Product Information

Full details

The Bristan Cashew Easyfit Monobloc Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap in Gun Metal is designed for homeowners seeking a straightforward, durable kitchen tap with a modern aesthetic. Its key benefit is the unique patented top-fix installation system, allowing for easy fitting from above the sink, simplifying the DIY process. A potential caveat is that while the gun metal finish is stylish, it may show water spots more readily than lighter finishes, requiring regular cleaning to maintain its appearance.

FAQs

What is the 'Easyfit' system?

The Easyfit system is a patented design that allows the tap to be installed from above the sink, simplifying the process and making it easier for DIYers, especially in confined spaces.

Does this tap come with flexi tails?

Yes, the Bristan Cashew Easyfit tap includes supplied flexi tails for easy connection to your water supply.

What type of valves does this tap use?

This tap features long-life 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves, known for their durability and smooth operation.

Can I install this tap in a sink with one hole?

Yes, this is a monobloc tap designed to be installed in a single tap hole.

How do I clean the gun metal finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. It is recommended to dry the tap after use to prevent water spots.

What are the benefits of the isolation valves?

The supplied isolation valves allow you to easily turn off the water supply to the tap for maintenance or repairs without shutting off water to your entire home.

Is this tap suitable for high or low water pressure systems?

This tap is generally suitable for standard domestic water pressure systems. For very low pressure, performance may be reduced. Check product specifications for minimum pressure requirements if you have a low-pressure system.

Troubleshooting

Tap won't turn on or water flow is very low

Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexi tails. Verify that the water supply to the property is on.

Tap is dripping from the spout

The ceramic disc valves may require cleaning or replacement. Ensure the tap was not overtightened during installation, which can damage the valve mechanism.

Difficulty tightening the tap during installation

Ensure the Easyfit tool is correctly seated on the fixing nut. Make sure the tap is aligned properly before tightening. Refer to the included installation guide for specific instructions on using the Easyfit tool.

Water leaks from connections

Check that all connections, especially where the flexi tails meet the isolation valves and tap, are securely tightened. Ensure any rubber seals or washers are correctly positioned and not damaged.

Tap handle feels stiff or loose

The handle may need adjustment. Check the securing screw (often under a decorative cap). For stiffness, the ceramic disc valve may need lubrication or replacement if it's faulty.

Pros and Cons

  • All necessary installation components are included in the box.
  • Durable ceramic disc valves for long-term performance.
  • Modern gun metal finish adds a stylish touch to the kitchen.

Cons

  • Gun metal finish may require more frequent cleaning to prevent water spots.
  • Top-fix design might be less intuitive for those accustomed to traditional bottom-fix installations.
  • Specific tools provided may have a learning curve for some users.
  • Monobloc design means it's a single unit for hot and cold water, not suitable for separate tap holes.
