Fittings and connections, at the working end of the shelf
What the catalogue shows
Taps at the entry and middle of the shelf, three-way kitchen mixers, and — more usefully — the connecting parts: angle valves, shower hoses and holders.
The listings that are worth the most
The valve and hose listings, because they state threads. A 1/2 inch by 3/8 inch angle valve described as such can be ordered with confidence; one described only by a photograph cannot.
Where to be careful
On the three-way taps, check whether the filtered waterway is genuinely separate all the way to its own outlet. That is the specification that separates a true tri-flow from a mixed one, and it is not always stated.
A compact chrome basin mixer that publishes its spout height, its cartridge type and the thread of the hoses in the box — and tells you to check your own measurements first.
Best for: An inset or semi-recessed basin where a low, compact spout is wanted.
Folding kitchen mixer · 304 stainless · ceramic disc cartridge · aerator · metal lever · swivels vertically and horizontally
A folding under-window mixer that names its cartridge, its aerator and its metal lever — and publishes not one of the heights the whole family is bought for.
Best for: A window sill whose clearance is generous enough that the folded height was never in doubt.
Three-way kitchen mixer · three separate internal lines · own lever for filtered water · 304 stainless · cold-start lever
A two-lever three-way tap that states what actually distinguishes this family: three separate internal waterways, so filtered water never shares a channel with the mixed side.
Best for: Replacing an existing single-hole kitchen tap with one that also serves an under-sink filter, without cutting the worktop.
