Kitchen Tapware Guide

Kitchen tapware should reach the working area without colliding with windows, splashbacks or overhead storage. Match the tap to the sink, water services and tasks performed most often.

Choose the right type

• Standard mixers suit straightforward washing and food preparation.
• Pull-out, pull-down and spring mixers extend reach for rinsing larger sinks and cookware.
• Filter, boiling, chilled, pot-filler and commercial-style taps need additional services or space.

Measure before you order

Record the finished dimensions and compare them with the product drawing. Check:

• Spout reach into the sink and outlet height
• Clearance for the handle, hose, window and splashback
• Tap-hole size and benchtop thickness
• Under-bench room for hoses, weights, filters or tanks

Check compatibility and inclusions

• Confirm water pressure and connection requirements
• Check whether filters, tanks, valves or separate outlets are included
• Review applicable WELS and WaterMark documentation
• Coordinate sink accessories so moving parts do not collide

Product inclusions and installation requirements vary. Use the individual product page and supplied documentation as the final reference. If information is missing, contact our team before ordering.

Care and maintenance

Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild product. Periodically check hoses, aerators and filters, and follow replacement intervals supplied with filtration systems.

Frequently asked questions

Pull-out or pull-down—what is the difference?

Both extend the spray head; the hose direction and docking style differ. Compare reach and overhead clearance.

Can a filter tap replace the main mixer?

Some products combine functions and others use a separate outlet. Check the system layout.

Will a tall mixer fit under a window?

Measure the full tap height and the window opening before ordering.
