Product Information

Full details

The Blanco Vicus Bridge Kitchen Mixer Tap is an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a blend of classic aesthetic and contemporary functionality. Perfectly suited for traditional or farmhouse-style kitchen designs, this tap offers a high-rise spout that simplifies filling oversized pots and pans. While its dual-handle bridge configuration provides excellent precision for temperature control, users should note that it requires a two-hole installation, which may necessitate modifications for sinks designed for single-hole faucets.

FAQs

Can I install this on a single-hole sink?

No, this model is specifically designed for a two-hole installation. You would need to add a second hole to your countertop or sink deck to accommodate the bridge design.

How do I clean the finish without damaging it?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the silver finish.

What is the primary benefit of the bridge design?

The bridge design offers a classic, timeless aesthetic while separating the hot and cold water supplies for distinct, precise control.

Is the spout height sufficient for large pots?

Yes, the high-rise swivel spout is specifically designed to provide ample clearance for filling large cookware.

Does this tap include a pull-out spray?

No, this is a fixed-spout bridge mixer tap without a pull-out spray feature.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water flow

Unscrew the aerator at the tip of the spout and rinse out any trapped sediment or calcium buildup.

Leaking around the base of the handle

Check if the handle retaining screw has loosened or if the internal cartridge needs to be reseated.

Spout swivel feels loose or wobbly

Tighten the locking nut located at the base of the spout assembly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, timeless bridge design
  • High clearance for large cookware
  • Smooth, precise handle operation
  • High-quality ceramic disc seals for longevity

Cons

  • Requires a two-hole sink configuration
  • Bridge design takes up more surface area than single-lever taps
  • Requires manual adjustment of both handles to balance temperature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Vicus Bridge tap requires a two-hole sink setup. Ensure that your countertop or sink deck has two pre-drilled holes at the standard distance specified for bridge-style mixers. Before mounting, ensure that the supply lines have adequate clearance under the sink. For care, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the silver finish. Instead, wipe the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth and buff dry with a microfiber towel to prevent water spots and mineral buildup. Periodically check the aerator for debris; if flow slows down, unscrew the aerator tip and rinse under water to clear any sediment.
