The Balterley Lacerta Kitchen Tap is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and functional update to their kitchen. Its key benefit is the combination of durable brass construction, precise dual-lever control, and a luxurious brushed brass finish that adds warmth and classic appeal. A potential caveat is that a matching waste is sold separately. This tap features ceramic disc technology for smooth operation and a long lifespan, a high curved swivel spout for ease of use, and a generous height suitable for most standard sinks.

The tap measures W: 129 mm, D: 246 mm, and H: 363 mm.
The description indicates a curved swivel spout, designed for excellent reach and flexibility, implying it offers a wide range of motion suitable for most sink sizes.
This is often due to worn ceramic discs. If the issue persists after checking handle alignment, the internal ceramic disc cartridge may need replacement. Contact Balterley customer support for assistance.
Check if the operating pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 Bar. Ensure the aerator at the end of the spout is clean and free from debris. Also, check for any kinks or blockages in the flexible hoses connected to the tap.
Ensure the handles are correctly seated. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant might be applied to the valve stem (consult manufacturer instructions or a professional).
Whistling or humming sounds can indicate issues with water flow or pressure. Check for vibrations and ensure all fittings are secure. If the noise is constant, it may relate to the water supply pressure or internal components.
Setup:
Ensure your plumbing system can support the tap's requirements. The Balterley Lacerta tap is designed for standard kitchen sink installations. For optimal performance, a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 Bar is recommended. It's advised to consult a professional plumber for installation to ensure a secure and leak-free fit.
Compatibility:
This tap is compatible with most standard kitchen sinks. A complementing Brushed Brass basket strainer waste is available from Balterley, though not included with the tap itself.
Care:
To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth. Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
