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. If the rest of the room is doing the talking, these are the taps that will not argue with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003emini mono basin mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e, the smallest tap in the range, and it comes \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete with a matching chrome click 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 the spout than a standard one. It is meant for a \u003cstrong\u003ecloakroom basin, a compact vanity unit, or any basin where a full-size tap looks oversized\u003c\/strong\u003e — typically anything under about 450mm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is reach. A shorter spout lands water closer to the back of the bowl, so measure from the middle of your tap hole to the middle of the basin before deciding. On a full-size basin the mini will look lost and leave water running down the back; there the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-visage-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap270vij\"\u003estandard Visage mono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e is the better proportion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e0.69kg\u003c\/strong\u003e it is a light tap, which is what you would expect at this size — the mechanism inside is the same ceramic disc cartridge used across the range.\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 than usual on a cloakroom tap: a downstairs loo is often the furthest point from the hot cylinder and the worst-served outlet 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 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-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap270vij\"\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e with click waste, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-visage-bath-filler-chrome-tap272vij\"\u003ebath filler\u003c\/a\u003e and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-visage-bath-shower-mixer-chrome-tap273vij\"\u003ebath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode: TAP271VIJ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished chrome, gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact rounded 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\u003eMatching chrome click 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 0.69kg\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 5055681449858\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\/Ec14b8EsuG5Gk4I-8USdvKwBR-tBphcfPRiWuDezzyHNmQ?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":55211132256582,"sku":"TAP271VIJ","price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/7273\/6838\/files\/TAP271VIJ.jpg?v=1759760478","url":"https:\/\/www.keywestbathrooms.co.uk\/products\/kartell-k-vit-visage-mini-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-chrome-tap271vij","provider":"Key West Bathrooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
