FAQs

Are these taps suitable for high water pressure systems?

Yes, these taps are suitable for all water pressures, including high-pressure systems.

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS approval signifies that the product has been checked and meets the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards, ensuring it complies with UK water regulations for safety and performance.

How often should I service the valves?

The screw-down valves are designed for low maintenance. However, if you notice dripping or stiffness, servicing or replacing the washer is recommended.

Can I replace the chrome handles with different ones?

While the handles are typically removable, it is best to check the specific fitting type. However, these taps are designed as a matched set for economy and function.

What is the expected lifespan of these taps?

As economy taps, they are built for reliable function, especially in contract settings. Longevity will depend on usage and maintenance, but they are designed to be a cost-effective solution for their intended purpose.

Do these taps come as a pair?

Yes, the product title indicates it is a pair of bath taps.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off

The most common cause is a worn washer within the screw-down valve. Turn off the water supply, disassemble the tap handle and valve stem, and replace the rubber washer. Ensure it is seated correctly.

Low water flow

Check if the aerator (if applicable) or the inlet connection is clogged with sediment. Turn off water, disconnect the hose, and clean any debris. Also, check for kinks in the water supply hose.

Difficulty turning the handle

The valve mechanism might be stiff due to limescale. Turn off the water, remove the handle, and apply a small amount of plumbing-specific lubricant to the valve stem. If persistent, the valve may need replacement.

Water leaks from the base of the tap

Ensure the tap is securely tightened to the bath and that the sealing tape or compound used during installation is adequate. Re-sealing the base may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent value for money.
  • Operates effectively at any water pressure.
  • Low maintenance due to screw-down valve design.
  • WRAS approval ensures compliance and safety.
  • Simple, traditional design is widely compatible.

Cons

  • Economy build may be less durable than premium alternatives.
  • Lacks advanced features found in modern tap designs.
  • Aesthetic is functional rather than high-end luxury.
  • Screw-down valves require more turns to fully open/close compared to ceramic disc valves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These bath taps are designed for standard bath tap installations. Ensure water supply is turned off before commencing. Follow local plumbing regulations and use appropriate sealing tape or compound on threads. Connect hot and cold water supply lines to the respective inlets.

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard UK plumbing systems and water pressures. They are designed to fit standard bath tap holes.

Care: Clean the taps regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the chrome finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Periodically check connections for leaks.
