How much can I turn my mixer tap?
Most of our mixer taps are equipped with a swivel spout with a rotation of about 120 degrees, which is adapted for normal and safe use. On each taps product page, you can read if there is an option to increase or limit the rotation if you want to customise the tap according to space or personal preferences.
Our taps are designed with a swivel spout that typically has a turning radius of about 120 degrees. This design provides a good balance between everyday function and controlled use, helping to reduce the risk of spillage and unnecessary wear and tear.
On some tap models it's also possible to adjust or limit the turning radius using the included screws or stops. This means that the tap can be adapted to the conditions of the room, for example if it is placed close to a wall, a window or other furnishings, or if you for other reasons want a more limited or larger movement.
Read more about our range of mixer taps to find the one that suits your home best. In the product information and installation instructions, you can see what functions and adjustment options are available for each mixer tap.
There are no building or industry regulations (such as BBR or Säker Vatten) that regulate how many degrees a mixer tap can be turned. Instead, the focus is on the installation being correct, stable and professionally executed.
