How do I clean the matt black finish?
Clean the tap regularly using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Wipe dry after cleaning.
Is the spout on this tap swivel?

What does WRAS approved mean?
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the tap has been tested and meets strict standards for water quality, safety, and efficiency in the UK. This tap is approved until 30/09/2027.
Does this tap come with flexible hoses?
The tap is designed with 1/2" M10 inlet connections, requiring compatible flexible hoses for connection to your water supply. These are typically included with the tap, but please check the product packaging. If not included, they can be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Tap is not dispensing water or flow is very weak.
Check that the water supply is turned on. Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 Bar. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hoses and that the isolation valves are fully open. Clean any debris from the aerator.
Tap is leaking from the base or handle.
Ensure all connections are tight. If the leak persists, the 35mm cartridge may need to be replaced. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for cartridge replacement.
Water drips from the spout when the tap is turned off.
This usually indicates a faulty 35mm cartridge. The cartridge may need to be replaced to resolve the issue.
The finish appears to be fading or discolored.
Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean only with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure water is dried off after cleaning to prevent mineral buildup.
