What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS approval signifies that the product meets strict water regulations in the UK, ensuring it is safe and suitable for use with drinking water.

What is the benefit of a ceramic disc valve?

Ceramic disc valves provide a longer lifespan, a smooth quarter-turn operation, and are less prone to drips compared to traditional washered valves.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Ensure the ceramic disc valve is properly seated and free from debris. Check that the water pressure is within the specified range.

Low water flow

Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1 bar. Check the flexi tail for any kinks or blockages. Ensure aerators (if present) are clean.

Difficulty turning the handle

The ceramic disc valve may require cleaning or replacement if it feels stiff. Ensure the tap is not overtightened during installation.

Tap is leaking from the base

Check the seals and connections at the base of the tap. Ensure all fixings are securely tightened according to installation instructions.
