Product Information
Full details
The Rangemaster Ellipse Single Lever Monobloc Tap is designed for homeowners and kitchen renovators seeking a balance of contemporary aesthetics and reliable everyday functionality. Its primary strength lies in its precision water regulation provided by a 3.5cm ceramic disc valve, which offers smooth control over flow and temperature. While the sleek silver finish complements a wide variety of modern kitchen decor, users should note that as a single lever monobloc design, it requires a single-hole installation, which may necessitate an adapter or sink modification if replacing a traditional dual-tap setup.

Reduced water flow rate from the spout

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure your sink deck has a standard 35mm diameter hole. As a monobloc unit, the tap is secured via a threaded shank tightened from underneath the sink. Always use the included flexible supply hoses to connect the tap to your existing hot and cold pipework. For care, wipe the silver exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh acidic cleaners, as these can dull the metallic finish over time. If flow rate decreases, check the aerator at the tip of the spout for mineral buildup and soak it in a white vinegar solution if necessary.
