FAQs
What is the warranty period for this tap?
The Bristan Frammento Bath Shower Mixer Tap comes with a 10-year parts guarantee and a 1-year labour guarantee for peace of mind.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
Is the shower handset height adjustable?
This model features a fixed handset holder. Height adjustability depends on the specific shower rail or kit installed alongside the mixer.
Can I replace the ceramic disc valves myself?
Yes, the ceramic disc valves are replaceable. It is recommended to turn off the water supply before attempting any internal maintenance.
What water pressure is required for this tap?
The tap is designed for use with standard domestic water systems. Please refer to the technical specifications for exact minimum and maximum operating pressure requirements.
Does this mixer tap come with the necessary hoses for connection?
The product description does not specify included hoses. Typically, bath mixer taps require flexible hoses for connection to the water supply, which may need to be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping after being turned off
Ensure the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves are properly seated and that there is no debris within the valve mechanism. If the problem persists, the valve may need replacement.
Low water flow from the spout or handset
Check the flow restrictors (if applicable) and clean the aerator on the spout and the nozzles on the handset. Ensure there are no blockages in the pipework or the tap's internal filters. Verify that your water system pressure meets the minimum requirements.
Difficulty switching between bath and shower functions
The diverter mechanism may be obstructed. Check for any debris preventing smooth operation. If the issue persists, the diverter may require servicing or replacement.
Tap feels loose or wobbly
Tighten the robust metal fixing nut located underneath the tap to secure it firmly to the bath or wall. Do not overtighten.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of the Bristan Frammento Bath Shower Mixer Tap should ideally be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connections and prevent leaks. It is designed to be fitted onto standard bath or wall-mounted tap holes. The robust metal fixing nut should be tightened securely to ensure the tap remains stable.
