Dimensions against a complete connection kit

Sofetiy three-way kitchen mixer, 320 mm outlet height, 280 mm spout vs GRIFEMA three-way brass kitchen mixer with three 50 cm DVGW hoses

Do you need the sizes, or the fittings?

By

A three-way tap fails at its connections, not at its spout. One of these publishes the height, the reach, the bore and the worktop limit; the other ships three certified hoses and both filter threads. Neither includes a filter.

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 Sofetiy three-way kitchen mixer, 320 mm outlet height, 280 mm spout

Take the Sofetiy if anything sits above your sink, or if the worktop still has to be drilled. It is the only kitchen tap in this catalogue to publish both a height and a reach — and at 320 mm and 280 mm it needs the large sink the maker recommends.

Buy the GRIFEMA three-way brass kitchen mixer with three 50 cm DVGW hoses

Take the GRIFEMA for a first three-way installation. Three certified 50 cm hoses and both filter threads in one box removes the reason these jobs stall, and the brass body is named. It tells you nothing at all about its own shape.

Questions people actually ask

Does either tap include a filter?

No, and neither claims to. A three-way tap is the outlet for a filter you install separately under the sink. The cartridge, the housing and the replacement interval are the real running cost, and they are a separate decision.

Why does the drinking-water hose need certifying?

Because it carries the water you drink, and it is the line people forget. One of these two states DVGW certification on all three hoses individually, including that one.
