{"product_id":"kartell-times-mono-basin-mixer-tap080ti","title":"Kartell K-VIT Times Mono Basin Mixer Chrome (TAP080TI)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kartell K-VIT \u003cstrong\u003eTimes\u003c\/strong\u003e range is traditional in spirit but not fussy — a tall swan-neck spout with two crosshead handles, marked with red and blue rings so it's obvious which is which. It reads more like a period kitchen tap than a modern mixer, which is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e in polished chrome, with a \u003cstrong\u003eswivel spout\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Times suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's the range to pick for a \u003cstrong\u003etraditional or transitional bathroom\u003c\/strong\u003e — a Victorian terrace, a cottage, or a modern room where you want warmth rather than minimalism. Crosshead handles and a high spout look right against a pedestal basin or a roll-top bath in a way that a squared-off single-lever tap doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe practical difference from a single-lever mixer: two handles means you set hot and cold separately, which is slower but gives finer control. Some people much prefer it; others find it fiddly with soapy hands. Worth knowing which camp you're in before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe swivel spout\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one is unusual for a basin tap — \u003cstrong\u003ethe spout swivels\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you can move it aside to fill a jug or clean the bowl. Handy on a larger basin, though it does mean the spout can be knocked out of position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for \u003cstrong\u003elow pressure systems\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it works on gravity-fed plumbing — a cold tank in the loft and a hot cylinder — as well as on combi and mains pressure. Useful in the older properties this style tends to suit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eceramic disc cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e with quarter-turn operation means full flow from a small movement, and far less chance of a drip than a traditional washer tap — so you get the period look without the period maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolished chrome needs nothing more than a wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and don't leave limescale remover to soak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the Times range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's also a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-times-branch-mono-basin-mixer-tap081ti\"\u003ebranch mono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e (a lower, more compact version), a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-times-bath-filler-tap083ti\"\u003ebath filler\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-times-bath-shower-mixer-tap082ti\"\u003ebath shower mixer\u003c\/a\u003e, and pillar taps for both basin and bath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode: TAP080TI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished chrome, gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic disc cartridge, quarter turn operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo crosshead handles, hot and cold marked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwivel spout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeck mounted, one tap hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2\" BSP flexi hose connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for low pressure systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 2.04kg\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 5060168228765\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\/EQVRbjHf-xxEngwBGav_2NEBJKD7nW8oCJMH2GSgeYCIHw?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":55211139400006,"sku":"TAP080TI","price":56.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/7273\/6838\/files\/TAP080TI.jpg?v=1759760525","url":"https:\/\/www.keywestbathrooms.co.uk\/products\/kartell-times-mono-basin-mixer-tap080ti","provider":"Key West Bathrooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
