartridge with quarter-turn operation is smooth and far less prone to dripping than a washer tap.

Suitable for low pressure systems.

Matching the rest of the room

The identical design is made in matt black as Nero Round and brushed brass as Ottone. Pair it with the Kore wall mounted bath spout for a consistent look across basin and bath.
