Indigo Elite X tapware

The Elite Collection is Indigo's Elite X range of tapware, distinguished by its cross handle design. Rather than the lever handles found on many contemporary tap ranges, Elite X uses a cross shaped handle, giving the range a distinct look that can suit both traditional and more transitional bathroom and kitchen styles. This range spans 9 products from Indigo.

What sets Elite X apart

The cross handle is the defining feature of this range. It offers a different grip and visual style compared to single lever mixer taps, and tends to suit bathrooms or kitchens aiming for a slightly more classic or architectural feel rather than a minimalist lever look. Because the handle design is consistent across the range, choosing Elite X gives you a way to keep tapware style unified across multiple fittings in the same room.

New builds and retrofits

Elite X is suited to both new build projects and retrofit renovations. In a new build, the range can be specified from the outset alongside other fixtures. In a retrofit, it is worth checking the existing tap holes, mounting configuration and water connections in your bathroom or kitchen against the specific Elite X product you are considering, since matching an existing rough-in is usually the deciding factor in a retrofit rather than the tap style itself.

Buying considerations

  • Handle operation: a cross handle typically requires a slightly different turning motion to a lever, which is worth considering for households with elderly users or anyone who prefers a lever's single-motion operation.
  • Matching across the room: if you are fitting out a full bathroom or kitchen, selecting Elite X consistently across taps and any other compatible fittings will keep the cross handle detail as a cohesive design feature rather than an isolated one.
  • Retrofit compatibility: check your existing plumbing configuration, including tap hole spacing and connection type, against the specific Elite X product before ordering for a renovation.

Is Elite X right for your project

If you want tapware with a defined, cross handle look that works whether you are building new or updating an existing space, the Indigo Elite X range is worth reviewing. Confirming the exact product against your plumbing setup, particularly for a retrofit, will help ensure a straightforward installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Elite Collection the same as Indigo Elite X?
Yes, the Elite Collection on this site refers to Indigo's Elite X tapware range. It is named Elite X by Indigo, and the collection page groups the 9 products that make up this range.
What makes Elite X different from other tapware ranges?
Elite X is distinguished by its cross handle design, which sets it apart from ranges using single lever handles. This gives the tapware a more classic or architectural look compared to a minimalist lever style.
Can Elite X be used in a bathroom renovation, not just a new build?
Yes, Elite X suits both new builds and retrofit renovations. For a retrofit, it is important to check your existing tap hole spacing and plumbing connections against the specific product to confirm it will fit without extra rework.
Is a cross handle harder to use than a lever handle?
A cross handle requires a turning motion rather than the single push or lift motion of a lever, so it operates a little differently. This is worth considering if ease of use for elderly household members or accessibility is a priority.
How many products are in the Elite X range?
The Elite X range from Indigo currently includes 9 products, giving a reasonably focused set of tapware options that share the same cross handle design.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which basin mixer is right for my basin type?

The key factor is the height and style of your basin. For standard inset or semi-recessed basins, a regular deck-mounted basin mixer with a spout height of around 100–140mm works well. However, if you have an above-counter or vessel basin, where the bowl sits on top of the benchtop, you will need a tall basin mixer with a spout height of 180mm or more, otherwise the spout will sit below the basin rim and water will splash onto the benchtop. Wall-mounted mixers offer another option for above-counter basins, with the height controlled by your rough-in position. Always confirm basin rim height before purchasing your tapware.

What is a WELS rating and does it matter when choosing a basin mixer in Australia?

The Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme is a mandatory Australian government rating system that measures how water-efficient a tapware product is. Ratings run from 1 to 6 stars, the more stars, the less water the tap uses per minute. For basin mixers, a 5 or 6-star WELS rating is considered excellent and translates to meaningful long-term savings on water bills, particularly important in drought-prone Australian states. All tapware sold in Australia must carry a WELS rating, and most reputable brands now offer basin mixers rated 4 stars or higher as standard. Look for the WELS label on the product or packaging before you buy.

What is the difference between a bath mixer and a basin mixer?

While bath mixers and basin mixers may look similar, they are not interchangeable. The key technical difference is the water supply connection size. This difference matters because filling a bathtub requires a significantly higher flow rate, a basin mixer simply cannot deliver water fast enough to fill a bath in a reasonable time. Always use tapware specified for bath applications when fitting out a bath, and consult your plumber if you are unsure.

What is a shower mixer and how does it work?

A shower mixer (or shower tap) is the control valve that regulates the flow and temperature of water to your shower. A single-lever mixer controls both temperature and flow with one handle. A thermostatic mixer maintains a pre-set water temperature even if pressure changes elsewhere in the system, a safer and more convenient option, particularly for households with children. Shower mixers in Australia must comply with AS 3718 standards.

What is a rail shower and why is it popular in Australian bathrooms?

A rail shower (also called a slider rail shower or shower rail kit) includes a hand shower mounted on an adjustable rail, allowing users to slide the shower head up or down to their preferred height. Rail showers are among the most practical and versatile shower options available, they suit users of different heights, are ideal for bathing children, and are easy to use for rinsing down shower walls. They are widely used in family bathrooms across Australia.

What is a rail shower with overhead and how does it work?

A rail shower with overhead shower combines a fixed overhead shower head at the top of the rail with a sliding hand shower below. A diverter valve (either integrated into the rail or fitted separately at the mixer) allows you to switch water flow between the overhead and the hand shower. This combination delivers the best of both worlds, the immersive feel of a rain shower with the flexibility of a hand shower.
