FAQs
What is the warranty period for this tap?
The Bristan Frammento Bath Shower Mixer Tap comes with a 10-year parts guarantee and a 1-year labour guarantee.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome finish using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads to prevent scratching.
What does '1/4 turn ceramic disc valves' mean?
This means that the tap only requires a quarter turn of the handle to go from fully off to fully on, providing smooth and precise control. Ceramic discs are durable and help prevent dripping.
Is this tap suitable for high or low water pressure systems?
This tap is designed for standard UK plumbing systems. While it is generally compatible with a range of pressures, optimal performance is usually achieved with balanced systems. Performance may vary on very low pressure.
Can I buy matching taps for this bath shower mixer?
Yes, co-ordinating bathroom taps are available in the Bristan Frammento range to create a unified look in your bathroom.
What is the weight of the tap?
The tap weighs approximately 5.49 pounds.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow from the handset
Check the handset's rub-clean nozzles for limescale buildup and clear them by rubbing. Ensure the hose connection is secure and there are no kinks in the hose. Verify that the filters within the tap connections are not blocked.
Tap is dripping when turned off
The ceramic disc valves may require cleaning or replacement. This usually involves shutting off the water supply, removing the handle, and accessing the valve cartridge. Consult a professional if unsure.
Difficulty turning the tap handles
Ensure there are no obstructions. If the handles are stiff, the internal ceramic disc valves might need lubrication or replacement. It's recommended to have this checked by a qualified plumber.
Water leaks from the base of the tap
Check that the metal fixing nut is securely tightened and that the seals underneath are intact and correctly positioned. Leaks can also occur from the connections to the water supply pipes.
