A basin wall tap, also known as a wall-mounted basin tap or wall-mounted faucet, is a type of faucet that is installed on the wall above a basin or sink. Unlike traditional basin taps that are mounted on the sink or countertop, wall taps offer a sleek and minimalist design that can help save space and provide a clean look in the bathroom or kitchen.

Basin wall taps typically consist of a spout and one or two handles for controlling the flow and temperature of the water. The spout extends horizontally from the wall, allowing the water to flow directly into the basin. The handles are usually positioned beneath the spout or on either side, depending on the design.

One of the main advantages of basin wall taps is the convenience they offer in terms of cleaning. Since the tap is mounted on the wall, it leaves the basin or sink area clear of any obstructions, making it easier to clean the area and maintain hygiene.

Installation of a wall tap requires appropriate plumbing connections within the wall, including water supply lines and drainage. It is important to ensure that the wall is strong and capable of supporting the weight of the tap, especially if it is a heavy or large model.

Basin wall taps come in various styles, finishes, and materials to suit different aesthetic preferences and complement the overall design of the bathroom or kitchen. Some models may also include additional features such as adjustable water flow, temperature control, or integrated aerators for water conservation.
