Arc

Discover the Arc Faucet Collection

The right bathroom tap combines precise control, practical installation and a design that complements the washbasin. The Arc collection by Jaquar features joystick basin mixers and selected fittings for basin, bath and shower applications. Its product range includes a joystick basin mixer, a joystick basin mixer with click-clack waste, and exposed parts for a joystick built-in in-wall manual valve.

The joystick operating mechanism gives the collection a distinct alternative to conventional lever-style taps. When selecting a joystick mixer, consider the basin configuration, mounting arrangement, required water connections and the dimensions of the fitting. These details help determine whether the product is suitable for the planned bathroom layout.

Arc products are listed in selected finishes, including chrome, black matt, black chrome, antique bronze, antique copper, graphite and stainless steel finish, depending on the product. The available options allow the tap to be considered alongside the basin, shower fittings and other visible bathroom hardware.

Explore the wider faucet collection to compare different operating mechanisms, mounting types and designs.

What Defines the Arc Range?

Arc includes joystick-operated basin mixers and components for selected in-wall manual valve arrangements. The collection is suited to projects where the chosen control mechanism and overall appearance need to work with the basin and wider bathroom design.

The joystick basin mixer is available as a standalone configuration, while a separate version is listed with click-clack waste. The range also includes exposed parts for a joystick built-in in-wall manual valve. These are different product types and should be selected according to the intended installation.

A basin mixer is a visible, frequently used fitting, so its selection should account for more than its appearance. The spout needs to reach the usable area of the basin, the control needs adequate operating clearance, and the mounting arrangement must match the basin or countertop.

Product configurations can vary. Check the precise product code, supplied components, dimensions and technical information before specifying an Arc fitting.

Understanding Joystick Basin Mixers

What Is a Joystick Faucet?

A joystick faucet uses a joystick-style control to operate the water supply. Rather than using a conventional lever shape, the control has a distinct form that influences the look and handling of the tap.

The Arc joystick basin mixer offers this control style for the basin area. Its suitability depends on the installation, the basin dimensions and the operating arrangement described in the product information.

When choosing a joystick mixer, consider the available space around the control. The user should be able to operate it comfortably without the basin rim, wall or nearby accessories obstructing movement.

Joystick Basin Mixer

The Arc joystick basin mixer, listed under product code ARC-CHR-87011B, is a basin fitting with a chrome finish. It can be considered for basin installations that are compatible with its mounting and connection requirements.

Before selecting the model, review its product dimensions and installation details. Confirm the tap-hole arrangement, the position of the spout and the space available around the control. These checks are especially important when replacing an existing mixer or fitting the tap to a basin that has already been selected.

Joystick Basin Mixer with Click-Clack Waste

The Arc range also includes a joystick basin mixer with click-clack waste, listed under product code ARC-CHR-87011BCLW. This configuration combines the joystick mixer with a press-operated waste mechanism.

The waste fitting must be compatible with the basin's waste opening and plumbing arrangement. Check the product listing to confirm the supplied components, and ensure that there is sufficient access beneath the basin for installation and maintenance.

A click-clack waste is not required for every basin design. Select the arrangement that suits the basin and verify compatibility before ordering.

Choosing the Right Basin Tap Configuration

Consider the Basin Type

The basin determines many of the requirements for a mixer. A countertop basin, inset basin and under-counter basin may each require a different combination of tap height, spout reach and mounting arrangement.

Before choosing an Arc mixer, identify the basin type and check the position of its tap hole. Confirm that the spout will direct water into the usable area of the bowl and that the control can be operated comfortably.

Check Spout Reach and Height

The spout should reach far enough into the basin to provide practical clearance, without directing water too close to the edge. The required height depends on the basin's depth, rim height and shape.

Use the product dimensions to compare the fitting with the selected basin. If installation drawings are available, review them before finalising the tap position.

Review Mounting Requirements

The Arc range includes a basin mixer and separate components for an in-wall manual valve arrangement. These configurations should not be treated as interchangeable.

For a basin mixer, check the mounting surface and plumbing connections. For an in-wall valve, confirm the compatibility of the concealed body and exposed parts before installation. The wall depth and plumbing position must be appropriate for the selected system.

