Are single flow mixer taps ok to fit on a kitchen sink, as long as check valves are fitted? Just want to confirm.
 
Yep , you only really need check valves when on gravity systems , doesnt really matter on combi systems
 
Thanks will have check valves as gravity hot and cold mains, just wonderd if this taps were ok for drinking water with the water mixing in the tap
 
Yes you will be fine , loads of taps do this . I guess they are a load easier to manufacture
