Abey Vela Range

We supply the Abey Vela range to renovators, builders and multi-res projects across Australia, matching tapware and accessories in the same finish so nothing looks bolted on after the fact. Beyond the finish, Vela is matched by fitting type: basin mixers, wall spouts and shower trims share the same lever design and pressure rating, so a full bathroom fit-out stays consistent room to room.

Explore Vela by type

• Basin mixers - standard and high-rise basin mixers in five finishes, built to match the rest of the tapware range.
• Wall sets and spouts - 165mm and 220mm wall spouts, sold alone or as a complete wall set.
• Shower mixers (trim kits) - external components that pair with a separate rough-in valve.
• Towel rails - 250mm and 600mm single rails, plus a 760mm double rail.
• Robe hooks and toilet roll holders - the small fittings that carry the finish through the rest of the room.
• Vela countertop basin - a rectangle vitreous china basin in white, with a matching plug and waste.

What we'd check before you buy

Vela's shower mixers and some wall sets are sold as trim kits only. That's the visible external plate and lever; the internal rough-in valve is a separate purchase, and the two need to be compatible before either goes in the wall. If you're renovating rather than replacing a like-for-like fitting, confirm the internal component with your plumber before you order.

Spout length matters more than it looks. A 165mm spout and a 220mm spout suit different basin set-outs and bath widths, so measure from the wall to the centre of your basin (or the edge of your bath) before choosing. Getting this wrong is one of the more common returns we see on wall-mounted tapware generally.

If you're matching Vela tapware to Vela accessories, the finish names line up exactly (Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Brushed Brass, Gunmetal, Black), so there's no guessing across the two - order the same finish name on both and they'll match.
