Contra Brushed Steel Pull Out Kitchen Tap | Flexible Spring Neck

Brushed Steel Pull Out Kitchen Tap – Flexible Spring Neck, Commercial-Style Spray

Brushed steel is the finish the spring-neck design grew up in. Over a stainless sink, beside a stainless hob and appliance handles, the Contra looks like part of the same set — the commercial-kitchen look, softened by a brushed grain instead of bright chrome. This brushed steel pull out kitchen tap stands 520 mm tall, so it suits an open sink run where it has room to be seen.

ELLSI call the neck spring-flexi: a hose inside an open coil that bends with you when you lift the spray head out of its side-arm holder. That makes it a properly flexible kitchen tap — aim it into the corners of the bowl, across a large roasting tin or into a bucket on the drainer, then let it settle back. A switch on the head changes stream to spray, and one quarter-turn lever does the rest.

The finish is brushed steel over a body of brass, stainless steel and zinc, so it matches stainless in tone without being a solid stainless casting. A 35 mm ceramic cartridge and a flow straightener do the work inside. It fits Irish kitchens on a single tap hole with no change to the pipework.

Pressure decides whether it suits you: the Contra wants 1 bar minimum, up to 3 bar, and ELLSI mark it unsuitable for gravity-fed systems, so it needs a combi boiler or pressurised mains. Allow 520 mm of clear height above the worktop as well.

Why Choose a Brushed Steel Pull Out Kitchen Tap?

Because it blends into a stainless kitchen while still giving you the spring-neck shape. Chrome on a coil this size behaves like a mirror and shows every splash; a brushed surface scatters the light, so the same marks barely register. Clean it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, wiping along the grain, and keep scouring pads away from it — they cut across the brushing and leave marks that catch the light.

If 520 mm is more tap than the space needs, the Cato in brushed steel is a lower pull-out with the spray head built into a curved spout. For a fixed spout, the Tivoli in brushed steel and the twin-lever Stroud in brushed steel both need 1 bar as well; on a gravity-fed supply the Adria in brushed steel runs from 0.5 bar. For filtered boiling water in the same finish, see the brushed steel boiling water tap. The Contra is also made in matt black and brushed brass.
