The handles are made from metal, providing added durability.

What size is the valve connection?

The taps feature a 1/2" valve.

How do I clean and maintain the taps?

What are the dimensions of the tap?

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

This is often due to worn seals or debris in the ceramic disc valve. Turn off the water supply, remove the handle, and clean the valve. If the dripping persists, the valve may need replacement.

Low water flow

Check the aerator (if fitted) for blockages. Ensure the isolation valves under the basin are fully open. If the issue persists, there might be a blockage in the supply pipework or within the tap itself.

Handle is stiff to operate

Mineral deposits can cause stiffness. Turn off the water supply, remove the handle, and clean around the valve stem. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can sometimes help, but avoid petroleum-based products.

Tap is noisy

Noise can sometimes be caused by water hammer or a loose component. Ensure the tap is securely fitted to the basin. Check that the water pressure is within normal limits for your system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with metal handles and back nuts.
  • Easy to use with 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves.
  • Versatile compatibility with all plumbing systems.
  • Modern and appealing silver chrome finish.
  • Simple lever operation is accessible for all users.

Cons

  • Specific 1/2" valve size may require confirmation for some installations.
  • Lever handles might be less intuitive for very young children or individuals with limited dexterity compared to a single knob.
  • Requires a basin with standard tap hole spacing.
  • Chrome finish, while attractive, can show water spots if not dried regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These taps are designed for standard basin installations. Ensure your basin has appropriate tap holes and that water connections are readily accessible. It is recommended that installation is performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct and safe fitting. The taps connect to standard 1/2" BSP connections, common in UK plumbing.

Compatibility: The Bristan Blitz Basin Taps are suitable for all plumbing systems, including gravity-fed, pumped, unvented, and fully modulating systems. The 1/2" valve ensures standard connection.

Care: To maintain the shine of the chrome finish, regularly wipe the taps with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
