1-hole kitchen tap with handle: classic controls

The classic when it comes to control technology is the kitchen tap with a lever handle that does it all: turning the water off and on and controlling the temperature. Single lever taps are well-known and popular. So it should come as no surprise that they are the most frequent design variant in our range. At hansgrohe, a handle isn’t just a handle: We offer three different handle designs. Which one do you like best?

  • The ergonomic, flat-shaped handle is easy on the hands with every use. The ‘twisted’ design is easy to grip and enables you to accurately adjust the water volume and temperature. This nicely shaped, elongated handle can be found in the hansgrohe Metris M71 tap range.

  • The large handle is sturdy, safe and convenient to use, even when things are hectic in the kitchen or your hands are dirty, soap or slippery. The handle is always easy to grip and safe to use. This handle type can be found on the hansgrohe Focus M41 and Talis M51 tap ranges.

  • The vertical, upright pin handle impresses users with its delicate sleekness. It features a modern and minimalist design and is perfect when space at the sink is limited. This elegant stylus can be found on the hansgrohe Talis M52 tap range.

When space is tight: Choose space-saving handle positioning

Is there limited space between the wall/window and sink unit tap in your kitchen? No problem. Opt for a tall tap with a high arc spout and vertical pin handle, such as the Talis M52. Or a Focus M42 150 single lever kitchen tap with a horizontal handle on the tap. Most of these taps are compact and feature large handles. Another practical feature is the tilt function for installation in front of a window.

Two jet types: a lavish way to wash vegetables 

You want a tap with two jet types that showers like a pro? Understandable. hansgrohe boasts a wide variety of models to suit your needs. You can conveniently select the jet type of your choice on the practical diverter button on the tap’s spout: The universal laminar spray can fill even the largest of containers quickly and efficiently. The shower spray is soft, efficient and splash-free as it is mixed with air (AirPower) – perfect for rinsing vegetables, fish or meat.

The Focus M41, a tall 1-hole kitchen tap with a large handle, is always sturdy, safe and easy to use. Even if your hands are dirty or slippery.

Kitchen tap with Select push button: optimum workflow at the touch of a button

A button is the ultimate control element for the modern kitchen. But not just any button, the hansgrohe Select push button. It can be found on the tap’s spout and used to start and stop the flow of water when doing chores – the convenient and targeted way to work with water.

Single-handed operation gets the thumbs up

The Select push button gives you extra flexibility when doing chores and provides the ultimate in ergonomics. How to turn the water on and off: One touch = water flow is interrupted. Another touch = water flow is continued. You can control the Select push button conveniently using your fingers, the back of your hand, your thumbs or your arm – whatever is handy when you’re in the middle of doing chores. So you always have one hand free to hold a bowl, jug or plant. The innovative Select technology also helps you to conserve resources. As the water can be precisely controlled and quickly turned off at the touch of a button, it is also very eco-friendly.

Select tap with pull-out spray: flexible and ready for action

The smart button is always on top form on Select taps with a practical pull-out spout, which can be extended by up to 76 cm and is so lightweight and straight that you won’t even need to rotate your wrist. You can use the flexible spout to take the water supply to your worktop or window sill or reroute it to the neighbouring sink basin. The latest upgrade for the hansgrohe Talis M51 and Metris M71 kitchen tap ranges is 2Spray Select, a control function that enables you to start/stop the water (using the Select push button) on the pull-out spray AND switch to a different jet type there (using the diverter button). Everything flows well with these one-handed controls. If you’re interested in a pull-out spout or pull-out spray, take a look at the sBox, which tidies up the kitchen sink cabinet and ensures that the hose glides smoothly.

2-hole kitchen tap: a genuine kitchen sensation with a separate control unit

Every move is perfectly executed thanks to a separate control element. It makes the workflow flow, it saves time and it makes cooking and using the sink even more enjoyable.

Do you want controls that are casual and intuitive with the water in your kitchen? Controls that have nothing to do with a smartphone? Controls that have the whole family scrambling to wash up? Then why not have a separate control element installed in the front rim of the sink? The water can then be controlled by everybody. Even if just in passing. Even with the elbow! This is a really nice feature to have when holding a large pot in both hands with soapy or wet fingers. hansgrohe has redefined ergonomics at the kitchen sink with two models.

Click and span: the Select push button on the rim of the sink is fun to operate  

Model 1: An extra hansgrohe Select is installed in the rim of the sink. This separate Select push button can be placed anywhere you like, to suit right-handed or left-handed users, for example. The control element is flush-mounted in a second hole - in the front rim of the sink, for example. You can start and stop the water flow at any time, at the touch of a button. If you turn the Select push button, it opens the waste set in the sink basin to drain the water from the sink in no time at all. With this model, you can initially set the required water volume and temperature on your tap’s ergonomic handle. With models with two jets on the pull-out spout, users can select the jet type using a diverter button on the tap’s spout.
 

Off its rocker? Manage water from the sink rim using a rocker lever

Model 2: A separate rocker lever is installed in the rim of your sink – an elegant alternative to having a handle on your kitchen tap. This gives your sink a highly modern, minimalist look and is ultra-easy to use. The rocker lever initially activates the water flow at the sink. The water volume can be controlled by tipping the handle, while the water temperature is controlled by smoothly turning the handle. With this model, you can use the tap’s Select push button to start or stop the water at any point. It is intuitive while you use your kitchen tap. When the kitchen chores are done, you can stop the water flow using the rocker lever.
