Schock Monobloc Kitchen Tap

[asfatbloke72]

Hi, I have just fitted the above tap into a new sink, but there appears to be one major flaw.

The body of the tap moves with the connections beneath when the tap is swivelled. This means that the flexible hoses beneath the tap also twist, putting them under extra strain.

This seems highly dodgy to me and very poor design. Does anyone sleep have experience of this arrangement with this or any other Monobloc tap?

THANKS.

Don't know that mixer but the base shouldn't move.
Got a pic ?

Yes i just found one on their site.
Looking at the pic there is clearly a gap between the chrome base and the coloured stem where it should swivel.

Thanks for looking. When the tap is swivelled the collar doesn't move, so yes you're correct in that the two parts don't move together. However, the threaded shaft beneath the collar (ie under the worktop) moves with the flexi pipes and body of the tap. All very odd. Can't be good for the pipes.

Ar i get you strange idea.
Give them a ring see what they say may be right but never seen a tap like that if it's right.
