Water-Saving Edit

We all know we need to reduce our water consumption, but this isn’t always easy. That’s why Tap Warehouse have created a collection of products designed to help you save water in your bathroom or kitchen everyday. Look out for flow regulators which will reduce the amount of water going through your shower head and dual flush toilets, which allow you to choose a water saving reduced flush. With shower heads, taps, toilets & more in a range of styles, you can reduce water usage throughout your whole home.

Soil Pipe Direction:
This details which direction the soil pipe can run from the rear of the toilet.

Horizontal: the soil pipe can run directly into the wall behind the pan.

Vertical: the soil pipe can turn 90 degrees and run vertically into the floor.

Left or Right: the soil pipe can run either side from the rear of the pan, which is then typically boxed in.

This is for guidance only and not intended as a substitute for visual/physical checks; the size and type of your pan connector/pipework will have an impact on whether or not there is sufficient clearance.

Minimum Water Pressure

Your water pressure depends on your home's water system. It’s important to consider water pressure when buying a new tap or shower. Buying a product with a minimum water pressure that’s too high for your home will result in poor performance.

- With a combi boiler you can usually expect between 1 and 2 bar

- With a gravity system (cold water tank in attic) you may have as little as 0.1 or 0.2 bar upstairs, and perhaps 0.5 bar downstairs

- With a high pressure unvented system (hot water cylinder, no cold water tank) you will generally have between 1 and 3 bar

You can install an item with a low minimum pressure rating on a high pressure system, but avoid installing an item with a high minimum rating on a low pressure system! Read our guide to water pressure to learn more.
