FAQs

What is the recommended operating pressure for this tap?

The Astini Mayhill tap is recommended to operate at a minimum pressure of 1 Bar for optimal performance.

What does the 3-year manufacturer's guarantee cover?

The guarantee covers manufacturing defects. It does not cover damage from improper installation, misuse, accidental damage, discoloration from UV light, or general wear and tear on working parts like valves and seals. Working parts have a separate 6-month warranty.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean the tap with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and harsh chemicals. Always dry the tap thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Is the pull-out hose easy to replace?

The pull-out hose is designed to be durable, but if replacement is needed, it typically involves unscrewing the old hose from the tap body and connecting the new one, following the manufacturer's specific instructions.

What type of valve does this tap use?

This tap features a quarter-turn replaceable ceramic valve, known for its durability and smooth operation.

Can I use this tap with a low-pressure water system?

This tap is recommended for systems with a minimum operating pressure of 1 Bar. If your system pressure is lower, you may experience reduced performance. A compatible pressure-boosting system might be necessary.

What are the main dimensions of the tap?

The tap has a height of 450mm, a width (front to back) of 132mm, and a spout projection (reach) of 225mm. The spout height is 200mm.

Troubleshooting

Tap is not dispensing water or has very low flow.

Check that the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. Ensure the operating pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1 Bar. Inspect the aerator for debris and clean if necessary. Verify that the pull-out hose is not kinked.

The pull-out spout is leaking.

Check the connection point of the pull-out hose to the main tap body and ensure it is securely tightened. Inspect the hose itself for any cracks or damage. If the leak persists, the internal seals may need replacement.

The lever feels stiff or loose.

If stiff, try cleaning around the base of the lever. If loose, the screw securing the lever may need tightening. For persistent issues with lever operation, the ceramic valve may require attention or replacement (covered under a 6-month warranty for working parts).

Discoloration of the brushed brass finish.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean only with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Ensure no abrasive cleaners are used.
