Ikea Lagan Tap

hi...

anyone here know whether IKEA's Kitchen sink tap is compatible with most local pipings or it's special size.

I find this a good deal becoz most kitchen kitchen taps will easily cost 100 over dollars. Even a normal kitchen sink tap without mixer would easily cost over 50bucks. my only worry is that whether IKEA is using special size fittings.

should be compatible as my friend's place has this

but the sink is from ikea too

piping should have a problem, the plumber should know what to do

if i'm not wrong, most taps are compatible with most sinks and vice versa

maybe you want to buy the tap and bring it along while sink-hunting

since ikea offers 30-day refund policy

if you are having a new sink and you purchase the sink at elsewhere, there are no sink tap holes provided.

there are 2 options:

1st, bring your tap to the hardware shop where you bought your sink and get the people there to drill a hole for your tap.

2ndly, give the holeless sink and tap to your contractor. they will do all the necessary work. but do check with your contractor 1st, they are able to give you a better guide.

and if you hv an existing sink, suggest you turn off the water supply to your that particular sink and dismantle your current tap. but dismantling the tap need some study into.

if your tap is easily dismantle due to its design and the space allowed at the bottom of the sink where the tap and pipe connects, den you only need a normal spanner to turn it to dismantle it. but you need to hv the right pattern (the correct 'seh') in dismantling the tap.

but if your tap space underneath the sink is too cramp, you need a box spanner to dismantle which can be bought at hardware shop.

so its best to get your contractor to do it coz he will hv all sorts of tools to do it.

ermm... wat i meant was the diameter of the threading on the tap. most of our hdb taps come with a standard size. (i.e. if u buy any tap from any hardware shop, u'll be able to screw them in without any problem.)
