hi
my kitchen sink is up for replacement (someone previous tenant obviously stood on it and dented it so it doesn't drain properly, ie it's always collecting little puddles of dregs) while changing over the sink, i want to take the opportunity to change the taps to cross-top. also, with the current dual-flow spout, nobody here likes the way you get a stream of water coming out that is ice cold on one side and scalding on the other, so i'd like to install a single-flow mixer (with the appropriate plumbing modifications underneath) unfortunately it seems like most of the standard stuff seems only to be made in dual-flow... the extra problem is that i only have about 180mm of clearance above the sink, otherwise the spout will get in the way of opening the window. the Bristan crosstop deck sink mixer chrome (i think model id is: X DSM C) would be good enough for me (vertical height c.150mm), but it's dual-flow. i contacted Bristan but it seems they don't have anything similar in single-flow. and the end of the spout is squarish profile, and there's no screw thread, so no opportunity to fit some kind of mixing gizmo on the front end. likewise i contacted Pegler too, but they don't seem to have anything suitable so... does anyone know where i can get a suitable (spout height 180mm) crosstop deck sink mixer chrome in single flow... or some alternative solutions... looking forward to your suggestions! thanks james |
