Product Information

Full details

The Horizon by Abode Zermat Kitchen Mixertap in Silver is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of simplistic, symmetrical aesthetics and reliable functionality in their kitchen. Its key benefit lies in its versatile design that complements various kitchen styles, combined with durable, high-quality brass construction and user-friendly quarter-turn ceramic disc valves. A potential caveat is its suitability for lower to mid-pressure systems, so compatibility with very high-pressure water systems should be confirmed. This tap features a soft swan neck spout, defined handle detailing, and an antisplash spout for everyday convenience.

FAQs

What type of valves does this tap use?

The Horizon by Abode Zermat tap uses quarter-turn ceramic disc valves, known for their durability and drip-free performance.

What is the minimum and maximum water pressure required?

The tap is designed for water pressure systems between 0.3 bar (minimum) and 5.5 bar (maximum).

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the surface.

What is the spout projection?

The spout projection is 17.7 cm, offering ample space over the sink.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

This tap comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Is the antisplash feature removable for cleaning?

Yes, the antisplash aerator can typically be unscrewed for cleaning to remove any sediment or limescale buildup.

What material is the tap made from?

The tap is constructed from high-quality solid brass with chrome handles.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping from the spout.

This is usually due to worn ceramic disc valves. Tighten the valve housing if loose, or if the dripping persists, the valves may need replacement.

Low water flow.

Check if the aerator (antisplash spout) is clogged with limescale or debris. Unscrew and clean it. Also, ensure water supply valves are fully open and that there are no blockages in the feed hoses.

Water temperature control is difficult.

Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the tap inlets. Check that the water heaters are functioning correctly and delivering adequate hot and cold water.

Tap is loose on the sink deck.

Tighten the fixing nut or bracket underneath the sink. Ensure all mounting hardware is secure but do not overtighten.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Zermat tap is designed for deck-mounted installation. It comes with flexible tail pipes that facilitate a quick fitting process onto standard sink or worktop holes. Ensure water supply is turned off before commencing installation. Connect the flexible hoses to the water inlets, and secure the tap to the mounting surface using the provided hardware.

Compatibility: This mixer tap is suitable for water pressure systems ranging from 0.3 bar to 5.5 bar. It is compatible with standard plumbing configurations. The tap operates efficiently within a water temperature range of a minimum of 46°C to a maximum of 70°C.

Care: To maintain the high-shine chrome finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive detergent can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth.
