Product description

Brushed Steel Cato Kitchen Tap – Pull Out Spray, Stainless Steel Body

The ELLSI Cato in brushed steel is a tall curved stainless steel kitchen tap with a pull-out spray head. The finish is a fine directional grain with a soft matt sheen rather than a mirror — the same language as a brushed sink, a stainless fridge or a range hood, which is normally exactly why people choose it.

The head pulls out of the spout on a braided hose and returns under its own weight, with two modes selected by a button on the head: an even stream for filling and a spray for rinsing. The spout swivels a full 360° and stands 400 mm tall with a 220 mm reach, so it covers both bowls of a double sink and swings clear when you need the space.

The body is stainless steel throughout, not a coating over brass or zinc, which is what lets it carry a brushed finish without the plating blistering. That matters across Ireland where hard water runs through much of the midlands and east. A ceramic disc cartridge keeps the single lever light and drip-free, and ELLSI back the tap for 5 years — more than double their standard 2-year term on taps.

One thing to check before ordering. This pull out kitchen tap needs 1 bar minimum, because the spray head restricts flow. Combi boilers and pressurised mains are fine; an older gravity-fed cylinder in the hot press often sits below that and the tap will feel weak. It takes a single 35 mm tap hole and comes with flexible tails. No waste is supplied, and we do not stock kitchen sink wastes, strainers or traps at all.

Features & Benefits

  • Stainless steel kitchen tap through the body – not a coating over brass or zinc, so the brushed finish cannot blister off.
  • Brushed steel finish – a fine directional grain that reads as a match to a brushed sink, fridge or range hood where chrome would stand out.
  • Pull out spray head on a braided hose – reaches into both bowls, a draining board or a bucket on the floor.
  • Two spray modes on a head-mounted button – an even stream for filling, a spray for rinsing plates and vegetables.
  • 360° swivel spout – covers a double sink and swings clear of the bowl.
  • 400 mm tall with a 220 mm reach – fills a stockpot without tilting it.
  • Single-lever ceramic disc cartridge – light action, clean shut-off, no slow drip.
  • Hides water spots – a brushed surface shows limescale bloom far less than polished chrome.
  • Flexible tap connectors supplied – a direct swap for most existing mono mixers.
  • 5-year ELLSI guarantee – more than double ELLSI's standard 2 years. Guarantee terms differ by manufacturer and by range rather than by quality tier.

Why Choose the Brushed Steel Cato Kitchen Tap?

Brushed steel is the finish that matches what is already in most kitchens. The sink is usually brushed stainless, and so are the fridge, the hood and often the oven — and against all of those, polished chrome reads as brighter and slightly out of place. Brushed steel disappears into them. It also hides water spots and fingerprints far better than chrome, which matters on a tap handled with wet hands twenty times a day. The same Cato body is made in polished chrome, matt black and brushed brass — all four are the same tap underneath, and the price difference is the finishing process rather than the hardware.

Brushed steel sits at the top of the Cato range alongside the brushed brass, with polished chrome the cheapest of the four. If a pull-out hose is not what you need, the genuine alternative is a fixed mono mixer: the Tivoli in brushed steel is the same finish with a swan neck instead of a spray head, costs a good deal less, and runs on far lower pressure — worth knowing if your supply is marginal. Going the other way, the Deva Spring is a pull-down rather than a pull-out and carries a 12-year guarantee; our pull-out vs pull-down guide works through which suits which sink.

No waste is needed or supplied — kitchen sink wastes, strainers and traps are not part of our range, and a tap change reuses what is already fitted. We deliver across the Republic of Ireland — Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and every county between — free on orders over €100 and typically within 2–3 working days, with same-day Dublin collection by arrangement on stocked items.

FAQ
What pressure does it need? Will it work on a gravity-fed cylinder?
It needs 1 bar minimum, and that is the detail to check before ordering. A pull-out spray head restricts flow, so pull-out taps ask more of the supply than fixed ones. Combi boilers and pressurised mains are fine. An older Irish home with a hot water cylinder in the hot press often sits below 1 bar, and the tap will feel weak. If that is your setup, a fixed mono mixer is the better buy - the Walton runs from 0.3 bar and the Tivoli in brushed steel matches this finish.
Is brushed steel the same as brushed nickel or stainless steel?
The names get used loosely and it causes real confusion. Brushed steel here describes the finish - a fine directional grain with a soft matt sheen. Stainless steel describes what the tap is made of, and this one genuinely is stainless throughout, not a coating over brass or zinc. Brushed nickel is a different thing again: a nickel plating, usually slightly warmer and yellower than steel. If you are matching an existing appliance, brushed steel sits closest to a stainless fridge or range hood, which is normally why people choose it.
Does ETAL list this finish under a different name?
Sometimes, and it is worth knowing before you compare listings. ETAL is ELLSI's own registered trademark rather than a separate manufacturer, so the tap is the same part either way - PDT-000454C. What varies between stockists is the finish wording: the same brushed steel gets written up as brushed nickel, satin steel or simply stainless depending on who is selling it. Match on the part number rather than the finish name and you will not go wrong.
Will it match my stainless steel sink and appliances?
Closely, though not identically. Brushed steel is a finish applied to the tap, while a sink is rolled stainless, so grain direction and sheen can differ slightly under direct light. In practice it reads as a match in a way polished chrome does not - chrome is mirror-bright and stands out against a brushed sink. If your sink, fridge and hood are brushed, this is the finish that disappears into them.
Does it come in other finishes?
Yes - the same Cato body in polished chrome at €75, matt black at €85 and brushed brass at €90. Chrome is the cheapest and the easiest to match to existing fittings; black hides water spots best.
Will it fit my sink, and what is included?
It fits a standard single 35 mm tap hole, so it is usually a direct swap for an existing mono mixer. Supplied with the pull-out spray hose, half-inch flexible tap connectors and a fixing kit. A waste is not included, and we do not stock kitchen sink wastes, strainers or traps at all - a tap change reuses what is already fitted.
