FAQs
What is the 'Top Fix' system?
The 'Top Fix' system allows the tap to be installed from above the sink, making the process simpler and quicker as it requires less access and maneuvering underneath the sink.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Yes, the tap comes with an Allen key and an 'Easyfit' tool specifically designed for its installation. Flexi tails are also included, which usually connect to standard plumbing fittings.
What is the advantage of ceramic disc valves?
Ceramic disc valves are known for their durability and smooth operation. They provide a tight seal, preventing drips, and typically last much longer than traditional rubber washer systems.
Can I use this tap with a low-pressure water system?
While the tap is designed for general use, optimal performance is achieved with adequate water pressure. Consult the product specifications or a plumber if you have a very low-pressure system.
How do I clean the bronze finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads.
What is included in the box?
The box contains the tap, two isolation valves, flexi tails, an Allen key, the Top Fix Easyfit base, and the Easyfit tool.
Is this tap suitable for a washing machine or dishwasher?
This is a standard kitchen sink mixer tap and is not typically designed with a specific outlet for a washing machine or dishwasher. Separate connections would be required.
Troubleshooting
Tap is leaking from the base.
Ensure all fixings are securely tightened. Check that the seals on the base and isolation valves are properly seated.
Low water flow.
Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Inspect the flexi tails and the tap's internal ceramic disc valves for any debris or blockages. Clean the aerator if applicable.
Tap handle is stiff.
The ceramic disc valves may require lubrication or replacement if wear is significant. Ensure no debris has entered the valve mechanism.
Difficulty installing the 'Top Fix' base.
Ensure the tap hole is clean and free of obstructions. Verify the correct orientation of the Easyfit base before securing.
