Arthur I once had to fit a monobloc mixer through one tap hole, and a spray head for hair washing through the other hole. Is this type of idea any good to you? The spray head was made from a dishwashing spray with a push button to demand water and ran from the same two cold and hot supplies as the monobloc tap, which kept the temperature right. |

I'm really looking for what is a stand-alone one-hole mixer tap with matching standard tap. Thanks. Arthur |

I'm really looking for what is a stand-alone one-hole mixer tap with matching standard tap. Whilst there is no problem sourcing [1] a monobloc mixer and normal tap to match the problem is installing it. The hole for the monobloc will be about 35mm which will be the hole size in a 'one hole' basin. The holes for the two hole basins will be clearance on 1/2" BSP. which is like around 23-25mm. You might be able to make the hole bigger with a diamond drill but you need to make sure there is a large enough flat area under the basin to connect the monobloc.

If you're wanting this because you want a separate tap for potable water at the basin, you might be able to use a thermostatic mixing/blending valve combining H&C to one single tap for warm water at a preset temperature for washing purposes, and the other single tap for potable water. If you have another application in mind other suggestions may be forthcoming if you can say why you want to do this. Owain |
