Tap Connection Centres 200mm bathroom sink

[mariannagr1]

I have a traditional British bathroom sink with 2 separate taps for cold and hot water. I need a bridge mixer tap for it. The problem is I only seem to find ones with 180mm tap connection centres, while mine needs 200mm. IS there hope?

Where does the pipework come from for the sink ? In the wall or from the floor

From the floor, waste goes to wall.

You should be able to adjust them easy enough

Adjust what? I do not understand...

1. Presumably it is the centres of the tap holes in the basin which are 200 mm apart, so no adjustment possible.
2. You might be able to find a bridge mixer for it, but it will be one with adjustable "legs" up to the body of the tap.
3. Something like Danbury Lever Bridge Sink Mixer | Traditional Kitchen Taps - https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/danbury-lever-bridge-kitchen-sink-mixer?campaign=googlebase&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvYaF0KCS7wIVCp7tCh2BVAV_EAQYBCABEgLJxPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds ? (Not an endorsement, just an illustration!)

The OP wants a mixer tap that fits the 200mm centres between the holes in his ceramic washbasin. I think Shaun has had a long day, is confused, and is thinking about the pipework.

Steadyon beat me to it!

This is a kitchen bridge. If I put this in my bathroom basin, it will suit well for mopping perhaps, but not for handwashing XD

It's most likely because you used the work 'sink'. As my mother always drummed into me, it's a 'washbasin'. For most of the world, it's a bathroom sink, but we plumbers are so used to the tecnical term, we probably forget that.

First ones throw is 6 1/2”
Second one throw is less than 4”

both should be fine for a basin but agree the first one isn’t the best second one looks better in my opinion

 

[Ric2013]

Out of interest, what makes you want to keep the old washbasin but then fit a mixer? I'm of the inclination that an old British basin would look best with traditional separate taps, not these fancy continental mixers. Probably, though, it's because I don't really like mixer taps myself.

In fact, now Brexit's happened, haven't mixers been made illegal?

Haha, you take my mixer tap, I'll take your pizza
