Phoenix Kitchen Mixer Taps and Tapware

Phoenix kitchen taps cover the full range of sink mixers from one of Australia's most widely stocked tapware brands, including gooseneck, pull-out, and flexible-hose styles across multiple collections. This page covers every Phoenix kitchen mixer available at The Blue Space, with guidance on choosing the right spout type, finish, and range for your sink configuration.

What Phoenix kitchen mixer ranges are available?

Phoenix produces kitchen sink mixers across several distinct ranges, each with a different design language. The Vivid Slimline range is the brand's most versatile, offering gooseneck, pull-out, and multi-function variants in a slim-body format. Nostalgia brings a cross-handle aesthetic suited to traditional kitchens. Cromford, Radii, Mekko, and Rush each sit in a more contemporary bracket, while Arlo and Pina offer entry-level fixed-spout options.

Gloss Mk II extends the range into a polished, minimal profile. Each collection is engineered to the same WELS-certified standard, so the choice between them is primarily aesthetic and functional rather than quality-related.

Gooseneck vs pull-out: which spout type suits your kitchen?

A gooseneck mixer has a fixed high-arc spout that works well over deep single bowls and farmhouse sinks, where clearance above the basin is the priority. A pull-out mixer has a retractable spray head on a flexible hose, which adds rinsing reach and is more practical for double-bowl sinks or smaller bench cutouts. Phoenix offers both types within the Vivid Slimline and Nostalgia ranges, so finish and design can stay consistent regardless of which spout function you choose.

For benchtop sinks with limited overhead clearance, the Prize flexible coil mixer and Blix flexible-hose model are worth considering — both use a coiled or braided hose rather than a rigid spout arm.

What finishes does Phoenix offer for kitchen mixers?

Phoenix kitchen mixers are available in chrome, matte black, brushed nickel, and brushed gold across most ranges, with availability varying by model. Chrome remains the most widely stocked finish and suits stainless steel sinks directly. Matte black pairs with stone benchtops and dark cabinetry. Brushed nickel and brushed gold are available on the Vivid Slimline and Nostalgia ranges and coordinate with Phoenix bathroom tapware if you are running a consistent metal finish across the home.

Not every finish is available across every range — check individual product listings for current stock.

What WELS rating do Phoenix sink mixers carry?

Most Phoenix kitchen sink mixers carry a 4-star or 5-star WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) rating, which translates to a flow rate of roughly 7.5 litres per minute or less at a 4-star level. This is relevant in Australian states where WELS-rated tapware is required under the National Construction Code for new builds and renovations. The WELS rating and registered flow rate are listed on each product page.

How do Phoenix kitchen taps compare to other brands stocked at The Blue Space?

Phoenix sits in the mid-range bracket alongside Dorf and Greens, with pricing typically between $200 and $600 depending on model and finish. Meir and Nero sit above Phoenix in the premium bracket, with higher price points and a stronger focus on architectural or matte finishes. For buyers who want a recognisable, widely serviced Australian brand with broad finish and style coverage, Phoenix is a reliable middle-ground option.

If you are also selecting a kitchen sink, The Blue Space stocks a full range of kitchen sinks that can be paired with Phoenix mixers, along with pull-out sink mixers from multiple brands for comparison.

Can I replace or repair a Phoenix mixer tap myself?

Phoenix mixer taps use a ceramic disc cartridge, which is the standard repair component when a tap drips or loses pressure. Cartridges are brand- and model-specific, so you need the exact model number (printed on the tap body or in the original documentation) before ordering a replacement. Installation of a new cartridge is a licensed plumbing task in Australia under AS/NZS 3500, meaning a licenced plumber is required for any work on potable water supply lines, even if the mechanical task itself is straightforward.

What should I check before buying a Phoenix kitchen mixer?

Before purchasing, confirm three things: the number of tap holes in your sink or benchtop (most Phoenix mixers require a single 35mm hole), the depth of your sink bowl relative to spout height (a gooseneck needs at least 200mm clearance above the rim), and your water pressure (most Phoenix mixers are rated for mains pressure between 150kPa and 500kPa). Also check whether the finish you want is in stock at the time of ordering, as some colourways are made to order and carry a longer lead time.
