Anti-Odour Sink Protector

A kitchen tap is chosen on spout height and reach. A high spout lets you fill a pan; a 360° swivel spout is useful when the sink has two bowls. Also check the clearance under the window if the sink sits in front of an opening.

Between two models, the ceramic cartridge, the finish and the fixing method decide it — a quality cartridge means ten years without a drip.

• Silicone body
• High spout, to fill a pan without tilting it
• Swivelling spout, to cover two bowls
• Ceramic cartridge, for drip-free operation
• Fits an existing sink, hoses supplied

An aerator like LED tap aerator fits by hand and reduces the flow without you feeling it.

It fits on the existing sink: turn off the supplies, remove the old tap, pass the hoses through and tighten from below. Have a basin wrench to hand, as the space under a sink is always tighter than it looks.

In the kitchen, the aerator decides everyday comfort. Unscrewed and left for an hour in warm white vinegar each quarter, it regains its flow without anything else needing to be taken apart.

In the same spirit, Stainless Steel Sink Waste Plug completes the installation.
