Description – Klässich 55 Series Sink Mixer - Matte Black

The Klässich 55 Series Sink Mixer - Matte Black combines contemporary kitchen styling with practical all-pressure functionality. Designed for everyday household use, it provides straightforward water control while adding a distinctive modern feature to the kitchen sink area.

Its matte black finish provides a clean and sophisticated appearance that works particularly well with contemporary kitchen interiors. It can coordinate with black sinks, cabinet handles, appliances and matching fixtures or provide an attractive contrast against lighter cabinetry, stainless steel and stone surfaces.

The U-shaped profile provides useful clearance above the kitchen sink. This gives users practical working space for washing dishes, rinsing produce, filling containers and completing regular cleaning tasks.

For kitchens where larger cookware or containers are frequently used, the raised U-shaped profile can also provide additional room beneath the outlet compared with lower-profile tapware.

The mixer is manufactured with a brass body and handle, providing a solid construction for regular household kitchen use.

A 25mm KCG cartridge supports convenient control of water flow and temperature. This allows straightforward adjustment between hot, cold and mixed water according to different everyday kitchen requirements.

Two G1/2 x 400mm flexible stainless steel braided hoses provide the required water inlet connections. Their flexible construction supports installation within a suitable kitchen plumbing configuration.

One of the strongest practical advantages of the Klässich 55 Series is its all-pressure compatibility. The mixer is designed for suitable high and low-pressure plumbing systems, making it a versatile option for different New Zealand household water configurations.

Under high-pressure conditions, the mixer carries a 4 Star WELS rating and provides a specified flow rate of 7.5L/min at 250kPa.

Under low-pressure conditions, the mixer carries a 6 Star WELS rating and provides a specified flow rate of 4.5L/min.

These pressure-specific specifications make it easier for homeowners and installers to understand the expected water performance according to the available plumbing system.

The 6 Star WELS rating under low-pressure conditions provides particularly efficient water performance within that pressure category. Under high pressure, the 4 Star rating and 7.5L/min flow rate provide practical everyday water delivery for regular kitchen activities.

All-pressure compatibility can be particularly useful when renovating an existing New Zealand home. Rather than selecting tapware designed exclusively around one pressure category, customers can consider the 55 Series across suitable high and low-pressure applications.

For drinking water applications, the brass construction meets updated requirements under New Zealand Building Code Clause G12, Acceptable Solution G12/AS1 Amendment 14.

The brass has a maximum weighted average lead content of no more than 0.25 percent, meeting the applicable threshold for products intended for drinking water. It also complies with NSF/ANSI/CAN 372:2020.

The construction is additionally dezincification resistant and tested to AS 2345:2006. DZR brass is designed to withstand corrosion associated with drinking water systems.

These characteristics are particularly important for kitchen tapware because the mixer may regularly supply water for drinking, food preparation and cooking in addition to everyday washing and cleaning.

For renovation projects, the matte black finish provides an easy way to modernise the appearance of an existing sink area. It can become part of a coordinated black fixture scheme or provide contrast against lighter kitchen finishes.

In new-build kitchens, the mixer can coordinate with contemporary cabinetry, modern sinks and matching black kitchen hardware to create a cohesive interior.

The combination of U-shaped styling, all-pressure compatibility, efficient water performance and compliant brass construction makes the Klässich 55 Series Sink Mixer a practical option for a wide variety of New Zealand kitchens.
