Compare your options
| Your situation | What to consider |
|---|---|
| Countertop bowl | Compare a tall deck-mounted tap with a wall-mounted model. Measure usable clearance above the basin rim. |
| Basin with tap hole | Tap-hole diameter, ceramic thickness and hose clearance must match the tap’s mounting requirements. |
| Wall-mounted tap | Set the basin position and finished wall thickness before rough-in. Spout length determines where the water lands. |
Details that change the result
Draw the water’s path
Mark the spout outlet, rim and basin floor on a section drawing. A very tall tap over a small shallow bowl deserves a splash check, even if both share the same style.
Look for a tested pairing
Hansgrohe ExcellentFit results document specific pairings tested for clearance and splashing. A tap’s ComfortZone name does not, by itself, validate every basin.
Complete the under-basin fittings
Check whether the basin has an overflow, then choose the appropriate waste. Draw the trap and hoses inside the cabinet: an internal drawer may occupy the same space.
