FAQs
Can I install this tap in a single-hole sink?
No, this tap is specifically designed for a two-hole installation configuration.
What is the best way to keep the silver finish shiny?
Wipe the tap daily with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove water spots and fingerprints.
Is this tap compatible with low-pressure water systems?
The tap works with most standard kitchen plumbing systems, but ensure your system meets the minimum pressure requirements for optimal flow.
Are replacement parts available for the levers?
Yes, standard internal cartridges for dual-lever taps are widely available if replacements are ever needed.
Does the finish tarnish over time?
With proper care and by avoiding harsh chemicals, the high-quality polished silver finish is designed to resist tarnishing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Balterley Traditional Dual Handle Kitchen Mixer Tap requires a sink with two pre-drilled holes. Ensure that your plumbing setup is compatible with the standard connections provided before beginning installation. It is recommended to use a plumber's wrench to ensure all fittings are secure but not overtightened to avoid damaging the internal washers. To care for your tap, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution to clean the surface. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the polished silver finish over time. Regular inspection of the aerator for mineral buildup will keep the water flow consistent and steady.
