Kartell K-VIT Nero Curve Bath Filler Matt Black (TAP292CN)

The Kartell K-VIT Curve Nero range is the matt black version of Curve — a bold curved spout arcing out of a clean, slightly angular body. This is the bath filler: a deck-mounted tap that sits on the rim of the bath and fills it, with no shower function.

Bath filler or bath shower mixer?

A bath filler (this one) just fills the bath. Choose it where you have a separate shower, or no shower over the bath at all — and on a black tap the clean arc of the spout is very much the point, so a coiled hose beside it does the look no favours.

A bath shower mixer adds a diverter and handset if you need to shower over the bath.

Before you order

Bath fillers use 3/4" BSP connections — larger than the 1/2" on basin taps — because a bath needs to fill in reasonable time. Check your existing tails, as swapping between sizes needs adaptors.

The waste is sold separately, and on a black bath tap you'll want a matching matt black bath waste and overflow rather than the chrome default. Kartell make one. Note the Curve Nero basin mixers both include a black waste; the bath taps don't.

Suitable for low pressure systems, though on gravity-fed plumbing any bath tap fills slowly. That's the system, not the tap.

Living with matt black

Matt black shows limescale and water spotting more than chrome, and a bath tap sits in the splash zone — the least forgiving place for the finish. Wipe it dry after use to keep it looking sharp.

Never use abrasive cleaners or limescale remover. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth only.

Matching the rest of the room

Pairs naturally with Kartell's black Nero accessories and black-framed bath screens. The same design in chrome is the Curve bath filler.
