Vented Taps = Hens Teeth?

[DIYWell]

I'm in the market for a vented mixer tap for a small basin. I can find a few kitchen ones but very few, perhaps 3, smaller ones suitable for a cloakroom basin, let alone any small ones (tallish, shortish projection).

I've searched "vented mixer tap" and "open outlet mixer tap" but really not found much. Is there really not much choice out there or am I missing a magical search term to google with?

There isn't much choice I'm afraid, especially for mixer taps, however it should be possible to convert a standard tap into a vented one without too much effort

Good luck with that!!!

Much better to convert it to unvented & then fit any standard tap you want.

How??

Do you mean replace the water heater to unvented?

Well you'd need a Plumber with a G3 ticket to do it & providing it(said water heater) has the required thermostat, cut out etc, then yes.

Don't give up yet - I saw one in a local PTS going in an old stock clearout.- I'll let you know tomorrow afternoon

@ DIYWell

No "mixer" required, try a search for "dual flow"...there's plenty of choice.
Merging of varied pressure hot and cold streams, although there may be need for some obdurate adjustment of the feed with most flow.

Not the same thing.

Interestingly - I googled for vented mixers and the first two hits were - wait for it..... vented mixer taps .

Yeah, but I bet he doesn't like the look of that one

OP - have you found a tap you like the look of, vented or not?
