Colonial English Gold & White Ceramic Handle Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap

Sold as suitable for low pressure systems and as a kitchen tap, however this will not work with low pressure hot water (open vented) hot water systems as with both hot and cold taps on cold water is forced back up the hot water feed (cold water to kitchen taps is always fed directly from the incoming water main, not the storage tank in the loft). This makes it impossible to regulate teh water temperature and could leadd to the water tanks in the loft overflowing if left running.I bought the tap as in the picture it is shown with a spout similar to the tap it is replacing which has separate channels for hot and cold, so the two feeds are not mixed until the water flows out of the spout. The tap supplied has a different spout fitted without the separate channels so hot and cold are mixed in the body of the tap, hence the problem.If you are looking for a low pressure tap, this is NOT SUITABLE, as you will almost certainly have a high pressure cold feed in your kitchen.Fine for combi boilers or pressurised systems.

Arrived very quickly and it looks really lovely. No more leaks . Great service thank you
