Product Information
Full details
This Bristan Pine Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap in Black is designed for homeowners seeking an energy-efficient and easy-to-install kitchen faucet. Its Eco Start technology significantly reduces energy consumption by defaulting to cold water, ensuring your boiler isn't unnecessarily activated. While it offers a streamlined installation process with its patented Top Fix design, users should ensure their sink has adequate clearance for the above-sink fitting mechanism.

FAQs
How does the Eco Start technology save energy?
Eco Start technology ensures that the default position of the tap handle is for cold water. Hot water is only mixed in when the handle is moved to the side, preventing the boiler from unnecessarily firing up for tasks that don't require hot water.
What makes the Top Fix installation unique?
The Top Fix system allows installation from above the sink. You simply drop the base into the tap hole, twist to secure, and then attach the tap, eliminating the need to access confined spaces underneath the sink.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
No, the tap comes with an Allen key and an Easyfit tool, along with isolation valves and flexi tails, providing everything needed for a straightforward installation.
Is this tap suitable for low water pressure systems?
While the tap is designed for standard UK water systems, performance on very low pressure systems may vary. It is recommended to check your water pressure to ensure optimal performance.
How do I clean the black finish?
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents to prevent damage to the finish.
What is the purpose of the isolation valves?
The included isolation valves allow you to easily shut off the water supply to the tap for maintenance or repairs without needing to turn off the mains water to your entire property.
Troubleshooting
Tap not dispensing water
Check that the isolation valves are fully open and the flexi tails are not kinked.
Low water flow
Ensure isolation valves are fully open. Check aerator for blockages and clean if necessary. Verify mains water pressure is adequate.
Leaking from base of tap
Confirm that the Top Fix base is securely tightened and that the seals are correctly positioned.
Hot water not activating
Ensure the tap handle is moved to the side from the upright 'Eco Start' position. Verify hot water supply is connected and functioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the sink has a suitable tap hole.

Compatibility:
This tap is designed to connect to standard UK water supply systems. Ensure your water pressure is suitable for mixer taps. The Top Fix system requires sufficient space above the sink for installation.
Care:
To maintain the black finish, wipe the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface. For internal care, the long-life ceramic cartridge is designed for durability, but should a drip occur, it indicates the need for potential cartridge replacement following manufacturer guidelines.
