FAQs
Does this tap require electricity to work?
The touchless sensor functionality is powered by a 6V lithium battery, but the manual lever operation remains fully functional without battery power.
Can I use this tap with a standard UK plumbing system?
Yes, but you may need to purchase 15mm compression x 3/8-inch BSP male adaptors as the tap uses European G3/8-inch connection tails.
How do I maintain the steel finish?
Clean the surface regularly with a soft cloth and mild dish soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool to prevent scratching.
What is the maximum height of this tap?
The maximum height is 38.1 cm, providing a comfortable distance of 22.5 cm from the spout to the sink surface.
Does the tap include a temperature limiter?
Yes, it is equipped with an integrated temperature limiter to help prevent scalding and improve energy efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Sensor not activating water flow
Check the battery level in the sensor compartment and ensure no objects are blocking the sensor lens.
Pull-out hose not retracting smoothly
Ensure the hose is not obstructed by plumbing pipes or cabinet storage underneath the sink; check the counterweight alignment.
Low water pressure
Check that the supply valves are fully open and clean the aerator to remove any limescale or debris buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is streamlined by the QuickMount system and the included QuickTool, which helps secure the tap to the mounting hole without specialized plumbing experience. Ensure your mounting surface is compatible with a single-hole installation. For UK users, confirm that your existing water supply lines are compatible; since the unit uses G3/8-inch tails, you may need to purchase 15mm compression x 3/8-inch BSP male adaptors. The touchless functionality requires 6V lithium battery power, which should be accessible for periodic replacement. To maintain the finish, clean the steel surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive chemicals or scouring pads that could scratch the protective coating. Periodically check the pull-out hose to ensure it retracts fully without resistance.
