Pressure check / measurements
Check compatibility first
A kitchen tap needs to suit the sink, water pressure, pipe connections and the way the household uses the space.
Useful checks
- Check minimum pressure for pull-out, filtered, boiling or mixer taps.
- Measure spout height against windowsills and wall units.
- Choose lever handles if grip or accessibility matters.
- Match finish to cleaning habits as much as style.
- Confirm flexi tail sizes and isolation valve access.
Safety note
Boiling-water taps and powered/filter systems may need additional installation checks. Use a qualified professional where electrics or complex plumbing are involved.
