New mixer tap: how to check compatibility before buying
A new mixer may be too tall or incompatible with the mounting point despite looking suitable.
What to check
Check installation type, hole count, base thickness, access below and spout reach for the basin. Pull-out models need room for the hose and its mechanism.
Preparation and next steps
Send the new model drawing, current tap from above and below, sink measurements and cabinet obstacles before purchase. Agree hoses and adapters after assessment. Similar-looking mixers can have different fitting requirements.
