Different Types of Taps and Handles Explained

We take pride in providing world-class water filtration systems that fit in with our modern lives. With an in-house research and development team we are continually innovating to create industry-leading systems that make high-quality water easy, accessible and sustainable.

With Billi’s extensive tap range, there’s no need to compromise on style or practicality. Let’s explore the different types of taps and handles available, with a special focus on Billi’s innovative Multifunction Mixer Tap.

The Types Of Taps And Handles In The Billi Range

We offer two main types of taps in our range – the round or square slimline taps (available with the Billi Home C, Billi Home CS and Billi Home FT) and the more solid & compact B series taps. We also have an extended height square slimline tap which can make filling bottles and jugs easier too.

The B series taps are a lot shorter so can be considered less prominent or more out of sight and as these taps all come with the filtered boiling water option, some find them safer to use as well. However, all of the different types of tap handles and types of taps in our range have been designed with safety and ease of use in mind.

They are also all designed to compliment your home’s aesthetic and are available in a wide range of finishes to match any colour scheme – these include:

Billi Handle Options

The fun doesn’t stop at finishes, we have four main types of handles to choose from to suit every space:

• For high-use areas, the XL lever tap provides intuitive controls that are easy for anyone to operate. (available with the Home BC, Home BCS and Home BA)
• The XT Touch dispenser offers touch-sensitive operation for enhanced accessibility (available with the Home BA model)
• Single-levered handles available with our slimline taps
• Dual-lever handles (available with the Billi Home CS)

Other Dispenser Options

Slimline Taps for Compact Spaces

You’ve seen our iconic dispensers but there are other options for spaces with specific aesthetic or access requirements. Billi’s slimline taps cater to modern spaces where counter space is limited. Available in both round and square profiles, these taps seamlessly blend into minimalist designs. Finishes like chrome, matte black, and brushed chrome help them integrate effortlessly with any kitchen or workspace.

Square, Paddle, and Gooseneck Standalone Taps

Billi also offers standalone mixer taps, including the square mixer tap and paddle-levered mixer tap, that complement their water filtration systems. These taps provide design flexibility without compromising on performance, making them ideal for those seeking both sleek aesthetics and usability.

The gooseneck mixer tap is perfect for those needing extra clearance for filling large pots and containers. Its high-arching spout offers ample room, while the elegant design adds a modern touch.

The Innovative Multifunction Mixer

At the heart of Billi’s tap range is the Multifunction Mixer Tap, a breakthrough in both form and function. Designed to be a centrepiece of modern kitchens and compact spaces, this tap seamlessly blends mains-fed hot and cold water with instant filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling options—all in one compact, elegant unit.

This multifunctionality makes our latest tap a space-saving solution that reduces clutter by eliminating the need for separate filtered and unfiltered fixtures. Whether you need chilled sparkling water for refreshments, boiling water for cooking, or regular unfiltered water for washing up, the Multifunction Mixer Tap covers it all.

As if looking great and providing access to 5 types of water from one fitting wasn’t enough, the Multifunction Mixer Tap’s ergonomic controls are equipped with built-in safety features like colour-coded indicators to prevent accidental boiling water dispensing. Its compact, intuitive, and safe design makes it excellent in all home and high-traffic environments while a choice of eight finishes makes it easy to match any interior.
