FAQs

What makes the Top Fix design unique?

The Top Fix design allows for installation and securing of the tap from above the sink or worktop, eliminating the need to access the underside, which is common with traditional tap installations.

Do I need any special tools that aren't included?

The kit includes an Allen key and an Easyfit tool specifically for installation. You may need standard plumbing tools for connecting to the water supply, such as an adjustable wrench.

Can I use this tap with my existing hot and cold water pipes?

Yes, the tap comes with flexi tails designed to connect to standard UK water supply fittings. Ensure your existing pipework is in good condition.

What is the benefit of the swivel spout?

The swivel spout provides greater flexibility, allowing you to easily direct the water flow across your sink, making it convenient for washing larger items or filling multiple containers.

How do I clean the silver finish?

Clean the tap with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly to maintain the finish.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

Bristan typically offers a long warranty on their kitchen taps, often 10 years or more, covering manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product's warranty card for exact details.

Can the isolation valves be removed later if needed?

Yes, the isolation valves are part of the connection to the water supply and can be disconnected to allow for maintenance or replacement of the tap, with the valves themselves acting as shut-off points.

Troubleshooting

Tap drips when turned off

Ensure the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves are properly seated. If the issue persists, the valve may need replacement (contact Bristan for parts).

Low water flow

Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Inspect the flexi tails and the tap inlet for any blockages. Ensure your water system pressure is adequate.

Difficulty securing the tap base

Verify that the base is correctly aligned with the tap hole. Ensure the Allen key is fully engaged when tightening.

Water leak from base connection

Check that the flexi tails are securely tightened to both the isolation valves and the tap inlets. Ensure any rubber seals or washers are correctly positioned.
