Product Information

Full details

The Hansgrohe Vernis Shape Mono Mixer Kitchen Tap in Silver is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and practical upgrade for their kitchen sink. Its primary benefit is the tall, swiveling spout that offers ample clearance for washing large pots and pans, combined with Hansgrohe's AirPower technology for a splash-reduced, aerated flow. A potential consideration is the need for a minimum 32mm tap hole, which should be checked before installation.

FAQs

What is Hansgrohe AirPower technology?

AirPower technology enriches the water with air, creating a fuller, softer stream. This not only feels more pleasant on the skin but also reduces splashing and can contribute to water savings.

Can the spout swivel be adjusted after installation?

No, the swivel range (110°, 150°, or 360°) is set during the initial installation process. If you wish to change it, the tap will need to be partially or fully removed to adjust the settings.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

The Hansgrohe Vernis Shape kitchen tap comes with a five-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to terms and conditions.

Is this tap suitable for low-pressure water systems?

This tap is designed for standard high-pressure systems. While it may function on very low pressure, performance could be reduced. It is also suitable for continuous flow heaters.

How do I clean the chrome finish to maintain its shine?

Regularly wipe the chrome surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution, rinse, and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

What is the minimum size required for the tap hole?

A minimum tap hole diameter of 32mm is required for installation.

Does this tap come with a pull-out spray?

No, the Hansgrohe Vernis Shape Mono Mixer Kitchen Tap does not feature an integrated pull-out spray function.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping after being turned off

Ensure the tap handle is fully in the 'off' position. If dripping persists, the ceramic mixer cartridge may need servicing or replacement (refer to manufacturer's service manual for details).

Low water pressure or flow rate

Check that the angle valves under the sink are fully open. Inspect the aerator at the spout tip for blockages; unscrew and clean it. Ensure flexible hoses are not kinked.

Water not getting hot or cold

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the corresponding valves and that the water supply itself is functioning. Check the position of the single lever for correct hot/cold selection.

Tap is loose on the sink

The fixing kit underneath the sink may need to be tightened. Access the underside of the sink and re-tighten the securing nut or screws.

Leaking connections

Turn off the water supply. Check that all hose connections are securely tightened. Replace any worn rubber seals or washers if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the sink or countertop has a suitable tap hole (minimum 32mm diameter).
  2. Connections: Connect the provided flexible hoses to the tap's inlet pipes.
  3. Mounting: Insert the tap into the tap hole and secure it from underneath using the provided fixing kit. Tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening.
  4. Water Supply: Connect the flexible hoses to your standard angle valves (hot on the left, cold on the right).
  5. Spout Swivel: Decide on the desired swivel range (110°, 150°, or 360°) and set it according to the installation instructions before fully tightening the tap.
  6. Testing: Turn on the water supply slowly and check all connections for leaks. Test the lever for smooth operation and water flow.

Compatibility:

  • Tap Hole Size: Requires a minimum 32mm tap hole.
  • Water System: Suitable for standard high-pressure water systems and continuous flow heaters.
  • Connection Type: Uses standard G connection hoses for connection to angle valves.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the chrome surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
  • Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome finish.
  • Scale Removal: If limescale builds up, use a vinegar-based cleaner or a specialized limescale remover, applying it carefully and rinsing promptly.
