What is the spout reach?

The spout reach (distance from inlet hose to outlet spout) is 19.2 cm.

How is the water flow controlled?

Water flow is controlled by rotary valves, specifically quarter-turn ceramic disc valves, within the handles for precise adjustment.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

The tap comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Tap is not delivering water or flow is very weak.

Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the minimum operating pressure of 0.2 bar is met. Inspect the inlet hoses and internal filters for any blockages. The ceramic disc valves may need cleaning if sediment is present.

Tap is dripping from the spout.

The quarter-turn ceramic disc valves may be worn or contain debris. Carefully disassemble the handle and cartridge according to the manufacturer's instructions to clean or replace the ceramic disc cartridge.

Water leaks from the base of the tap.

Ensure the fixing bracket underneath the worktop is securely tightened. Check the seals and O-rings at the base for damage and replace if necessary.

Water spraying excessively from the spout.

Verify that the antisplash spout is correctly installed and not damaged. Check that the water pressure is not excessively high; if it is, consider installing a pressure-reducing valve. Ensure the flow control is set appropriately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning installation.
  2. The tap requires one mounting hole. Position the tap onto the sink or worktop, ensuring the flexible tail pipes pass through the mounting hole.
  3. Secure the tap from underneath using the provided fixing bracket.
  4. Connect the flexible tail pipes to your hot and cold water supply lines. These are typically 1/2" connections.
  5. Ensure all connections are tight but do not overtighten.
  6. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.

Care:
