FAQs

What is the main advantage of ceramic disc valves?

Ceramic disc valves are highly durable and provide smooth, precise control over water flow and temperature, offering a longer lifespan than traditional rubber seals.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Wipe the finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the surface.

Is this tap suitable for all water pressures?

Yes, the tap is designed to work effectively on both low and high water pressure systems.

How easy is it to clean the shower handset?

The handset features a rub-clean surface, allowing you to easily remove limescale and debris by simply rubbing the nozzles.

What is included with the tap?

The product includes the bath shower mixer tap and a rub-clean handset. Please refer to the product packaging for a complete list of included parts.

What is the guarantee period?

The tap comes with a 10-year parts guarantee and a 1-year labour guarantee.

Can I buy matching taps for my basin?

Yes, coordinating bathroom taps are available within the Bristan Frammento range to create a unified look.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off

Ensure the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves are fully closed. If the dripping persists, the valve may need servicing or replacement. Check for any debris within the valve mechanism.

Low water pressure from the shower handset

Clean the rub-clean handset to remove any limescale or debris. Check the shower hose and connections for any kinks or blockages. Ensure the main water supply is adequate.

Tap is difficult to turn or stiff

The ceramic disc valves may require lubrication or cleaning. If the issue persists, contact a qualified plumber or the manufacturer.

Water temperature is inconsistent

Check the hot and cold water supply lines to ensure they are functioning correctly and providing adequate flow. Ensure the mixer valve itself is not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Bristan Frammento Bath Shower Mixer Tap typically requires standard plumbing connections for deck-mounted bath taps. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure correct fitting and adherence to local water regulations. Ensure that the water supply is turned off before commencing installation. Securely tighten the metal fixing nut to ensure stability.

Compatibility:

This mixer tap is designed for standard UK water systems. It is compatible with both low and high-pressure systems due to the ceramic disc valves. However, it is advisable to check existing plumbing for compatibility, especially if replacing an older type of tap. Coordinating taps for basins are available to complete the look.

Care:

To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For limescale removal from the handset, gently rub the surface with a finger or soft cloth. Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
