This guide is for homeowners seeking a reliable and classic tap solution for their kitchen or bathroom. The Bristan Pillar Taps offer a durable and user-friendly experience with easy 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves and a preset temperature stop for safety. A potential consideration is that the maximum override temperature is 46°C, which may be lower than some user preferences.

The tap has a preset temperature stop at 38°C for safety. This can be overridden to a maximum of 46°C.
This tap features easy-to-use 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves, known for their durability and smooth operation.
The tap is supplied with 152mm (6") metal lever handles.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the finish.
Installation is not included. It is recommended that these taps be installed by a qualified plumber.
The primary benefit is safety, as it prevents scalding with a preset temperature stop, particularly useful in households with children.
Yes, the preset temperature stop at 38°C can be overridden to a maximum of 46°C, but the 38°C limit cannot be lowered further without professional adjustment.
Ensure the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves are fully closed. If the dripping persists, the ceramic disc cartridge may need to be replaced.
Check for any blockages in the aerator or the water supply lines. Ensure isolation valves are fully open.
Verify that the hot and cold water supplies are adequate. If the maximum override temperature (46°C) is insufficient, check your water heater settings. The preset stop at 38°C is intentional for safety.
Check that the handle is securely attached and that any packing nuts or seals are in good condition. If leaking continues, the cartridge or seals may require replacement.
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber. Ensure all water connections are secure and meet local plumbing regulations. The taps are designed for standard pillar tap installations.
Compatibility: These pillar taps are suitable for standard sink and basin installations requiring separate hot and cold water connections. Ensure your existing plumbing can accommodate a standard pillar tap setup.
Care: To maintain the silver finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For internal components, regular maintenance is not typically required due to the ceramic disc valves, but periodic checks for leaks are recommended.
