FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for these taps?

These taps are designed for medium water pressure systems and perform optimally between 0.5 - 0.9 bar. Performance may be reduced at lower pressures.

Can I use these taps with a single tap hole basin?

No, these are pillar taps designed to be installed in separate tap holes. They require a basin with two tap holes.

How do I clean the silver finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Use a mild soap solution for tougher marks, rinse, and dry with a clean cloth.

What does a ceramic cartridge do?

The ceramic cartridge controls the water flow and shut-off. It provides a smooth quarter-turn action and is designed for durability and drip-free performance.

Are these taps suitable for a bath or a basin?

The description specifies 'Bath Pillar Taps' and mentions suitability for basins with two tap holes. They are primarily designed for basins but may be used for baths if the bath has the appropriate twin tap hole setup.

What is the inlet connection size?

The inlet connection size is G3/4".

What material are the taps made from?

The taps are made from brass.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off

This usually indicates an issue with the ceramic cartridge. Ensure the tap is fully closed with the quarter-turn handle. If dripping persists, the ceramic cartridge may need cleaning or replacement.

Low water flow from one or both taps

Check that the water supply is turned on fully. Ensure the water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.5 bar). Clean any aerators or filters on the spout if present, and check for any blockages in the supply pipes.

Difficulty turning the handles

The ceramic cartridge may be dry or have debris. A qualified plumber can inspect and lubricate the cartridge or replace it if necessary.

Water leaks from the base of the tap

Check the tightness of the connections to the water supply and the mounting to the basin. Ensure all seals and washers are correctly in place and not damaged. Professional installation is advised if leaks persist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to install on existing basins with two tap holes, minimizing disruption.
  • Provides precise water control with separate hot and cold levers.
  • Durable brass construction ensures longevity.
  • Ceramic disc technology prevents drips and ensures smooth operation.

Cons

  • Requires medium water pressure (0.5 - 0.9 bar) to function optimally.

  • Not suitable for basins with a single tap hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These taps are designed for deck-mounted installation, meaning they are fitted directly onto the surface of your basin. Ensure your basin has two tap holes spaced appropriately for pillar taps. Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the respective inlets (G3/4 connection size). It is recommended that installation is performed by a qualified plumber to ensure proper function and to avoid leaks.

Compatibility:

  • Tap Holes: Requires 2 tap holes on the basin.
  • Pressure: Best suited for medium water pressure systems, operating effectively between 0.5 - 0.9 bar.
  • Inlet Connection: Standard G3/4" connection size.

Care:

To maintain the silver (chrome) finish and ensure longevity:

  1. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  2. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish.
  3. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with water.
  4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth after cleaning to prevent water spots.
