I have been looking for ages for where to get one of thsese so far I have only been able to find a mini swan neck tap with a single right side leaver. The swan neck tap which I throught I was mini when It was fitted turned out to be too big and the water splashed everywhere, I need one where the projection is not pointing out too far. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

What is the distance in mm from the middle of the tap hole (where pillar meets basin) to over the waste?
What is the dimension of your existing 'Swan' from middle of pillar to extended spout?
 
Hi BCP I think I have found one that fits,ill test it out if it still create a problem ill have to come back to the forum, thanks for your kind help!!
 
Hi All back to square one the tap still splashed.

Could you tell me a bit more about the flow limiters and how they work please.

What size would I need to get for the tap below?
The tap I have been left with is a crosswater mike lever basin mini monobloc. Which is still splashing the plumber said to get a Angle ball valve insulator to go on thre tap but I can't understand if this fits on the actual tap or the pipe?

Can somone explain how this angle ball vall (90 degree angle) is fit to the tap and how it looks please?

The dimension of the tap hole to the sink hole are from the begining edge of the tap hole to the centre of the sink hole is 12.5cm and from the right edge of the tap hole to the middle of the sink is 9cm if I take the dimensions the other way round.

The sink i have is called GSI Losanga Lavabo flat 35 monoforo bianc007 wash basin:

GSI Sanitari - Prodotti

The tap I have been left with having problems with is

Crosswater Taps - Mike Lever

Crosswater Mike Lever Basin Mini Monobloc ML114DNC

Any suggestions or help would be fully appreciated as I am at my wits end, Thanks Holly!!
 
Hi Gary0689,
for a mixer tap would I need 2?
Do they fit to the flexi's?
Can you get them angled as this is what the plumber is saying??

regards Holly
 
Stick on couple of ballofix and only open them a quarter of the way open this will reduce the water flow

NO don't do that - or us any ball valve, angled or not - you will get a horrible screeching sound every time you run a tap!

Plumbers merchants should be able to supply you with flow restrictors.

Normally they push into the end of the copper pipe which you connect the flexis onto, depending on the type. Ask your merchants for advice.

Get really stuck PM me - I may have some spare.
