I will soon be fitting a monobloc tap to a dual bowl sink unit top.
This http://www.taskersonline.com/product..._granite_sink/ is the
sink unit bowl.
The hole in the sink unit top is pre drilled.
The spout of the tap rotates to cover both bowls.

What is the best way to ensure that, over time, the tap body does not start
to rotate too.

Thanks




I have a swan neck tap ,admittedly over just one bowl, but I do turn
it round over the draining board as it has a drain for cleaning it but
I have never over a number of years had any problem with the body of
the tap turning and it is fed by flexible tails which you might think
would increase the likelihood of it turning . If you are worried it
will maybe you should feed it with copper tails .The tap is held in
place with the usual crescent shaped washer and a big nut and this is
very tight .
