Kartell describe it as \"effortlessly elegant with an air of serenity\", and it is the least assertive shape in the brassware catalogue: a classic finishing touch rather than a statement piece.

That means it works on a gravity-fed tank and cylinder as well as on mains, combi or unvented pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing straight about what that means here: on gravity-fed plumbing the handset will be a gentle spray rather than a powerful shower. That is your water pressure, not the tap. If you want a proper shower over the bath on low pressure, you need a pump.\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 rounded body is about the easiest thing in a bathroom to keep clean — there are no corners for limescale to lodge in, and a wipe with a soft damp cloth is all it needs. What it will not take is abrasives: cream cleaners, scouring pads and strong limescale removers cut through the plating, and dull chrome cannot be brought back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the Visage range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range also includes a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-visage-mini-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap271vij\"\u003emini mono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e with click waste, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-visage-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap270vij\"\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e with click waste and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-visage-bath-filler-chrome-tap272vij\"\u003ebath filler\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode: TAP273VIJ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished chrome, gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRounded body, two lever handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic disc cartridges, quarter turn operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated diverter, shower handset and hose included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeck mounted, two tap holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4\" BSP connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for low water pressure systems\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 5055681449872\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kartell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55211132092742,"sku":"TAP273VIJ","price":102.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/7273\/6838\/files\/TAP273VIJ.jpg?v=1759760476","url":"https:\/\/www.keywestbathrooms.co.uk\/products\/kartell-k-vit-visage-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap273vij","provider":"Key West Bathrooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
