Product Information
Full details
These Bristan Non Concussive Basin Taps in Silver are ideal for environments prioritizing water efficiency and hygiene, such as public restrooms or commercial washrooms. Their key benefit is the timed shut-off mechanism that ensures water is not left running, reducing waste. A minor consideration is the factory-set 9-second shut-off time, which may require adjustment for specific needs. The taps feature a soft-touch operation, a 5L/min flow regulator, and are finished in a durable chrome-plated silver.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Do I need a special type of plumbing connection?

Troubleshooting
Tap does not shut off automatically.
Check for debris in the mechanism. Ensure water pressure is within the recommended range. If the issue persists, the internal cartridge may need servicing or replacement.
Water flow is too low or inconsistent.
Verify that the 5L/min flow regulator is correctly installed and not blocked. Check for kinks in the supply hose or blockages in the water supply line. Ensure minimum water pressure requirements are met.
Mechanism is stiff or difficult to push.
There might be mineral buildup. Gently clean the moving parts if accessible, or contact a professional for servicing. Ensure the tap is not overtightened to the basin.
Tap leaks after shutting off.
Inspect the seals and internal components for wear or damage. The timed shut-off valve may require replacement if it's not seating properly.
