Pull Out Taps

Learn more about pull out taps

A pull out tap has a spray head that pulls out of the spout on a hose, then retracts back into place. It is used on kitchen sinks where the extra movement helps with day to day washing, rinsing and filling tasks.

Most designs are a pull out mixer tap, blending hot and cold through one control or a dual lever. A pull out spray mixer tap adds a spray function, which gives you another way to direct the water at the sink.

Typical uses

• Multi-bowl sinks: Extending water flow easily across double-bowl or deep ceramic sink layouts.

• Heavy cookware rinsing: Washing large baking sheets, stockpots, and grill trays that do not fit under standard fixed taps.

• Food preparation: Gently washing fresh produce, fruit, and vegetables using dedicated fine-spray settings.

• Sink cleaning: Rinsing down the entire sink basin perimeter and drainer board to keep work surfaces hygienic.

How to choose the right pull out tap

• Choose the lever style, check the sink opening and confirm the product specifications before you order.

• Look at hose length, spout reach, mounting hole size, connection set up and the water system on site.

• For a replacement, measure the existing spout reach, hose length and mounting hole size.

• Check the service connections underneath will suit the new tap.

• Make sure you have access during fitting, whether you are doing the work yourself or bringing in a plumber.

• If the measurements do not match, compare the product specifications again before you order.

• If anything is still unclear, take the sink dimensions, hose length, mounting hole size and water system details to branch and check them against the tap you are considering.

Before you order

• Check the product specifications for hose length, spout reach, mounting hole size and connection set up.

• Measure the existing tap and sink opening if you are replacing a tap.

• Confirm the water system on site suits the tap you are buying.
