FA0120 Tall Basin Mixer: One Basin Tap, Two Finishes

A tall single-lever basin mixer with a lattice-textured handle, available in brushed yellow gold or matte black — a basin tap built to be the focal point, not an afterthought.

FA0120 Tall Basin Mixer: One Basin Tap, Two Finishes

Most basin mixers try to disappear into the background. The FA0120 does the opposite — a tall, slim-necked spout with a distinctive lattice-textured lever, built to be looked at as much as used.

Why the extra height matters

A taller spout arc is the small detail that makes a bathroom basin mixer work properly with a vessel or above-counter basin — you need clearance for hands and a jug without the water splashing off a low spout. At roughly 200mm to the outlet, the FA0120 sits comfortably above most vessel bowls without looking oversized on a slimmer under-mount basin.

Two finishes, one silhouette

The same body comes in a warm brushed yellow gold and a matte black — one warms up a neutral stone countertop, the other reads quietly modern against white ceramic. Both share the knurled, lattice-patterned handle, which does double duty as grip texture when your hands are wet.

Fitting notes

Single tap-hole deck mount, ceramic disc cartridge inside for a drip-free long life. As with any basin tapware purchase, check your vanity top's tap hole diameter before ordering — most NZ vanity tops use a standard 35mm hole, but it is worth a five-minute measure if you are retrofitting an older top.
