Ideal Standard Ceraflex Chrome Single Lever Bath Mixer Tap

High Water Pressure

Water systems operating at 1.0 bar or higher pressure are considered high-pressure systems. Products usually come labelled if they are suitable to use under such pressure.

Flow Straightener

A flow straightener, also called Honeycomb, is a fitting which directs the flow of water from the outlet in a way as to straighten the stream. They are generally not flow-regulated and differ in design from the pressure-compensating aerator.

Flexible Tail Pipes

Flexible Tails, or "Flexi" Tails, are one of the easiest methods to connect the plumbing pipework to the tap fitting. Mixers generally have two tails, one for the hot water supply and the other for the cold. These tailpipes consist of rubber inside a braided metal and come in many sizes.

WRAS Approved Product

WRAS Approval means that the particular water fitting or product complies with or meets the requirements specified by the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations or Scottish Byelaws.

FirmaFlow Ceramic Cartridge

The firmaFlow ceramic disc cartridge uses Click Technology with a mechanical stop to limit the tap water flow at the basin to just the amount needed to wash hands. It maintains flow consistency, reduces use by up to 50%, and offers the utmost temperature precision and safety. It can fine-tune the temperature between 34°C and 42°C. This cartridge has almost double the lifespan as the industry standard lasts– 500,000 cycles, compared to 300,000 cycles. It has a high hot water resistance of greater than 95°C.

BS EN 817:2008 Standard

BS EN 817 applies to PN 10 mechanical mixing valves for use with sanitary appliances installed in cloakrooms, bathrooms, and also in kitchens, i.e. for use with bathtubs, basins, bidets, sinks and showers. It specifies dimensional, leak tightness, pressure resistance, hydraulic performance, mechanical strength, endurance and acoustic characteristics that these mechanical mixing valves must comply with. It also specifies their test methods.

Single Lever Taps

These taps are designed with a single lever or handle to control the water's temperature and flow. Extremely easy to operate, these also allow you to preset the water temperature by leaving it in the position with your preferred water temperature. Besides, it is simple to control the flow of water; the higher you lift the lever or move it to the end, the stronger the water flow.

Optional: Diverter In Showers

A diverter, specifically in bath-shower combos, redirects the water flow from the bathtub spout to the showerhead. You can activate it using the nozzle in the bath shower mixer tap.

Balanced Supplies

Balanced supplies in a mixer tap mean the hot and cold water inputs have consistent pressures and temperatures. Maintaining these constants is critical to keep the mixer work at its top form and give a controlled and comfortable flow blended to the required temperature.
