{"product_id":"tap3469-nevola-matt-black-swan-neck-single-lever-mixer-kitchen-tap","title":"TAP3469 Nevola Matt Black Swan Neck Single Lever Mixer Kitchen Tap","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Nevola is the tallest budget tap Howdens make — 390mm to the top of the arc, with a 222mm reach — so it clears a tall stockpot or a roasting tin in a way most taps at this price cannot. In matt black on a curved swan neck it reads as a considered choice rather than a cheap one, which is the whole point of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt will run on almost any water system.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated 0.3-5 bar and classed by Howdens as suitable for low to high pressure systems, so it works on a gravity-fed tank as well as on mains or combi pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical detail worth knowing before you order.\u003c\/strong\u003e One tap hole with a 50mm footprint, and a generous 53mm maximum sink and worktop thickness, so it is comfortable on a thick composite sink or a solid timber top. It is supplied with flexi tails, fittings and an instruction leaflet, on a ½\" BSP female thread. The aerator is a replaceable 6mm insert — a cheap spare part rather than a new tap if it furs up — and the valve is a ceramic disc cartridge. Note that Howdens specify a flow straightener rather than the Neoperl honeycomb aerator used across the Lynstone and Rienza ranges, so the stream is a solid column of water rather than an aerated one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo differences from the rest of the budget range, stated plainly.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens list this tap as CE Marked and compliant with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, but they do not list it as WRAS Approved, and the 5 year manufacturer's guarantee is not accompanied by a separate surface finish warranty as it is on the Lynstone and Rienza taps. If either matters to you, the Lynstone matt black mixer (TAP3432) carries both. As with any matt black finish, clean with a damp cloth rather than a cream cleaner or a limescale spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you cannot buy this from Howdens yourself.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens supply the trade only — no trade account, no purchase, and no published prices. We hold a trade account, so we can supply the same Howdens-sourced tap direct to you at a normal retail price, with no account and no minimum order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAerator Type: Replaceable Aerator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: Nevola\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour Description: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection Type: ½\" BSP Female Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Matt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlow Type: Single Flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Type: Single Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel Number: TAP3469\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure Suitability: Suitable for Low to High Pressure Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Mixer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Swan Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpout Type: Swivel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied With: Flexi Tails, Fittings, Instruction Leaflet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTap Turn Operation: ¼ Turn Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTap Valve: Ceramic Disc Cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Flow Type: Flow Straightener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 390mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 259mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpout Reach: 222mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAerator Size: 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Pressure Range: 0.3-5bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (Without Packaging): 1.254kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Type: Surface Mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTap Footprint: 50mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Sink and Worktop Thickness: 53mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTail Pipe Type: Flexi Tails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGuarantee and accreditations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Year Manufacturer's Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccreditations: CE Marked, Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Howdens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56867125100930,"sku":"TAP3469","price":90.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0038\/9608\/2532\/files\/ass_prod_img_25523972.jpg?v=1787577322","url":"https:\/\/www.welovekitchens.co.uk\/products\/tap3469-nevola-matt-black-swan-neck-single-lever-mixer-kitchen-tap","provider":"We Love Kitchens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
