Bridge mixer

A bridge mixer is a tap that pairs two separate taps with a connecting pipe that ends in a single spout. It offers the traditional look of pillar taps with the practical mixed flow of a mixer. Two holes are needed, and their centres must be spaced to match the tap exactly, so check the measurement in the tap's specification against the sink's holes, or against the worktop if it is fixed there.
