How far apart do the holes need to be?
Eight inches centre to centre is the common spacing, but workshops build to others and a sink drilled for a single tap cannot take a bridge at all. Measure what you have before shopping.
Are they harder to clean?
Yes. Every joint and elbow collects splashes and limescale, so in a hard water area a bridge tap is a weekly wipe rather than a monthly one. That is the trade for the look.
Deck mounted or wall mounted?
Deck mounted is the straightforward retrofit. Wall mounted keeps the counter clear and is easier to clean around, but the pipework has to be in the wall before tiling, so it belongs to a full renovation.
Measure the holes before anything else
A bridge tap spans two holes at a fixed distance apart, and that distance is not negotiable. Eight inches centre to centre is the common one, but workshops build to other spacings and a sink drilled for a single tap cannot take one at all. Measure what you have, then shop.
Why people want them
The exposed pipe between hot and cold is the whole look. It reads as a piece of plumbing rather than an appliance, and in unlacquered brass it patinas along its length, which is more interesting than a single spout. It also sits high, so filling a tall pot is easy.
The trade is cleaning. Every joint and elbow collects splashes and limescale, and a bridge over a kitchen sink needs wiping more often than a single hole tap. In a hard water area, that is a weekly job rather than a monthly one.
Deck or wall
- Deck mounted sits on the counter or the sink itself and is the straightforward retrofit.
- Wall mounted keeps the counter clear and makes cleaning behind the sink easier, but the pipework has to be in the wall before tiling, so it is a decision for a full renovation rather than a swap.
What to ask the workshop
Spout height and reach in numbers, not adjectives. The water wants to land near the middle of the bowl, and the spout wants to clear whatever you wash. Also ask about the cartridge, because a bridge tap has two of them and both have to be replaceable years from now.
