FAQs

What makes the Top Fix design unique?

The Top Fix design allows the tap to be installed and secured from above the sink, eliminating the need to access cramped spaces underneath.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

The tap comes with an Allen key and an Easyfit tool, which are sufficient for the primary installation steps. It is recommended to have basic plumbing tools on hand for connecting to the water supply.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth to maintain shine.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

Warranty details are typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please refer to the product packaging or Bristan's official website for specific warranty information.

Can this tap be used with a high-pressure water system?

Yes, the ceramic disc valves are suitable for high-pressure systems. Ensure your home's plumbing can support the tap's requirements.

What should I do if the tap develops a leak?

First, ensure the tap is fully turned off. Check for any loose connections at the base. If the leak appears to come from the spout or handle, the ceramic disc valves may require attention or replacement.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Ensure the ceramic disc valves are properly seated. If the problem persists, the valve may need replacement.

Low water pressure

Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Inspect the flexi tails and aerator for any blockages.

Tap is loose

Re-tighten the fixings using the Easyfit tool and Allen key from above the sink.

No hot or cold water

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the isolation valves and that the main water supply is on.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly simplified installation process due to the top-fix design.
  • All required components are included in the box, eliminating the need for separate purchases.
  • Durable ceramic disc valves ensure longevity and reliable performance.
  • The swivel spout adds practical functionality for daily kitchen use.
  • High-quality metal fixings contribute to a secure and stable fitting.
  • Modern polished chrome finish enhances kitchen aesthetics.

Cons

  • Requires sufficient space above the sink for the tap and spout to operate freely.
  • The unique top-fix mechanism might require a slight learning curve for first-time users.
  • While designed for simple installation, ensuring a watertight seal is crucial and requires careful attention.
  • May not be compatible with all sink thicknesses or pre-drilled hole sizes without minor adjustments.
  • Relies on the included tools for installation; specialized tools might be needed for removal or advanced maintenance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Drop the Top Fix Easyfit base into the tap hole from above the sink.
  2. Secure the base in place using the provided Allen key.
  3. Connect the supplied isolation valves and flexi tails to the water supply at the base.
  4. Push the tap onto the secured base.
  5. Use the Easyfit tool and screws to lock the tap into position.

Compatibility:

This tap is designed to fit standard sink tap holes. Ensure there is adequate clearance above and around the sink for the tap's swivel spout to operate fully. The unit comes with flexi tails for connection to standard plumbing.

Care:

Clean the polished chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent diluted in water, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth.
