FAQs

What is the 'Top Fix' design?

The 'Top Fix' design allows you to install the tap from above the sink, making the process significantly easier and faster than traditional methods that require access from underneath.

What are ceramic disc valves?

Ceramic disc valves are highly durable valves that use two ceramic discs to control water flow. They provide a smooth operation and are more resistant to wear and leaks compared to traditional rubber seals.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

No, the tap comes with an Allen key and a specific Easyfit tool. Everything required for a standard installation is included in the box.

Can this tap be used with a combi boiler?

Yes, this tap is suitable for use with combination boilers, as it operates effectively across a range of water pressures.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

Bristan typically offers a long warranty on their taps, often 10 years or more, but please refer to the product documentation for the exact warranty terms.

How do I clean the black finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads to protect the finish.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Ensure the ceramic disc valves are correctly seated. If the problem persists, the valves may need replacement. Check that the tap is fully turned off.

Low water flow

Check the aerator at the end of the spout for blockages. Ensure the isolation valves are fully open. Check for any kinks in the flexi tails.

Tap is loose

Tighten the fixings from above the sink using the Easyfit tool or Allen key. Ensure the base is securely fastened to the sink.

Difficult to install

Review the step-by-step guide. Ensure all components are aligned correctly before tightening. The 'Top Fix' design should be straightforward; consult the included manual if needed.
