Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Before purchasing, verify that your Bristan tap is compatible. This reviver is suitable for most 1/2" 5412, 3/4" 5412, and 3/4" 1010 models. Check your existing tap for model numbers or consult the Bristan website.
Setup:
- Turn off the main water supply to your bathroom.
- Carefully remove the old tap handles. This usually involves prying off a decorative cap and unscrewing a fixing.
- Unscrew and remove the old valve.
- Select the appropriate spacer and washer from the kit to match your tap's seating depth.
- Install the new valve, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Fit the new acrylic handle, securing it with the provided screw.
- Turn the water supply back on and test for leaks and proper operation.
Care: Clean the acrylic handles and chrome parts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish. For internal components, regular checks for leaks are recommended.
