This surprised me at first tap first. In fact, the valve control knob is slightly shifted to the right and not behind as is usually the case. Here if everything goes well we wonder align with the valve, but yes! Another surprise in cold position the handle is aligned with the outlet then I am used to having the cold by turning to the right and the hot left. Here one has only a quarter turn from cold to warm by turning to the left. Perhaps more aesthetic! The valve is short: 10 cm between the axis and the water outlet. But do not install it on too narrow basin because the water outlet is not vertical but forward, angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal: so far more or less according to jet pressure. The flexible 35 cm 2 are, as is now usual, tamperproof tap: flexible so dead, bloody tap. Their length allows easy installation on existing pipework. The fittings are of 12x17 classic female. The recommended pressure is 1 to 5 bar. Flow rate of 5 l / min at 3 bar. The maximum temperature of for hot water is 70 °. For durability, aesthetics and quality is the Grohe: expensive but classy!
