Focus Single-Lever Mixer Tap, 09600 3

By far the best tap I have owned, a bit pricey but that's fine if the quality is there. solid, functional, not just pretty, easy to clean. Water does not splash all over the place on landing in the sink.Considering how often the tap is used daily, well worth it.

COMPRESSION ADAPTER MAY BE REQUIRED. The tap fixing can go into a deep work top however making the hole will require a special hole saw. Fits to my sink easily but had to make the main hole bigger. The flexie feed pipes do not unscrew and perhaps held in by means of a clip release. So you can't change them. All is well made and the valve is made in Germany. To any diy person make sure your stop check valves work and be aware they can leek after being used. Did happen once. You need the stopcock access then. Check these before starting any work.The design is for ease of use and a sensible one. Therefore I like it.

We used one for these for 10 years before replacing it with another identical unit. It is very well made and is good value for money. Recommended.

Another vote for this excellent piece of German engineering. This tap has actually been DESIGNED - function and form married together perfectly. A joy to fit (unlike the sink!) and flawless in use from the start. My only observation is that I had to "guesstimate" the 7Nm of torque which should be applied to the screws below the large brass retaining nut (think 7 small apples and a 1m-long bar attached at right-angles to the screwdriver...). Brilliant idea, though - easily beats randomly tightening the nut with a spanner in a potentially confined space.It's a pleasure to use and I look forward to flawless service for many years. As already pointed out in others' comments, don't forget to order a pair of 3/8" male to 15mm compression fittings (assuming you have standard UK 15mm copper pipe).

Bought two of these for kitchen and utility, both for use on a high pressure system (combi boiler). Beautifully made taps with a lovely deep, shiny, finish that wipes easily to a perfect shine with a microfibre cloth and a super smooth positive action. Love the way the spout turns all the way round out of the way. Absolutely no splashing due to foaming design of spout. Completely delighted and would never buy another make of tap having had a Hansgrohe. Excellent value for money.
