Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum temperature this tap can reach?

The tap has a preset temperature stop at 38°C for safety. This can be overridden to a maximum of 46°C.

What type of valve mechanism does this tap use?

This tap features easy-to-use 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves, known for their durability and smooth operation.

What are the dimensions of the metal lever handles?

The tap is supplied with 152mm (6") metal lever handles.

How do I clean and maintain the silver finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the finish.

Is installation included with the product?

Installation is not included. It is recommended that these taps be installed by a qualified plumber.

What is the primary benefit of the thermostatic cartridge?

The primary benefit is safety, as it prevents scalding with a preset temperature stop, particularly useful in households with children.

Can I adjust the preset temperature limit?

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.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off

Ensure the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves are fully closed. If the dripping persists, the ceramic disc cartridge may need to be replaced.

Low water pressure

Check for any blockages in the aerator or the water supply lines. Ensure isolation valves are fully open.

Water temperature not reaching desired level

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.

Leaking around the handle

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction for long-lasting use.
  • Easy-to-operate 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves.
  • Thermostatic safety feature prevents scalding.
  • Classic and versatile silver finish.
  • User-friendly preset temperature stop.

Cons

  • Maximum override temperature of 46°C may not suit all users.
  • Specific installation requirements may apply.
  • Requires standard plumbing connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
