Frequently Asked Questions
A fixed spout stays in one position and directs water straight down, while a swivel spout can pivot, giving you more flexibility, handy if you need to fill up basin or fill up a bath.
A diverter spout has the diverter built into the spout itself, usually with a pull-up or push-pull mechanism, so you can switch between the spout and a shower or hand shower. A diverter mixer, by contrast, has the diverter built into the mixer body or trim, with a standard spout doing the rest.
Best option is to check if the spout is push fit or has standard half inch BSP thread, different manufacturer spout may not be suitable with different in wall bodies. Still, it's worth checking the inlet type and length on the product page against what you currently have before you buy.
It depends on your bath and where the spout sits in relation to it. Options in this range run from shorter 120mm spouts up to 260mm and beyond, so measure the distance from your wall or deck mounting point to make sure the spout reaches comfortably over the basin or into the bath.
Most are rated for a pressure range of around 150 to 500kPa, which covers standard mains and high-pressure Australian residential systems, though it's always worth double-checking the individual product specs before installing.
