New kitchen tap

[Ashbou10]

Hello does anyone know if i can fit this tap to my kitchen. I currently have mains water for cold and hot water from tank upstairs

You probably could but consider if you depend on it for drinking water that the cold and the maybe unhealthy hot water are mixed before the spout.

Will i still get decent hot water pressure not sure if this tap is for high pressure systems or low pressure systems

 

[ETAF]

Its not a low pressure tap
Low pressure is what I had installed 0.2Bar ish
I also made sure 22mm Pipe used to connect to the taps specifically in bathroom, which also has a Tap mixer shower
what sort of pressure do you get to the house, from the mains? Ours does seem to go down in the summer, when all the holiday makers arrive

Tank upstairs is this a bungalow or House, mine is a bungalow for hot water in the loft
the spec isays s 1.5 - 5.5bar for the tap you linked

Well i doubt i get anywere near 1 bar for my hot water as its coming from the tank upstairs so obviously gravity fed

It is a tap of design which, especially with wear, may allow the high-pressure cold water to escape into the hot pipe, causing your water tank to overflow.

Unless your cold water cistern is more than 15m (gain 0.1bar for every m above an outlet) above the sink then nope, don't install.

The cold water will be okay ask its mains pressure. Im more worried about the hot water

The cold water storage cistern (CWSC) is the large tank in the loft that feeds the hot water cylinder in the cupboard. Unless it's unvented?

The height that the CWSC is above an outlet, when you have gravity hot water, determines the pressure that the hot water exits the outlet at. Every meter above the outlet adds 0.1bar to the pressure.
