Bathroom sink faucet Hansgrohe M42 in chrome, single-hole mixer, model 71814000

Hansgrohe M42 in chrome is a single-hole, single-lever bathroom sink faucet designed for standard basin installations. The polished chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and a smooth surface that integrates with contemporary bathroom fittings. The mixer offers intuitive temperature and flow control and is suitable for residential sinks and renovation projects where a compact, reliable basin tap is required.

Advantages

The Hansgrohe M42 mixer combines a compact design with practical functions: a ceramic cartridge for precise and durable control of water temperature and flow, an anti-limescale QuickClean surface feature for easier maintenance, and a chrome finish that is easy to clean. Its ComfortZone dimensions and a 120° swivel range support comfortable daily use while the integrated non-return valve and compatibility with continuous-flow water heaters ensure safe operation in many installations.

Suitable for

• Standard bathroom basins requiring a single-hole mixer
• Residential kitchens or bathrooms in renovation projects seeking a compact chrome tap
• Installations where compatibility with continuous-flow (instant) water heaters is required
• Users who prefer a mixer with straightforward temperature and flow control

When it may not be suitable

This single-hole mixer is not suitable for basins that require a multi-hole or wall-mounted tap. It may not be appropriate where very high flow rates are needed, as the specified flow rate is 10 l/min under standard conditions. Professional verification of connection compatibility and hole diameter is necessary before purchase.

How to use

Install the Hansgrohe M42 mixer into a single Ø 35 mm tap hole on the basin or countertop following manufacturer's installation guidelines.

Periodically wipe the chrome surface and use the QuickClean silicone nubs to remove limescale deposits from the aerator area to maintain performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your basin or countertop has a single Ø 35 mm tap hole.
• Verify supply line connections are DN15/G compatible.
• Confirm required flow rate and compatibility with your hot water system (suitable for continuous-flow heaters).
• Consider clearance for the 120° swivel range and ComfortZone 150 dimensions in your installation area.

Usage recommendations

For sustained performance, avoid abrasive cleaners on the chrome surface; wipe regularly with a soft cloth and use the QuickClean feature to remove limescale from the aerator. If in doubt about plumbing connections or compatibility, consult a qualified fitter to confirm correct installation and secure sealing.
