Product Information

Full details

This Bristan Echo Easyfit Mono Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap in Gun Metal is designed for homeowners seeking a simple, above-sink installation solution. Its key benefit is the patented Top Fix design, significantly reducing installation time and complexity, especially in tight spaces. A potential caveat is that it's a mono mixer, meaning hot and cold water are controlled by a single lever, which may not suit all user preferences. This tap features a durable construction, a swivel spout for enhanced usability, and long-lasting ceramic disc valves.

FAQs

What makes the Top Fix design unique?

The Top Fix design allows you to install the tap from above the sink, eliminating the need to access the often-cramped space underneath.

Do I need to buy any extra parts for installation?

No, the Bristan Echo Easyfit Mono Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap comes with all the necessary components included: Allen key, isolation valves, flexi tails, Top Fix Easyfit base, and Easyfit tool.

What is a mono mixer tap?

A mono mixer tap has a single lever that controls both the flow and temperature of the water, unlike a mixer tap with separate hot and cold handles.

How do I clean the Gun Metal finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage.

What is the benefit of ceramic disc valves?

Ceramic disc valves are highly durable and provide precise control over water flow and temperature with a smooth quarter-turn action. They are less prone to wear and leakage compared to traditional washered taps.

Can this tap be installed on any sink?

It is designed for standard sink tap holes and is particularly advantageous for sinks where access from below is difficult. Ensure your sink has a suitable single tap hole.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the base

Ensure the tap is securely fixed to the sink using the Easyfit tool. Check that the O-rings or seals within the Top Fix base are correctly seated.

Low water flow

Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Inspect the flexi tails and internal components for any blockages or debris. Ensure your main water supply is not restricted.

Tap handle is stiff or loose

For stiffness, the ceramic disc valve may require servicing or replacement. For looseness, check and tighten the handle fixing screw, typically located under a decorative cap.

Water won't turn on/off properly

The 1/4 turn ceramic disc valve may be faulty or obstructed. This typically requires replacing the valve cartridge.

  • Designed for convenience, suitable for DIY enthusiasts.

  • All necessary components are included in the box.

Cons

  • Mono mixer design controls hot and cold water with a single lever.
  • Gun Metal finish may require specific cleaning to maintain appearance.
  • Weight of 4.14 lbs might indicate robust construction but could be a factor for some installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Drop the Top Fix base into the tap hole from above the sink.
  2. Secure the base using the provided Allen key.
  3. Connect the supplied isolation valves and flexi tails to your water supply.
  4. Push the tap onto the secured base.
  5. Use the supplied Easyfit tool and screws to fix the tap firmly in place.

Compatibility:

This is a mono mixer tap, designed for standard sink tap holes. It connects to standard UK water supply fittings. Ensure your water pressure is adequate for optimal performance.

Care:

To maintain the Gun Metal finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface. For limescale buildup, a mild solution of water and vinegar can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
