Product Information

Full details

The Blanco Jax Kitchen Mixer Tap in Silver is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of contemporary aesthetics and practical functionality. Its key benefit is the high-arch swivel spout, offering an enlarged working radius for effortless filling of large pots and vases. A potential caveat is its requirement for a single tap hole, which may limit installation in some existing sink setups. This mixer tap features a durable brass construction with a polished chrome finish, twin-lever controls for precise water adjustment, and suitability for low-pressure systems.

FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Blanco Jax tap?

The Blanco Jax Kitchen Mixer Tap comes with a 5-year manufacturer guarantee. This includes 2 years on moving parts and 1 year on the finish.

Can this tap be used with a combi boiler?

Yes, the tap is suitable for combination boilers as it operates effectively on low-pressure systems down to 0.3 bar.

What is the spout height and reach?

The spout height is 283 mm, and the spout reach is 209 mm.

How many tap holes does this mixer require?

This mixer tap is designed for installation in a single tap hole.

What material is the tap made from?

The tap is constructed from durable brass with a chrome-plated finish.

How should I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Always dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the maximum recommended water pressure?

The maximum working pressure for this tap is 5 bar.

Troubleshooting

Tap does not turn on or water flow is very low.

Check that the main water supply is turned on. Ensure the isolation valves under the sink are fully open. Verify that the minimum operating pressure of 0.3 bar is met. Clean any potential debris from the aerator or valve if flow is restricted.

Leaking from the base of the spout.

Ensure the tap is securely tightened to the sink/worktop. If the leak persists, the O-rings within the spout assembly may need replacement (refer to manufacturer's service parts if available).

Difficulty adjusting temperature or flow.

Ensure both hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected. The ceramic valves may have debris; attempt to flush the system or, if necessary, inspect/clean the valves following manufacturer guidelines.

Tap handle is stiff or loose.

Check the fixing screw for the handle. If stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant might be applied to the valve stem (refer to manual). If loose, tighten the screw.
