{"product_id":"tap9016-deck-dual-lever-polished-chrome-swan-neck-mixer-kitchen-tap","title":"TAP9016 Deck Dual Lever Polished Chrome Swan Neck Mixer Kitchen Tap","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead this first: this is a two-hole deck tap, not a monobloc.\u003c\/strong\u003e It mounts across two existing tap holes at 220mm centres — the footprint is 220mm x 42mm — with a lever over each hole and the swan neck spout in the middle. If your sink or worktop has a single tap hole, this tap will not fit it, and you want a monobloc instead: the Rienza TAP3545 gives you the same two-lever arrangement on one hole. If you are replacing an old two-hole pillar set and want to keep the holes you have, this is exactly the tap for the job, and it is the cheapest way to do it in the Howdens range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt will run on almost any water system.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated 0.2-5 bar — the lowest starting pressure of any tap we stock — and classed by Howdens as suitable for low to high pressure systems. It is a genuine answer for an old gravity-fed system with a tank in the loft, which is often exactly what is behind a two-hole sink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe plumbing is different from a monobloc, so check these.\u003c\/strong\u003e The connection is a ½\" BSP \u003cem\u003emale\u003c\/em\u003e thread with fixed inlets, not flexi tails — so the tap does not flex to meet your pipework and the holes need to line up. Maximum sink and worktop thickness is 38mm, the tightest in our range, so measure the deck of a thick composite sink before ordering. All fixings and the instruction manual are supplied. The aerator is a replaceable Neoperl honeycomb insert and the valve is a ceramic disc cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on the specification.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens' own page describes this as a \"dual flow\" design while its specification table states Flow Type: Single Flow. We have followed the specification and reproduced it verbatim below — the hot and cold are mixed and delivered through the single spout. If independent hot and cold outlets are what you need, this is not the tap.\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: Deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour Description: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection Type: ½\" BSP Male Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlow Type: Single Flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Type: Dual Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel Number: TAP9016\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: Fixings, Instruction Manual\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: Neoperl Honeycomb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 217mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 237mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Pressure Range: 0.2-5bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (Without Packaging): 1.301kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowdens do not publish a spout reach figure for this tap, so we have not quoted one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Type: Surface Mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTap Footprint: 220mm x 42mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Sink and Worktop Thickness: 38mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTail Pipe Type: Fixed Inlets\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\u003e1 Year Guarantee Against Surface Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccreditations: CE Marked, WRAS Approved, Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Howdens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56867125395842,"sku":"TAP9016","price":57.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0038\/9608\/2532\/files\/ass_prod_img_25649931.jpg?v=1787577349","url":"https:\/\/www.welovekitchens.co.uk\/products\/tap9016-deck-dual-lever-polished-chrome-swan-neck-mixer-kitchen-tap","provider":"We Love Kitchens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
