– BauEdge - Smooth Body Single-Lever Basin Mixer Tap (1-Hole Installation, Metal Lever, 28mm Ceramic Cartridge, Water Saving Technology, No Waste Set, Tails 3/8 inch), Size 144mm, Chrome, 23330000

There are taps and there are Grohe taps. There's a reason why they are more expensive than others because they are solidly built and designed to last for years. I bought this Grohe BauEdge single lever basin tap to replace a similar looking but poor quality tap installed in my new build home. As many others have pointed out and as is clearly stated in the listing, this tap has pre-fitted Euro sized tail ends and so existing pipework may require appropriate fittings if converting from UK spec fittings. As I have isolation valves fitted to my pipework, the job was straightforward enough. I purchased a pair of 15mm to 3/8 copper tails from my local hardware store for less than a fiver. If you're doing it the way I did it, you will also need new 15mm compression nuts and olives for attaching the tail end fittings to the isolation valves. You may also need some PTFE tape to ensure a watertight fit. There are conversion fittings available from Amazon but they wouldn't have been suitable for my existing isolation valves unless I was prepared to buy a length of copper piping, which I wasn't. I also purchased the Grohe Concerto base plate which has ensured a neat and watertight seal into the basin hole. Not only that, the tap looks better in my opinion with the chrome decking plate. This is a good quality tap at an affordable price and it looks great. It's easy to clean too.

Quality item as always with Grohe, first time I've used Amazon "As New" service where items are customer returns. All good and very impressed with price.

The taps no problems

This really is a very good tap, and looks excellent when fitted. The aerator is also top notch. It does however have a flaw . . . The spout being perfectly flat means that any splashed water pools on top, so it needs near constant wiping and cleaning.

Nice product

Really happy great tap

I purchased this Grohe basin tap firstly because of the relatively low price for a branded tap, and secondly because I liked the style, although my wife wasn’t convinced based on the pictures as it looked very tapered, but the tapering is a lot more minimal in reality. I did have concerns about reviews that said the tab was to small for UK basin holes, but thought I would give it a go being it’s distributed by Amazon, so I could return easily. These review were indeed correct for the basin I have...it’s just a couple of millimetres too small. However, I really like the tap, so I started looking into how it could be adapted. I found a Grohe base plate on Amazon (pictured) that makes this tap work on UK sized holes. Downside is the additional cost of £14. If you do go ahead with buying this (and I do recommend it), you will likely need to purchase 2 x 15mm to 12mm reducing compression joints (also pictured), as the Flexi feeds are euro spec. These cost me a couple of pounds from a plumbers merchant. Worth noting that this tap requires a balanced water system, and pressure above 1 bar. I have a combination boiler with very good water pressure, so it works well. Unbalanced systems will require a non-return valve on the hot water feed (additional cost). I will be purchasing another soon to replace a Bristan tap that is extremely noisy due to my good water pressure.

Decided to pay more for a quality tap.... so went for this GROHE BauEdge. I fitted it to an Ikea bathroom sink, and as the tap hole is on the large side.... I ordered the additional base, but I ended up having to modify the rubber seal so that it fitted the GROHE BauEdge. I also ordered the adaptors for the tails.... and this meant I had to add a small length of 15mm copper pipe so I could attach the adaptors to my isolator valves. As I had some spare copper and some spare 15mm compression fittings... (and the know how!) ...this was all very easy and straight forward. The tap seems very high quality. The tap controls water flow precisely ... and I just hope it lasts!!

To bateria do małych umywalek, bardzo dobrze i cicho działa mieszacz. Jestem bardzo zadowolony z zakupu

Es funcional

İç piyasanın yarı fiyatına, yeni gümrük vergisine yakalanmadan yaptığım bir alışveriş oldu. Gröhe batarya kullanıyordum, kalitesi ve dizaynı beğendiğim için diğer lavaboma da taktırmak için aldım.

Bonne qualité et belles finition, montage sans difficulté. À voir dans le temps !

Rubinetto elegante, robusto e di qualità. Preso in coppia con il bidet. Ottima marca, ho scelto bene. Lo consiglio
