Product Information

Full details

This Bristan Value Lever High Neck Pillar Kitchen Sink Tap is ideal for homeowners seeking a durable, stylish, and functional tap for their kitchen sink. Its modern high neck design offers ample clearance for washing larger items, while the twin lever controls provide precise water management. A potential caveat is its suitability for medium pressure systems (0.5 - 0.9 Bar). Key features include a solid brass body with a chrome finish, ceramic disc valves for a watertight seal, and reinforced metal back nuts for longevity.

FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this tap?

The tap is designed for medium pressure systems and performs optimally between 0.5 Bar and 0.9 Bar.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent, rinse, and polish with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Does this tap come with a guarantee?

Yes, the Bristan Value Lever High Neck Pillar Kitchen Sink Tap is backed by a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS approval signifies that the tap meets the high standards set by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme, ensuring it is safe and suitable for use in UK plumbing systems.

Can this tap be installed on any sink?

This tap is designed for deck mounting and requires two tap holes. It is compatible with sinks that have the appropriate hole configuration.

What are the dimensions of the tap?

The tap measures approximately 45mm in width, 165mm in height, and 110mm in depth.

Is the spout fixed or movable?

The spout on this model is fixed.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

This is often caused by debris in the ceramic disc valve. Turn off the water supply, dismantle the valve mechanism according to the manufacturer's instructions, clean the discs carefully, and reassemble. If the issue persists, the ceramic disc may need replacement.

Low water flow

Check that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 Bar. Ensure the flow restrictors (if present) are not blocked and that the aerator at the tip of the spout is clean and free of debris. Also, verify that there are no blockages in the connecting hoses.

Tap is loose

Ensure the metal back nuts securing the tap to the sink are tightened properly. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the sink or tap. If the issue persists, consider using plumber's tape or a sealant for a more secure fit.

Difficulty controlling temperature

Verify that both hot and cold water supplies are connected correctly. Check the pressure of both hot and cold water lines; if one is significantly lower than the other, it can affect temperature control. Ensure the ceramic disc valves are functioning correctly.

Setup:

This tap is designed for deck mounting and requires two tap holes on your sink. Ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning installation. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, paying close attention to securing the reinforced metal back nuts to ensure a stable fit.
