  Product Description
The Reich Samba is a workhorse mixer tap designed specifically for caravan and motorhome kitchens. This single lever tap gives you instant control over both hot and cold water temperature with just one hand, which matters when you're working in a confined space. The chrome finish looks smart on any sink, and the spout swivels and folds down to tuck neatly under your Smev or Thetford sink lid when not in use.

What sets the Samba apart is its built-in microswitch, which works seamlessly with your caravan's water pump. The microswitch activates the pump only when you actually use the tap, saving battery power and reducing unnecessary cycling. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic DIY skills, using the supplied 250mm flexi-hose tails with 10mm serrated fittings that connect directly to your existing water lines. The 33mm mounting hole fits standard caravan sink units without modification.

This tap handles the standard 6 bar maximum pressure found in most caravan systems, and the cartridge design means if the valve does wear out eventually, you can replace just the cartridge from the top without disconnecting anything. The only real limitation is that you'll need to ensure your hoses are in good condition, as any wear there will cause leaks rather than the tap itself. The 140mm spout is long enough to fill kettles comfortably, and the single lever action beats struggling with separate hot and cold knobs in a moving vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Reich Samba fit my caravan sink?
The Reich Samba is designed to fit Smev and Thetford sink units with glass lids. It requires a 30mm installation hole in your sink or counter top. The 33mm base diameter accommodates standard caravan sink preparations. Before purchase, verify your sink model or measure your existing installation hole to confirm compatibility.
What does the microswitch do on the Samba mixer tap?
The built-in microswitch activates your caravan water pump only when the tap lever is engaged. This on-demand operation prevents the pump from running continuously, which conserves battery power in your leisure vehicle. The microswitch is also easily replaceable from the top of the tap if it develops faults over time.
Can I control the temperature with just one hand?
Yes. The single lever design controls both water flow and temperature with one hand movement. Push the lever up or down to turn the water on and off, and rotate it left or right to adjust from cold to hot water. This single-handed operation is particularly useful in a moving caravan where you need stability.
Does the spout fit under my caravan sink lid?
The Reich Samba spout folds down to a height of 40mm when lowered, which fits beneath most caravan glass sink lids. This folding feature is essential for compact caravan kitchens where space is limited and you need storage access above the sink unit. Always check your specific lid clearance before installation.
What hose size do the 10mm serrated fittings connect to?
The 10mm serrated fittings on the Reich Samba connect to standard 10mm inner diameter flexible hose, commonly known as half-inch flexible hose in caravan systems. The serrated barb fitting creates a secure connection that resists slipping. The tap comes with 250mm pre-fitted flexi-hose tails ready for connection to your water system.
What is the maximum water pressure this tap handles?
The Reich Samba is rated to handle a maximum pressure of 6 bar, which is the standard specification for most caravan water systems. This pressure rating applies whether you are using a microswitch-activated pump system or a pressurised tank system. Exceeding this pressure may damage the internal cartridge and cause leaks.
Can I replace just the cartridge if the tap starts leaking?
Yes. The Reich Samba has a 25mm replaceable cartridge that can be accessed and replaced from the top of the tap without disconnecting the hoses or unmounting the tap from the sink. You simply remove the red and blue hot and cold indicators, then use an Allen key to release the cartridge housing. This design keeps maintenance simple and reduces the risk of leaks during repair.
