FAQs
What material is the handle made from?
The handle is made from durable metal with a chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance.
Is this handle suitable for hot and cold water taps?
This handle is specifically designed for filtered and drinking water taps, which typically dispense cold water. It is not intended for standard hot and cold mixer taps.
What tools do I need to install this handle?
Basic tools like a screwdriver (if a screw is present) or pliers might be needed to remove the old handle. The new handle should ideally slot or screw on easily.
How do I know if this handle will fit my tap?
The handle is designed for Strauna filter tap bodies and compatible models. It's best to check if your current tap has a similar lever mechanism and stem fitting.
Can I use this handle for a commercial kitchen tap?
Yes, this handle is suitable for both domestic and commercial kitchen filter tap installations.
Does this product come with the full tap assembly?
No, this product is the replacement handle only and does not include the complete tap body or internal valve mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Handle is loose or wobbly.
Ensure the handle is properly secured to the tap stem. Check for any retaining screws or clips and tighten them. If the stem itself is loose, this may require addressing the main tap assembly.
Water leaks around the handle base.
This typically indicates an issue with the valve seat or internal seals within the tap body, not the handle itself. It may be necessary to service or replace the internal components of the tap or the entire tap body.
Handle is difficult to turn.
Check for any debris or obstruction between the handle and the tap body. Ensure the handle is correctly aligned and not binding against any other parts of the tap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:

- Carefully remove the old tap handle, noting how it was attached.

- Secure the handle in place according to the specific tap body's mechanism (this may involve a screw or a press-fit design).
- Turn the water supply back on and test for leaks and proper operation.
Compatibility:
