Product Information

Full details

The Flode Vito L-Neck Kitchen Mixer Tap is an ideal solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a durable, modern faucet that simplifies installation. Its standout feature is the patented Top Fix technology, which allows for complete setup from above the worktop, saving you from the frustration of working in tight, dark spaces underneath your sink. While it offers excellent versatility and a sleek aesthetic, users should ensure their current plumbing configuration matches the standard UK fittings to guarantee a perfect seal.

FAQs

Does this tap require special plumbing tools?

No, it uses standard UK plumbing fittings, though a basin wrench may still be useful for the water supply connection underneath.

Can I install this on a stainless steel sink?

Yes, the Flode Vito is fully compatible with standard stainless steel, composite, and ceramic sinks.

How often should I clean the aerator?

It is recommended to clean the aerator every 3 to 6 months to prevent mineral buildup, depending on your local water hardness.

Is the spout height sufficient for large laundry buckets?

The L-neck design provides significant vertical clearance, typically sufficient for most household buckets and large pots.

What should I use to clean the polished silver finish?

Use a mild soapy water solution and a soft cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface finish.

Troubleshooting

Water flow is weaker than expected

Check the aerator at the tip of the spout for debris or limescale buildup and rinse it under running water.

Handle feels stiff or loose

Ensure the handle mounting screw is properly tightened using an appropriate hex key.

Leaking from the base

Verify that the base O-ring is correctly seated and that the Top Fix mounting assembly is tightened to the recommended torque.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Patented top-side installation saves significant time and effort
  • High L-neck design accommodates large pots and pans
  • Smooth single-lever operation for ergonomic temperature control
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant polished silver finish

Cons

  • Requires specific tool compatibility for the Top Fix mechanism
  • Polished silver surface may show water spots without regular wiping
  • Limited to standard sink configurations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installing the Flode Vito is designed to be a straightforward process. Because it utilizes the Top Fix system, you do not need to reach behind the basin to tighten mounting nuts. Ensure you have a standard set of plumbing wrenches and a cloth to protect the finish during the tightening process.

Compatibility: This tap is designed for standard UK sink holes. Before installation, check that your worktop thickness is within the acceptable range for the mounting hardware.

Care: To preserve the polished silver finish, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemical cleaners. A simple wipe-down with a soft, damp cloth followed by a dry microfiber towel will prevent limescale buildup and keep the tap looking new.
