FAQs
What makes the 'Top Fix' design unique?
The Top Fix design allows you to install the tap from above the sink, without needing to access the space underneath. This simplifies the process, especially in tight or awkward spaces.
What tools are included in the box?
The box includes an Allen key, isolation valves, flexi tails, the Top Fix Easyfit base, and the Easyfit tool for securing the tap.
How do I connect this tap to my water supply?
The tap comes with flexi tails and isolation valves. You connect these to your existing hot and cold water pipes, and then attach the tap's flexi tails to these valves.
Is this tap suitable for low water pressure systems?
While designed for standard pressures, the tap's performance can be affected by very low water pressure. It is recommended to check your home's water pressure.
What is the warranty period for this tap?
Bristan typically offers a long warranty on their taps, often a lifetime guarantee on the body and a significant warranty on the cartridges and moving parts. Please refer to the product's specific warranty documentation for exact details.
Can I replace the cartridge if it wears out?
Yes, the long-life ceramic cartridge is designed to be replaceable. If you experience issues with water control, a replacement cartridge can usually be fitted.
Troubleshooting
Tap is leaking from the base
Ensure the mounting screws are tightened securely using the Easyfit tool. Check that the seals on the flexi tails are properly seated.
Low water flow
Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Inspect the flexi tails for any kinks or blockages. Remove and clean the aerator at the spout tip.
Tap feels loose
Re-tighten the fixing screws from underneath the sink using the provided Easyfit tool and Allen key.

The ceramic cartridge may require cleaning or replacement if stiff. Ensure no debris is preventing smooth movement. Contact customer support if issues persist.
