Kitchen Sink Mixer Pillar Tap

A kitchen sink mixer is a tall, deck-mounted tap that blends hot and cold water and swivels out of the way of big pots. Many add a pull-out or pull-down spray head for rinsing vegetables, filling tall pots and cleaning the sink. At Big Bath our kitchen mixers come in chrome, matt black and brushed-gold finishes, across 10 showrooms nationwide.

Types of Kitchen Sink Mixers

Pillar (Single-Lever) Mixers

One tall spout and one lever for flow and temperature — the everyday standard, simple and reliable.

Pull-Out / Pull-Down Spray Mixers

The spout head pulls out on a hose to direct the spray anywhere in (or just above) the sink — ideal for rinsing produce, cleaning, and filling tall pots.

Two-Handle Mixers

Separate hot and cold handles with a central spout — a more traditional look.

How to Choose the Right Kitchen Sink Mixer (Quick Checklist)

1. Pull-out or fixed spout? Pull-out is far more useful for rinsing and cleaning; a fixed spout is simpler and cheaper.
2. Check the tap holes. Most sinks have one hole for a mixer; if yours has two or three, choose a two-handle set instead.
3. Spout height and reach. A taller spout clears big pots; check the reach covers the bowl, especially on a double sink.
4. Hot water? If you want hot water at the sink, make sure a water heater or hot supply is plumbed in.
5. Coordinate the finish. Chrome, matt black or brushed gold to match your kitchen style.

Kitchen Sink Mixer Features to Look For

• Pull-out / pull-down spray — direct the water where you need it.
• Solid brass body — durable and corrosion-resistant.
• Ceramic-disc cartridge — drip-free, smooth lever.
• 360° swivel spout — clears the way for large pots.
• Matching finish — chrome, matt black or brushed gold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a kitchen sink mixer?

A tall, deck-mounted tap that blends hot and cold water through one spout, fixed to the kitchen sink or counter. Most have a single lever for flow and temperature, and many add a pull-out spray head.

Should I get a pull-out (spray) kitchen mixer?

Almost always yes. A pull-out or pull-down spray head lets you direct the water anywhere in the sink — rinsing vegetables, cleaning the bowl and corners, and filling tall pots. It is the single most useful feature on a kitchen tap.

How many tap holes does my sink need?

Most kitchen sinks have one hole for a single-lever mixer. If your sink has two or three holes, choose a two-handle mixer set instead. Check the sink's hole configuration before choosing the tap.

Will the spout clear my pots?

Check the spout height and reach. A taller, high-arc spout clears large stock pots; the spout reach should cover the bowl (or both bowls on a double sink). A 360° swivel spout helps on a double-bowl sink.

Can I have hot water at the kitchen sink?

Yes — if a hot-water supply (a small water heater or a line from the main heater) is plumbed to the mixer. Many kitchen mixers are ready for hot and cold; you just need the hot supply connected. Plan the heater when you fit the tap.

What finish should I choose?

Chrome is bright and easy to keep clean. Matt black and brushed gold suit modern kitchens — match the finish to your hood, hob and cabinet handles so the kitchen reads as a coordinated set.

Do you deliver and install kitchen sink mixers?

Yes. Big Bath has 10 showrooms nationwide and in-house installers across Peninsular Malaysia, with ready stock in Kota Kinabalu (Sabah) and Kuching (Sarawak). WhatsApp your nearest branch.
