FAQs

What does 'Easyfit' refer to?

Easyfit refers to Bristan's patented system designed for simple installation from above the sink, reducing fitting time and complexity.

Do I need any other parts besides what's in the box?

The box typically includes all necessary components for installation, including isolation valves, flexi tails, and fitting tools. However, ensure your water supply connection points are compatible.

What is the benefit of the swivel spout?

The swivel spout allows you to move the tap head from side to side, making it easier to wash large items like pots and pans, or to fill containers in different parts of the sink.

How do I maintain the bronze finish?

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish over time. Dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

Bristan typically offers a comprehensive warranty on their taps. Please refer to the product packaging or Bristan's official website for the exact warranty terms and duration for this model.

Can this tap be used with a combi boiler system?

Yes, this tap is generally compatible with most water systems, including combi boilers, provided your water pressure is adequate.

Troubleshooting

Tap drips when turned off

Ensure the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves are fully closed. If the issue persists, the internal ceramic discs may be worn and require replacement (check manufacturer's warranty for parts).

Low water flow

Check the isolation valves are fully open. Inspect the flexi tails and tap connections for any kinks or blockages. Clean any aerator at the spout tip if present.

Tap is loose after installation

Re-tighten the fixings from underneath using the Easyfit tool. Ensure the Top Fix base is securely locked into place from above.

Difficulty installing the tap

Refer to the step-by-step instructions provided in the 'Setup' section. Ensure all provided tools are used correctly and all parts are aligned properly before tightening.
