FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this tap?

The Balterley Traditional Bridge Mixer Kitchen Tap requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar.

What material is the tap made from?

The tap is constructed from strong and durable brass with a brushed nickel finish.

How do I clean and maintain the brushed nickel finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, and always rinse and dry thoroughly.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

This tap comes with a 3-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Does this tap come with the necessary plumbing connections?

Typically, the tap will include flexible hoses for connection, but specific plumbing fittings for your system may need to be sourced separately. Refer to the product manual for exact contents.

Can I install this tap myself?

Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge and the right tools. If you are not comfortable with plumbing, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct setup and to avoid potential issues.

What is ceramic disc technology?

Ceramic disc technology uses two ceramic discs that move against each other to control water flow. It is known for its durability, smooth operation, and ability to prevent drips.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping or leaking

This is often due to worn ceramic discs. Ensure the tap is fully closed. If the problem persists, the ceramic disc cartridge may need replacing. Contact customer support or a qualified plumber.

Low water flow

Check if the minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar is being met. Inspect the aerator (if present) for blockages and clean it. Ensure the isolation valves under the sink are fully open.

Water temperature is not adjusting correctly

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the respective inlets. Ensure both hot and cold water supplies are functioning independently.

Tap making noise during operation

Unusual noises can sometimes indicate issues with water pressure or internal components. Ensure water pressure is within the recommended range. If noise persists, consult a professional.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This tap features a 2-hole bridge design, requiring two mounting points on your sink or worktop. Ensure you have adequate space for the dimensions: W: 235 mm, D: 200 mm, H: 510 mm. Connection to your existing hot and cold water supply lines will be necessary. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with plumbing.

Compatibility: The tap requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar. It is compatible with most standard plumbing systems that meet this requirement. Always check your home's water pressure before installation.

Care: To maintain the brushed nickel finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth. Periodically check connections to ensure they are secure.
