FAQs

Is the waste fitting included with the tap?

No, the RAK Ceramics Sorrento Basin Mixer does not include a waste fitting. This needs to be purchased separately.

What is the minimum water pressure required?

The tap requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar for optimal performance.

How do I clean the brushed nickel finish?

Clean using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to prevent damage to the finish.

What material is the tap made from?

The tap is expertly crafted from durable solid brass.

What is the warranty period?

RAK Ceramics provides a 15-year manufacturer's guarantee on this basin mixer.

Can this tap be used with a hot water system that has very low pressure?

The tap requires a minimum of 0.5 bar pressure. It may not function effectively with gravity-fed systems that typically operate below this pressure.

How many tap holes does my basin need for this mixer?

This is a mono basin mixer designed for basins with a single tap hole.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow

Check that the water supply is fully on. Ensure the minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is met. Clean any debris from the aerator on the spout.

Tap is dripping after shut-off

This usually indicates an issue with the internal ceramic disc cartridges. If under warranty, contact the manufacturer. Otherwise, the cartridges may need replacing.

Water not heating up correctly

Verify that the hot water supply is connected correctly to the designated inlet. Check your water heating system and ensure it is functioning properly and providing adequate hot water.

Difficulty turning handles

Check for any obstruction. If the handles are stiff, the internal cartridges might need lubrication or replacement. This is often a job for a qualified plumber.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Constructed from high-quality solid brass for durability.
  • Elegant brushed nickel finish enhances bathroom aesthetics.
  • Easy to operate with separate controls for hot and cold water.
  • Long 15-year manufacturer's guarantee provides excellent value.
  • Modern, minimalist design fits well in contemporary bathrooms.

Cons

  • Waste is not included and needs to be purchased separately.
  • Requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar to function optimally.
  • Two handles may be less convenient for some users compared to a single lever.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the basin has a single tap hole suitable for a deck-mounted mixer.
  2. Turn off the main water supply before installation.
  3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for connecting the hot and cold water hoses to the tap and the existing plumbing.
  4. Secure the tap to the basin using the provided fixing kit.
  5. Attach the separately purchased waste.
  6. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.

Compatibility:

  • Mounting: Designed for deck-mounted installation on basins with one tap hole.
  • Water Pressure: Requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar. It is compatible with most standard home water systems, including combi boilers and pumped systems, but may not perform optimally with very low-pressure gravity-fed systems.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
