Product Information

Full details

The Contra Kitchen Mixer Tap in grey is an ideal choice for home cooks and busy families who need professional-grade utility in a modern kitchen. This tap's standout feature is its spring-style flexi pull-out hose, which offers exceptional reach for cleaning large pots and rinsing produce, though it is specifically engineered for high-pressure water systems and may not perform optimally in low-pressure setups.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this tap work with gravity-fed systems?

No, this model is designed specifically for high-pressure water systems.

Can I use this for a farmhouse-style sink?

Yes, as long as the sink deck provides a flat, stable surface for a standard deck-mounted mixer.

How long are the flexible tails?

The tap is supplied with 600mm flexible tails for connection.

Is the spray head made of plastic or metal?

The tap features durable components; refer to the user manual for specific material care guidelines.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will generally need an adjustable wrench and a basin wrench, though professional installation is recommended.

Can the spray hose be detached completely?

No, the hose is designed to pull out from the spring arm and retract back into place.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow from the tap

Verify that your household system meets high-pressure requirements and check that the flexible supply tails are not kinked.

The spray head does not switch modes

Gently check the toggle switch on the spray head; if it feels stiff, rinse it under running water to clear potential limescale buildup.

Leaking around the lever

The ceramic cartridge may need to be reseated or replaced if the leak persists; ensure the mounting nut is securely tightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Modern, professional design aesthetic
  • High-reach spring pull-out functionality
  • Durable ceramic cartridge for smooth flow control
  • Easy one-handed operation
  • Includes necessary flexible tails for install

Cons

  • Requires a high-pressure water system
  • Single finish option may not match all decors
  • Requires sufficient clearance above the sink for the spring arm

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure your household water system meets the required high-pressure specifications. The unit mounts to your sink deck and connects via the provided 600mm flexible tails. For daily care, wipe the grey finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check that the pull-out hose moves freely within its spring housing and clear any mineral buildup from the spray head nozzles by gently rubbing them with your thumb.
