The 'Easyfit' design allows the tap to be installed and secured from above the sink, simplifying the process, especially in tight spaces, and reducing the need for awkward under-sink maneuvering.
The kit includes an Allen key and an Easyfit tool specifically for installation. You may need basic plumbing tools like a wrench for connecting the water supply hoses.

Compatibility:
This tap is designed for standard sink installations with a single tap hole. It connects to standard UK water pressures and plumbing systems. Always ensure your existing plumbing is compatible before installation.
