The Bristan Orta basin taps come with a 10-year guarantee from the manufacturer, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Yes, these taps are suitable for use with combi boiler systems, as well as other standard UK water systems, including those with low or high pressure.
Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks or limescale, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner or a diluted vinegar solution, then rinse thoroughly and buff dry with a soft cloth.
Yes, replacement parts such as ceramic disc cartridges and seals are typically available. It's best to contact Bristan customer support or a plumbing supplier with the model number for specific part identification.
The quarter-turn operation means that the tap reaches its full on or off position with only a quarter turn (90-degree rotation) of the handle, offering a quicker and more precise way to control water flow compared to traditional screw-down taps.
Basic DIY installation is possible if you have plumbing experience and the necessary tools. However, for optimal results and to ensure no leaks, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended.
This usually indicates a worn ceramic disc or seal. Turn off the water supply, dismantle the tap handle, and replace the ceramic disc cartridge or relevant seals. Refer to the manufacturer's guide for specific cartridge replacement.
Check the aerator for blockages (unscrew the end of the spout). Also, ensure the isolation valves under the basin are fully open. If connected via flexible hoses, check for kinks.
The internal ceramic disc cartridge may need cleaning or replacement. Turn off the water supply and inspect the cartridge for debris. If cleaning doesn't resolve the issue, replace the cartridge.
Ensure the tap is securely tightened to the basin and that the sealing washers or putty are correctly installed. Check the integrity of the flexible hose connections.
Setup:
These pillar taps are designed for installation on standard wash basins with two pre-drilled tap holes. Ensure you have adequate space between the holes for the tap bases. It is recommended to use flexible hoses for easier connection to the water supply. Always turn off the main water supply before commencing installation. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for detailed fitting procedures, including securing the taps to the basin.
Compatibility:
The Bristan Orta Double Basin Pillar Tap is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. It is suitable for use with both low and high water pressure systems due to the ceramic disc technology. Ensure your basin has the correct spacing for pillar taps.
Care:
To maintain the polished chrome finish, regularly clean the taps with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For limescale build-up, a mild vinegar solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth.
