Pull Out Kitchen Taps

Minimum pressure requirements vary across our range. Many models require 1.0 bar, making them ideal for combi boiler systems, while others operate smoothly from 0.5 bar. Because pull-out hoses naturally restrict water flow, we strongly recommend checking your household pressure and using our minimum pressure filter to find a compatible tap.

No. Most pull-out kitchen taps require a standard single 35mm tap hole, the same as a conventional mixer tap. This means upgrading from a standard mixer to a pull-out tap is straightforward in most cases, with no additional drilling required. Always confirm the tap hole diameter in the product specification before purchasing.

The plumbing involved is no more complex than fitting a standard mixer tap - one hot supply, one cold supply, and a single tap hole. A competent DIYer should be able to manage a standard weighted or spring-loaded model. Professional open-coil style taps are heavier and more involved to install, so a plumber is recommended for those. Either way it is typically a straightforward job.

Pull-out taps are compatible with stainless steel, composite, ceramic, and fireclay sinks. The key checks are that the tap hole diameter matches the tap specification and that there is sufficient clearance beneath the sink deck for the fixing hardware. Heavier professional-style models may require a more robust sink deck - check the product dimensions before purchasing. 

Hose length varies by model and should be confirmed in the individual product specification. If you have a large or double bowl sink, always check the extended hose length in the product specification rather than assuming coverage.
