Why it is renowned

VOLA dates the design of the HV1 to 1968, the year of its first taps.1 It is one of three Jacobsen originals, with the 111 and the KV1, whose proportions the later parts of the range keep.2

The story

The HV1 is a one-handle mixer for the basin, with ceramic disc technology and a fixed spout fitted with a water-saving aerator. It stands 120 mm high, takes a 3/8 inch pipe and fits a 32 mm hole.3
