Kartell describe it as \"modest yet stylish\", which is fair: it is the range for a bathroom where you want the taps to sit quietly rather than draw the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003emini mono basin mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it comes \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete with a clicker waste\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen to choose the mini\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mini basin mixer is shorter in the body and spout than a standard one. It suits a \u003cstrong\u003ecloakroom basin, a compact vanity unit, or any basin where a full-size tap looks oversized\u003c\/strong\u003e — which is exactly what Kartell have in mind when they describe it as ideal for small cloakroom spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e0.67kg\u003c\/strong\u003e this is one of the smallest taps in the Kartell brassware catalogue. On a small cloakroom basin that's exactly right; on anything approaching full size it will look lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is reach: a shorter spout lands water closer to the back of the bowl. As a rule, if the basin is under about 450mm wide the mini is the better proportion; above that, use the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-verve-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap260ve\"\u003estandard Verve mono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKartell rate this tap \u003cstrong\u003esuitable for low water pressure systems\u003c\/strong\u003e — it will run from as little as 0.2 bar. That means it works on a gravity-fed tank and cylinder as well as on mains, combi or unvented pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat matters more here than on most taps: a cloakroom is often the furthest point from the hot cylinder and the worst-served tap in the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eceramic disc cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e with quarter-turn operation is smooth and far less prone to dripping than a washer tap. A plain round chrome body is the easiest thing in a bathroom to keep clean — no corners for limescale to collect in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVerve or Mirage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorth addressing, because these two ranges are very close. Both are slim round chrome single-lever designs and the weights are identical. The difference is the shape of the spout and the lever, which is a matter of taste rather than function — pick on looks, not on quality; there is nothing between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mini is identical in weight to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-mirage-mini-mono-basin-mixer-chrome-tap251mi\"\u003eMirage mini\u003c\/a\u003e at 0.67kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode: TAP261VE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished chrome, gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact slim round body, single lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic disc cartridge, quarter turn operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeck mounted, one tap hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClicker waste included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2\" BSP flexi hose connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for low water pressure systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 0.67kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixings supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime guarantee (1 year on moving parts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarcode 5055681438296\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\/EVUqz3BzzhBButhnEl1vqLIBqrLpYZAs86_v-jZEkTu-_A?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":55211131633990,"sku":"TAP261VE","price":61.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/7273\/6838\/files\/TAP261VE.jpg?v=1759760473","url":"https:\/\/www.keywestbathrooms.co.uk\/products\/kartell-k-vit-verve-mini-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap261ve","provider":"Key West Bathrooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
