Even with inset basins, the extra height gives you more room to wash your hands and face. The surface-mounted design connects to standard 3\/8\" supplies, making it compatible with common plumbing configurations. The brushed steel finish pairs well with other stainless steel or concrete-look elements in the bathroom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf your washroom is particularly compact, or you prefer a tap that integrates fully into the furniture, a concealed tap or a low mixer tap would be a better choice. This tap is specifically designed as a surface-mounted tap on the basin itself, not for wall-mounted or concealed installation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eInstallation and use\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eBefore installation, check that the hole size in your basin matches the fixing kit supplied with the tap. A common mistake is overtightening the back nut beneath the basin — this can crack ceramic. Hand-tighten the nut first, then turn no more than a quarter-turn further with a tool. The included flexible connection hoses connect directly to the 3\/8\" angle valves found in most bathrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the benefit of a coldstart system on a basin mixer tap?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a standard mixer tap, the boiler fires as soon as the lever is moved even slightly towards hot — even if you only run the water briefly. The coldstart system prevents this by defaulting the lever to the cold position. This saves energy, particularly if you use the tap several times a day for quick handwashing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIs this tall basin mixer tap suitable for use with a countertop basin?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eYes, the raised spout is designed precisely for situations where a countertop basin or freestanding basin sits on the worktop. A standard tap is often too low in these cases, leaving very little usable space beneath the spout. With the taller spout of the DutchLine Thin, you have ample clearance to wash your hands comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow do you maintain a brushed steel tap?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAvoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these will damage the brushed surface. Wipe the tap dry after use with a soft cloth to prevent limescale build-up. A weekly wipe-down with a damp cloth and a mild all-purpose cleaner is sufficient to keep the finish in excellent condition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse the full range in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.schwertzco.com\/collections\/wastafelkranen\"\u003ebasin mixer taps\u003c\/a\u003e collection, or explore all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.schwertzco.com\/collections\/kranen\"\u003etaps\u003c\/a\u003e to find the perfect match for your bathroom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DutchLine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53830035308871,"sku":"B99002162","price":124.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/6281\/7607\/files\/dutchline-thin-coldstart-hoge-wastafelmengkraan-geborsteld-staal-b99002162_171c0986-4005-425a-9da9-81b7200afbda.webp?v=1777372907","url":"https:\/\/www.schwertzco.com\/en\/products\/tall-basin-mixer-tap-dutchline-thin-coldstart-brushed-steel","provider":"Schwertz \u0026 Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
