FAQs

What type of system pressure are these taps suitable for?

These taps are suitable for low-pressure systems, offering versatility for various plumbing setups.

What is the main benefit of ceramic disc technology?

Ceramic disc technology provides smooth operation and a longer tap life, eliminating the issues associated with worn-out rubber seals.

How do I clean the black finish?

Clean the black finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to prevent scratching. Mild detergent and thorough drying are recommended.

What are the dimensions of the bath spout and stop taps?

The dimensions are Height: 69mm, Depth: 218mm.

Are these taps easy to install?

These are wall-mounted taps, which typically require plumbing knowledge. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended.

What is the warranty period for these taps?

The taps come with a 20-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Do these taps come with different handle index options?

Yes, this model features black ceramic indices. A white ceramic index option is also available for this traditional range.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow from the spout

Check for blockages in the spout aerator or ensure the stop taps are fully open. Verify that the system pressure meets the tap's minimum requirements. If the issue persists, check the supply pipework for any kinks or obstructions.

Taps are dripping

The ceramic disc cartridge may require attention. Turn off the water supply and remove the handle. Inspect the cartridge for debris or damage. If necessary, the cartridge may need replacement. Refer to manufacturer guidelines or consult a plumber.

Difficulty turning the handles

Ensure the water supply is turned off. Remove the handles and check for any obstructions or debris around the valve stems. The ceramic disc cartridges might require lubrication or replacement if they are stiff.

Water leakage around the handles

Tighten the hexagonal collars slightly. If leakage persists, the internal seals or the ceramic disc cartridge may be compromised and require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These taps are designed for wall mounting. Installation typically involves connecting the inlets to the hot and cold water supply pipes within the wall. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure correct and safe fitting. Ensure all connections are secure before use.

Compatibility:

These taps are suitable for low-pressure water systems. They are designed to work with standard UK plumbing connections. Compatibility with specific bath filler systems or shower enclosures should be confirmed prior to purchase if not a direct bath spout replacement.

Care:

To maintain the sleek finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth. The black ceramic indices can be cleaned with a damp cloth; avoid harsh cleaning agents.
