Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a pillar tap?

A pillar tap is a traditional type of tap that features separate controls for hot and cold water. These taps are mounted onto a bath or basin using two separate tap holes—one for hot water and one for cold. They allow users to manually adjust the temperature by mixing the water in the tub or sink. Pillar taps are commonly found in traditional and period-style bathrooms, offering a classic and elegant design.
2. How does a pillar tap work?

Pillar taps operate using independent controls for hot and cold water. When you turn the hot tap, it allows hot water to flow, and when you turn the cold tap, cold water flows separately. The user mixes the water manually in the bath or basin to achieve the desired temperature. These taps typically have either lever handles for a modern touch or crosshead handles with an x-shaped design for a classic look.
3. How do I fit pillar taps?

Installing pillar taps is a straightforward process, but it requires some basic plumbing knowledge. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Turn off the water supply – Before installation, ensure that the water supply to the bath is turned off.
  2. Remove the old taps – If replacing existing taps, use a wrench to unscrew and detach them from the bath.
  3. Fit the new pillar taps – Insert the taps into the two pre-drilled holes on the bath and secure them with the provided washers and nuts.
  4. Connect the pipes – Attach the hot and cold water supply pipes to the corresponding tap inlets.
  5. Tighten all fittings – Ensure that all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
  6. Turn the water supply back on – Check for leaks and ensure that both taps function properly.

If you’re unsure about installation, it’s always best to consult a professional plumber for assistance.
4. How do I determine the right size of bath pillar taps for my bathtub?

To choose the right size, consider the following:

  • Tap Hole Spacing – Ensure the taps match the existing hole spacing on your bathtub. 
  • Tap Height & Projection – Measure the space above and around the tap area to ensure the spout height and reach are suitable for your bathtub.
  • Spout Length – Check that the spout extends far enough into the bathtub to prevent water from splashing outside the bath.
  • Handle Type – Consider whether you prefer lever or crosshead handles, depending on your bathroom style and ease of use.
5. Are bath pillar taps suitable for all water pressure systems?

Yes, these taps are generally compatible with most water pressure systems, but it’s important to check the manufacturer’s specifications.

  • They work well with both high and low-pressure systems.
  • For low-pressure systems (below 0.5 bar), choosing taps designed for low pressure ensures a steady water flow.
  • For high-pressure systems (above 1.0 bar), pillar taps will function efficiently without any issues.

If you have particularly low water pressure, consider checking your plumbing setup or opting for a tap specifically designed to work with low-pressure systems.
6. Can bath pillar taps be installed on any type of bathtub?

Yes, these taps can be installed on most bathtubs with two pre-drilled tap holes, making them ideal for freestanding, built-in, and traditional bathtubs with separate hot and cold connections. However, they are not suitable for bathtubs with a single tap hole or those designed for bath mixer taps, unless modified. As deck-mounted taps, they are incompatible with wall-mounted setups. Always check your bathtub’s configuration before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
