Full details
The Bristan Sentinel Double Handle Monobloc Mixer Tap is an ideal choice for homeowners and professionals seeking a reliable, heavy-duty fixture for kitchens or utility rooms. It offers the benefit of precise water control through its dual-lever system and a premium brushed nickel finish that resists everyday wear; however, its traditional monobloc design requires a single-hole sink configuration, which may not be compatible with older three-hole kitchen setups without an adapter plate.

Does it come with flexible tails?
Yes, the tap includes high-quality flexible connecting pipes for easier installation.
What material is the tap made from?

How do I clean the brushed nickel?

Are replacement parts available?
As a standard Bristan product, replacement cartridges and seals are widely available through authorized plumbing distributors.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow from the spout
Check the flexible tails for any kinks or obstructions. Also, verify that the isolation valves under the sink are fully opened.
Dripping tap handle
The valve cartridge may require tightening or replacement. Ensure the water supply is turned off before attempting to access the internal cartridge.
Loose tap base
Tighten the fixing nut located on the threaded bar beneath the sink to ensure the tap is firmly seated against the basin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: This tap is designed for standard monobloc sink holes. Before beginning, ensure the existing sink has a single cutout. Use the provided flexible tails to attach the tap to your hot and cold water supplies. Ensure all seals are correctly positioned to prevent leaks.
Compatibility: This model conforms to BS EN 200 standards, making it compatible with most standard UK plumbing systems. Always check your water pressure requirements before installation to ensure the unit functions at its full potential.
Care Instructions: To maintain the finish, clean the tap with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Avoid using abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the nickel finish and void the BS EN 248 compliance aesthetics. Dry the tap with a microfiber cloth after use to prevent water spot accumulation.
