Height published against fitting published

hansgrohe Focus M41 pull-out kitchen mixer, 240 mm outlet height vs Engelbach 304 stainless pull-out kitchen mixer, 33–38 mm tap hole

Do you need the height, or the fitting sizes?

By

Two pull-out kitchen mixers that each publish half of what a kitchen tap should. One tells you how much room there is under the spout; the other tells you whether it will bolt to your sink at all.

A tick marks the better answer on that line only. Counting ticks does not decide the page — the two verdicts below do, because these products answer different questions.

Which one, for whom

Buy the hansgrohe Focus M41 pull-out kitchen mixer, 240 mm outlet height

Take the hansgrohe if something sits above your sink — a wall unit, a windowsill, a shelf. It is the only pull-out here that publishes both an outlet height and a working clearance, and the selectable 110°/150° stop keeps it off a neighbouring wall.

Buy the Engelbach 304 stainless pull-out kitchen mixer, 33–38 mm tap hole

Take the Engelbach if the sink deck is the unknown. A 33 to 38 mm bore, a 40 mm worktop limit, a 3/8 in connection, a named steel and a named cartridge — it answers every question except how tall it is.

Questions people actually ask

Why does the worktop thickness matter?

The fixing stud passes through the worktop or sink deck and takes its nut underneath. On a thick stone top a tap with a short stud cannot be tightened at all, and very few listings state the limit. One of these two does.

Is a 360° swivel better than 150°?

Not necessarily. A tap that swings all the way round will hit a wall, a window reveal or a hob edge and drip on the worktop when it does. A stop set at installation is a decision made once, and it is why one of these two offers 110° or 150° rather than everything.
