Product Information

Full details

This Balterley Kingsey 3 tap hole basin mixer tap is designed for homeowners seeking to enhance their traditional or Victorian-inspired bathrooms with elegant, functional brassware. Its key benefit is the combination of classic aesthetic, durable construction with brass internals, and excellent flow rates, even at low pressures. A potential caveat is that it requires three tap holes, limiting installation to specific sink types. The tap features a classic Chrome finish, traditional crosshead handles, and white indices, offering a period design style that complements the matching Kingsey brassware range.

FAQs

Does this tap come with a flexible hose connection?

The product description focuses on the tap's design and materials; specific details about included flexible hoses would typically be found in the installation manual or product specifications sheet. However, most modern basin taps include flexible connectors.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

Warranty information is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for warranty details.

Can this tap be used with a single tap hole basin?

No, this tap is specifically designed for basins with three tap holes due to its separate hot, cold, and central mixer functions.

What material are the internal workings made of?

The tap features high-quality brass internals, ensuring durability and reliable performance.

Is the pop-up waste easy to install?

The pop-up waste is designed for straightforward installation, but refer to the specific instructions included with the waste mechanism for detailed steps.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For limescale, use a mild vinegar solution, rinse, and dry.

Will this tap work well with low water pressure?

Yes, the Kingsey tap is engineered to provide excellent flow rates even at low pressures.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping from the spout.

This often indicates a worn or damaged washer or valve seat. Turn off the water supply, dismantle the handle and valve, and inspect/replace the relevant parts. If unsure, consult a plumber.

Low water flow from the spout.

Check that the isolation valves under the basin are fully open. Ensure the aerator on the spout is clean and free from debris. Check the pop-up waste is fully open and not obstructing flow.

Difficulty operating the crosshead handles.

Handles may become stiff due to limescale buildup. Turn off the water, remove the handle, and clean the valve stem and internal components. Lubrication may be required.

Pop-up waste is not sealing or draining properly.

Check the alignment and seal of the pop-up plug. Ensure the waste pipework is clear of obstructions. The mechanism itself may need adjustment or cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This tap is designed for basins with three tap holes. Ensure your basin has these specific holes before purchasing. It is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off.
  2. Fit the tap into the three designated holes on the basin, ensuring the rubber seals are in place.
  3. Secure the tap from underneath the basin using the provided fixings.
  4. Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the appropriate inlets.
  5. Install the pop-up waste mechanism according to its specific instructions.
  6. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.

Care: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the chrome finish. For stubborn limescale, use a mild solution of vinegar and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Periodically check fixings for tightness.
