The DUSC Core Side Lever Basin Mixer Tap in Gunmetal is a dark, sophisticated gunmetal side-lever mono basin mixer tap from DUSC's premium Core brassware collection. Combining a hard-wearing gunmetal finish with smooth, reliable engineering, it delivers a designer look and dependable everyday performance. It's backed by a lifetime manufacturer's guarantee.
The DUSC Core Side Lever Basin Mixer Tap operates from a minimum of just 0.5 bar, so it suits the majority of UK homes — including combi-boiler and mains-pressure systems, plus most gravity-fed setups. Maximum operating pressure is 5 bar. If your gravity system runs below 0.5 bar, a shower/whole-house pump will give the best performance.
Yes. This DUSC Core tap is WRAS-approved, meaning it meets the UK Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards for material safety and performance with drinking water — your assurance it is safe to install on a UK mains supply.

Gunmetal grey is dramatic and moody — a designer favourite. It contrasts superbly with pale stone, white sanitaryware and bold feature tiles, lending a high-end, masculine edge to contemporary and industrial bathrooms.
Fits a standard tap hole and connects via the supplied flexible tails to your hot and cold supplies. Straightforward for a competent DIYer, though we always recommend a qualified plumber for a clean, leak-free installation.
