Hello, I bought a bathroom sink and tap from IKEA as part of a DIY refurb. The new tap is a monoblock with 12mm x 15mm connectors and it replaced a pair standard 15mm ones. As it's an old house with a gravity fed system the water pressure is not amazing but hot water from this new tap is significantly crapper than the 22m bath taps just after it in line, and also the kitchen's 15mm mixer tap. The cold water is fine, it's just the hot.
So I'm thinking these 12mm mixer taps are not really any good for low pressure systems, wish I could have been advised that before shelling out :-\ I'm now looking at getting a new tap, but most retailers don't list the connector size, or say things like "pipe size required 15mm" (could mean 12 x 15mm) or "M10 x 15mm screw-in copper connecting pipes" ( I'm assuming M10 means 10x15mm). I havn't measured the water pressure so can't really go by bar ratings but am pretty convinced a 15mm is the way to go.
Any tips for good places to buy a nice-ish 15mm bathroom sink tap? Thanks in advance!
