Essco Jaquar (ORB-CHR-105005B) 600 mm Long Braided Hoses & Single Lever High Neck Basin Mixer without Popup Waste - Chrome

Key specs: brass construction, chrome plating with nickel-chromium finish and salt spray protection, single-lever control, 600 mm braided hoses included, high neck design, flow rate approximately 11.73 LPM at typical pressure, and a cartridge engineered for long life (tested for up to around 70,000 cycles).

Shut off the water supply, remove the old mixer, and align the new mixer with the basin. Connect hot and cold supplies to the 600 mm braided hoses using standard 1/2 inch (15 mm) fittings. Secure the mixer from beneath, seal any gaps, turn the water back on, and check for leaks. Clean any excess sealant, then test hot and cold operation to ensure smooth function.

A high-neck, modern basin or a vessel-style sink pairs well with this mixer. The 600 mm hoses give flexible routing for wall-mounted or wall-till installations. Ensure your basin’s deck thickness and inlet positions align with the mixer’s mounting hardware and reach.

The mixer delivers about 11.73 liters per minute under typical pressure conditions, offering steady, controllable flow for everyday use. While not labeled as a low-flow device, its fixed cartridge provides reliable performance with standard bathroom water pressures.

Durability comes from solid brass construction and nickel-chromium plating with salt spray protection, which resists corrosion. The brass spindle cartridge is designed for smooth operation and longevity, and the unit is tested for a high number of cycles to minimize leaks and wear.

Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or acidic/alkaline detergents that can dull the chrome. Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain the finish over time.

Yes. The 600 mm braided hoses are standard fittings, so you can replace them with compatible 1/2 inch (15 mm) braided hoses if required. Ensure any replacements maintain proper leak-proof seals and maintain the chrome finish.

This mixer is perfect for modern, stylish bathrooms with high-neck or vessel basins. It’s well-suited for guest bathrooms, powder rooms, hotels, or any space aiming for a contemporary look with reliable performance and flexible hose routing.

Ensure proper sealing at the mounting surface, use plumber’s tape on threaded connections where appropriate, tighten fittings to manufacturer-recommended torque, and verify hot/cold line connections are correct. After installation, slowly turn on water and check for leaks around the base, hose connections, and cartridge area.

A high-neck mixer typically offers more clearance above the basin, making it easier to wash hands and fill containers. It also provides a distinctive, modern look. A standard low-neck mixer may be more compact but offers less overhead space. Your choice depends on basin design, hardware alignment, and aesthetic preference.
