Full details
The Abode Brolle Dual Lever Kitchen Mixer Tap in Black is an ideal upgrade for homeowners seeking a statement piece that balances classic dual-handle functionality with a bold, contemporary aesthetic. Designed specifically to perform optimally in low to mid-pressure plumbing systems, this tap offers precise water temperature and flow control through its intuitive quarter-turn handles. While its striking black finish provides a high-end look, users should be prepared to maintain the surface regularly to prevent hard water spots from detracting from its matte appearance.

FAQs
Does this tap work with high-pressure systems?
The Abode Brolle is designed for low to mid-pressure systems; using it with high-pressure systems may require a pressure-reducing valve.
How do I clean the black finish?
Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or acidic solutions that could strip the finish.
Are the flexible tail pipes included?
Yes, the tap comes with flexible tail pipes to make the installation process faster and easier.
What is the handle type?
This model features a dual-lever system with a quarter-turn action for precise, easy control.
Does the spout splash?
No, it is equipped with an anti-splash spout to ensure a steady, controlled flow.
Can this be installed in a standard kitchen sink hole?
Yes, the Brolle is designed to fit standard kitchen sink configurations.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is slow or inconsistent
Check the aerator at the tip of the spout for limescale blockages and clean if necessary.
Tap handle feels stiff or difficult to turn
Mineral deposits may have accumulated around the valve; soak the handle area in a mild vinegar solution or replace the internal quarter-turn cartridge.
Water leaking from the base of the handle
The O-ring or the ceramic cartridge may need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: The inclusion of flexible tail pipes makes the Brolle significantly easier to install in confined under-sink cabinets. Ensure the mounting hole is free of debris before placing the tap base. Always use a professional plumber if you are unfamiliar with isolating water supplies.
Compatibility: This model is specifically calibrated for low to mid-pressure systems. If you have a high-pressure (mains fed) system, ensure a pressure reducing valve is installed to avoid damage to the ceramic cartridges.
Care: To preserve the black finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners. Wipe the tap down daily with a soft, damp microfiber cloth to prevent limescale buildup, which is particularly visible on dark surfaces.
