Tap considerations

Choosing the Right Kitchen Tap

With so many tap styles, finishes and features available, selecting the right model can feel overwhelming. Alongside appearance, it's important to consider your home's water system and available water pressure.

Some properties, particularly older homes with gravity-fed systems, may require kitchen taps specifically designed to operate effectively at lower water pressures. Choosing a tap that matches your water system will help ensure optimum performance and water flow.

If you're unsure which tap is best for your home, your retailer or a qualified plumber can help you identify the most suitable option.

 

Understanding Tap Pressure Ratings

Selecting a Tap for Your Water Pressure

Kitchen taps are designed to operate within specific water pressure ranges. To achieve the best performance, it's important to choose a tap that is compatible with your home's water system.

  • Low-pressure taps are ideal for gravity-fed systems and older properties.
  • High-pressure taps are suitable for homes with modern combi boilers, unvented cylinders or mains-pressure water systems.
  • If your property has high water pressure, you'll typically have a wider choice of tap styles available.

Look for the water pressure rating shown alongside your chosen tap to identify the recommended operating pressure and ensure optimum performance.

 

Household Water Pressures

Note:

  • The output of gravity fed systems is typically 0.2 bar.
  • The output of combi-pressurised systems is typically 1.5 bar
