Bath Filler question

I have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar24i junior - wall hung gas-fired condensing boiler.

I would like to fit a 3 Hole Wall mounted chrome bath tap from Homebase part no...

http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=1607402

The hot water runs straight from the boiler to the taps, and not into any tanks, so my question is, would this bathtap work ok with this system?

The reason I ask is that the pressure from the boiler is not great and would not be high enough for many of the mixer system assembly's. Only my assumption I must say.
Kind regards
Bob

    Hi.

    It will pass water at the rate the boiler will deliver it, ie: not much.(9.8 l/m)

    It probably won't be any different to your existing tap.

    Canucklehead Thanks for your input.
    My concern was that this type of bath filler tap may have been fitted with a pressure device that need xbar to operate, from your answer you believe that it is just free flowing 9.8 l/m of water which is just fine with me.

    kind regards
    Bob
