{"product_id":"dual-lever-kitchen-tap-astrid-chrome-mixer","title":"Astrid Dual Lever Kitchen Tap | Chrome Mixer","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAstrid Dual Lever Kitchen Tap – Chrome, Tall Swan Neck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo handles, one spout, one tap hole. The ELLSI Astrid is a \u003cstrong\u003edual lever kitchen tap\u003c\/strong\u003e that keeps the hot and cold controls separate the way older taps did, but feeds them through a single swan neck rather than asking your sink for a second hole. In polished chrome it reads as classic rather than retro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChrome is the reason many people choose this one over the brass. It sits alongside a stainless sink, a chrome bath screen and whatever handles the kitchen already has, so nothing else needs replacing to make it look intentional. It is also the finish that shrugs off cleaning products — no lacquer to strip, no matt coating to dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe proportions are the other thing to weigh. At 375 mm to the top and 240 mm clear beneath the outlet, this is a tall tap with a 210 mm reach, comfortably covering a 1.5 or double bowl and leaving room to fill a stockpot. Measure your window sill if the sink sits under a window that opens inwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressure matters here more than anything else on the page.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Astrid needs 1 bar minimum and will not perform on a gravity-fed system. If your hot water comes from a cylinder in the hot press rather than a combi boiler or pressurised mains, this is the wrong tap and the alternatives below are the right ones. Plenty of older Irish homes fall into that category, so it is worth two minutes now rather than a return later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual lever quarter-turn control\u003c\/strong\u003e — separate hot and cold handles feeding one spout, through a single tap hole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolished chrome finish\u003c\/strong\u003e that tolerates ordinary kitchen cleaners, unlike lacquered brass or a matt coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTall swan neck spout\u003c\/strong\u003e, 375 mm high with 240 mm of clearance beneath the outlet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e210 mm spout reach\u003c\/strong\u003e — sized for 1.5 and double bowl sinks rather than a single small bowl.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwivel spout\u003c\/strong\u003e that turns clear of the bowl when the worktop is busy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeramic disc valves\u003c\/strong\u003e for smooth, drip-free operation with nothing to perish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow straightener\u003c\/strong\u003e giving a clean stream that does not spit against a shallow bowl.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 58 mm base\u003c\/strong\u003e — deck mounted into one tap hole, tidy where worktop space is tight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 bar minimum, high pressure only\u003c\/strong\u003e — not suitable for gravity-fed systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 year manufacturer guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e, handled here in Ireland.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eELLSI (Etal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAstrid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePDT-000583\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKitchen Mixer Tap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMount Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeck Mounted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eControl Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual Lever, Quarter Turn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTap Holes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Chrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass, Stainless Steel \u0026amp;

The dual lever part is about how you use a tap: with one handle you hunt for the blend point every time, with two you set each side and leave it. Anyone who grew up with separate hot and cold taps tends to find it immediately natural, and it looks right in a shaker, in-frame or period kitchen where a single lever can feel too modern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chrome part is about everything else in the room. It is the least committing finish we sell — it blends with what is already there instead of setting a scheme you then have to match. It also survives the cupboard-under-the-sink cleaning products that would ruin a matt black or lacquered brass tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the budget is the deciding factor, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/irishbath.ie\/products\/newton-chrome-kitchen-sink-mixer-tap-swan-neck-twin-lever\"\u003eNewton\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/irishbath.ie\/products\/walton-chrome-mono-kitchen-sink-mixer-tap-square-u-spout\"\u003eWalton\u003c\/a\u003e are both chrome twin-lever taps at roughly half the price, and both work from 0.3 bar — which makes either of them the sensible answer on a gravity-fed system where the Astrid will not do. The Astrid earns its premium on height, reach and the weight of the quarter-turn action rather than on function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer warm metal?