Arc In-Wall Manual Valve Components

Exposed Parts of a Joystick Built-In Valve

Arc includes exposed parts for a joystick built-in in-wall manual valve, listed under product code ARC-CHR-87233K. An exposed part forms the visible control element of an in-wall system, while the associated valve body is installed inside the wall.

This arrangement requires careful planning. The visible component must be compatible with the concealed valve, and the installation depth must suit the product. Before buying an exposed part, identify the exact in-wall body and verify the compatibility information.

Planning an In-Wall Installation

In-wall fittings can help create a less cluttered appearance around the basin or bathing area by locating selected components behind the finished wall. However, the plumbing and mounting positions must be established before the wall is completed.

The installer should confirm the valve body, required installation depth, water connections and position of the visible control. Access for servicing should also be considered in accordance with the product instructions.

Do not assume that exposed parts from different ranges can be combined with the same concealed valve. Confirm the product codes and compatibility requirements for the selected system.

Selecting a Finish for Arc Faucets

The finish affects how the tap relates to the rest of the bathroom. Arc product filters include selected options such as chrome, black matt, black chrome, antique bronze, antique copper, graphite and stainless steel finish. Availability can differ between individual products.

Chrome

Chrome has a reflective appearance that can work with many basin styles and interior palettes. It can coordinate with other chrome fittings or provide a neutral metallic detail against contrasting surfaces.

Black Matt

Black matt can create a clear contrast against a light basin, countertop or wall finish. It may also coordinate with dark cabinetry, mirror frames and selected accessories.

Black Chrome

Black chrome provides a darker reflective finish that can complement contemporary bathroom schemes. When coordinating it with other products, compare the finish descriptions rather than assuming that all dark metallic surfaces will look identical.

Antique Bronze and Antique Copper

These finishes can introduce warmer metallic tones into the room. They may work with warm neutral colours and selected decorative details. Check the precise finish availability for the intended product before finalising the specification.

Graphite and Stainless Steel Finish

Graphite offers a darker appearance, while stainless steel finish provides another metallic option. Consider how the chosen finish relates to the basin, wall surfaces and other visible fittings.

How to Coordinate Arc with the Bathroom Design

A basin mixer should complement the wider bathroom without compromising usability. The basin, tap, sanitaryware and accessories all contribute to the overall result.

Pairing with Basins and Sanitaryware

Start by matching the mixer to the basin's mounting arrangement and dimensions. The spout position should support comfortable use, while the control should remain accessible.

Explore the sanitaryware collection when planning the basin and other bathroom fixtures. Selecting compatible products at the planning stage helps reduce the risk of mismatched dimensions or installation requirements.

Coordinating with Shower Fittings

If the bathroom includes a shower, consider the relationship between the basin mixer and shower controls. The finish can provide a consistent visual link, while the exact product configuration should be chosen according to the plumbing layout.

Review the shower collection when specifying the bathing area. Confirm the intended outlet arrangement and compatibility of the chosen shower fittings.

Completing the Space with Accessories

Towel rails, robe hooks and other accessories should be positioned for convenient use without obstructing the basin or mixer control. Consider finish coordination as part of the overall scheme, but prioritise access, clearance and ease of cleaning.

Browse the wider bathroom collection to consider the different product categories involved in planning the space.

Installation and Maintenance

Before installation, verify the product code, mounting arrangement, connection requirements and dimensions. Follow the product-specific installation instructions and confirm that the plumbing system is compatible.

For a basin mixer, check that the fitting is securely mounted and that the spout aligns with the basin. After connection, inspect for leaks and test the control's operation. For the click-clack waste version, confirm that the waste opens and closes correctly.

For an in-wall valve system, verify the concealed body and exposed part compatibility before completing the wall finish. Confirm the installation depth and control position using the technical information for the exact product.

Clean the surface using a soft cloth and a method suitable for the finish. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals. Remove soap residue and water marks regularly, and follow the product's maintenance instructions. Persistent leaks or operating problems should be assessed by a qualified professional.
