We often need to change our kitchen taps, sometimes due to the damage of the older one and sometimes to bring a new look to the kitchen. This is true that nowadays, finding out fashionable taps is not at all tough; but only purchasing a stylish and a useful tap is not the end of your job. If you truly want to make it working, you should make sure that the tap has been fitted well. Or else, it may never work properly.
If you are planning to buy a new one, it is advisable to use the older one for the purpose of measurements. First take measure of the spout length and make sure that the brand new product you have purchased will completely reach your sink and fit the sink holes. Thereafter you should take measurement of the distance between the cold and hot taps, if are planning to replace those taps with a mixer tap.
