long reach taps for Belfast sink?
- Thread starter jcr

do you mean the depth of the thread on the tap going through the worktop or the length the tap will reach into the sink? If it the latter then i was in the same boat and just had to give up in the end and settle, you could always go to a specialist kitchen shop and look at what they have on display if there are any open in your area
thanks for replying. its the threaded part of the tap that connects to the water pipe that comes up about an inch short on standard taps due to the wooden worktop.

Ah it sounds like you have a basin style tap. How big is the base of the tap?
An option would be to bore the hole slightly larger and attach some flexi hoses to the ends.
Another option is to rout out the bottom of the work top so you can fit the hoses from the bottom and not cut through to the top.
The above link looks fine if you are after that look. Typically kitchen taps are mono block type and you don’t tent to run into these issues on that style.

Could use a spade drill bit from underneath the work top
Though carefully obviously if you only have 15mm spare
