2-Hole Wall-Mounted Bath Mixer Tap

“2 holes” here means the two wall inlets, hot and cold water, onto which the mixer screws. The body is rounded, the short spout ends in an aerator, and a knurled pull on top of the spout switches the water to the handset.

The lever carries a red and blue marker, handy for a child or a guest discovering the tap.

The diagram gives 150 mm centres, 170 mm in length and 130 mm in height, with a G1/2″ outlet under the spout. The spout stays short, which suits a bath placed lengthways against the wall.

The chrome version has polished round rosettes; the black version, fully matt, pairs with a black shower rail. A photo shows the black version under a rail with a soap dish and a round handset: that set is not included, it only shows how well they go together.

The supplier states a brass body and a ceramic cartridge. The close-ups show connector nuts whose threaded interior is brass-coloured.

The tap is sold without shower head or hose, according to the supplier. Choose them in the same shade to avoid a chrome hose under a black tap.

The photo of the parcel, black version, shows two rosettes and two eccentric connectors. They screw into the wall outlets and adjust between 130 and 170 mm according to the supplier, then the mixer is tightened onto them.

No drilling if your two inlets are already there; a like-for-like replacement takes a little under an hour, water off. Otherwise, a plumber needs to bring the inlets in.

You have 30 days to change your mind if the finish does not suit. Before the final tightening, check that the body is perfectly level.
