Kartell describe it as \"a refined look at an affordable price\", and the range is unusually complete: nine pieces, including four different ways of getting water into a bath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003ehi-rise mono basin mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same round body on a tall column, with the spout raised well clear of the basin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen you need a hi-rise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard basin mixer sits low, which is fine for a basin with the tap hole in the rim. But if you have a \u003cstrong\u003ecountertop or vessel basin\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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. A taller spout also means a longer drop, so splashing is more likely with a shallow bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your basin has a rim tap hole rather than being a countertop bowl, the standard \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-plan-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap010pl\"\u003ePlan mono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e is the one you want — and unlike this one it includes a click waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKartell rate this tap for pressures \u003cstrong\u003ebetween 0.5 and 10 bar\u003c\/strong\u003e. That covers mains, combi and unvented systems comfortably. A gravity-fed tank and cylinder can reach 0.5 bar where there is enough height between the cold tank and the tap, but in a bungalow, or where the tank sits close above the bathroom, it often will not — worth checking before you order, or fitting a pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorth noting: Kartell's website describes this tap as suitable for low water pressure, but the 2026 brochure rates it 0.5–10 bar. We have gone with the brochure, which is the more cautious of the two and matches every other hi-rise in the catalogue.\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\u003ePolished chrome on a plain round body needs nothing more than a wipe with a soft cloth — there are no corners for limescale to collect in. Avoid abrasive cleaners and don't leave limescale remover to soak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the Plan range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range also includes a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-plan-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap010pl\"\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e with click waste, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-plan-basin-pillar-taps-chrome-tap015pl\"\u003epair of basin pillar taps\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-plan-mono-bidet-mixer-chrome-tap011pl\"\u003emono bidet mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-plan-bath-filler-chrome-tap013pl\"\u003ebath filler\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-plan-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap012pl\"\u003ebath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-plan-bath-pillar-taps-chrome-tap016pl\"\u003epair of bath pillar taps\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-plan-4-hole-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap018pl\"\u003e4 hole bath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-plan-freestanding-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap017pl\"\u003efreestanding bath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode: TAP014PL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished chrome, gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound body, raised for countertop and vessel basins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic disc cartridge, quarter turn operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle lever, deck mounted, one tap hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2\" BSP flexi hose connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for pressures between 0.5 and 10 bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 1.66kg\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 5060168228529\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\/EQzeqrlZc4dHnLjQXZNBjWABH9WjwtdiPwCvLKR-epg7Aw?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":57472644874566,"sku":"TAP014PL","price":64.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/7273\/6838\/files\/TAP014PL.jpg?v=1790603203","url":"https:\/\/www.keywestbathrooms.co.uk\/products\/kartell-k-vit-plan-hi-rise-mono-basin-mixer-chrome-tap014pl","provider":"Key West Bathrooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
