- Bridge taps - A bridge tap is one that has two bases and requires two mounting holes. These taps will mostly be not suitable for a normal inset sink, this is because nearly all sinks have one mounting hole. For this reason they are used mainly with undermount and Belfast type sinks, where you have a large enough space at the rear of the sink for two mounting holes.
- Tap Brace - When fitting monoblock taps to stainless steel inset sinks you can find that when operating the levers or handles the tap will cause the sink to flex. This is normal because inset sinks are metal and it will flex. Franke have developed a Tap Brace that fixes to the base of the tap underneath the sink and then to your worktop buy either screws for wooden or laminate worktops or a sticky pad for granite and composite worktops. By clamping or bracing the tap to the worktop this eliminates the majority of the flex and will stop any warping to the metal.
