Kartell call it “effortless sophistication” with “timeless character”, and that is the right idea: it is not a reproduction period tap, but it is not a hard-edged contemporary one either. It sits comfortably in a modern bathroom and equally well in an older house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003ebath shower mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e: a deck-mounted bath tap with 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 the water to the handset instead — so you can shower over the bath, rinse hair, or clean the bath down without a separate shower installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you already have a shower elsewhere and only need to fill the bath, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-times-bath-filler-chrome-tap083ti\"\u003eTimes bath filler\u003c\/a\u003e costs less and looks tidier without the hose.\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 usual arrangement on a bath.\u003c\/p\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 A bath needs a waste and overflow set, which is not included here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for \u003cstrong\u003elow pressure systems\u003c\/strong\u003e. Being straight about what that means: the tap works on gravity-fed plumbing, but the handset will be a gentle spray rather than a powerful shower. That is your water pressure, not the tap. For a proper shower over the bath you need a pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eceramic disc cartridges\u003c\/strong\u003e with quarter-turn operation give full flow from a small movement of the handle, and are far less likely to drip than traditional washer taps.
