FAQs

The tap is crafted from solid brass for durability and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Is this tap suitable for high-pressure systems?

Yes, this tap is designed to work with standard water pressures and includes an aerator for controlled flow.

How do I clean the matte black finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the finish.

Does the tap come with a waste fitting?

The product description mentions a brass tap and waste, indicating a matching waste is included or designed to be compatible.

Can this tap be used in a shower enclosure?

While designed primarily for basins, its mixer function could potentially be adapted for certain shower setups if compatible plumbing is available, but it is not its intended primary use.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

Please refer to the specific warranty information provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the time of purchase, as warranty details can vary.

Is installation difficult?

The tap is designed for easy installation with standard fittings, but basic plumbing knowledge or professional assistance is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Tap is not dispensing water

Check that the water supply valves are fully open and that there are no kinks in the supply hoses. Ensure the main water supply to the property is on.

Low water pressure

Clean the aerator by unscrewing it from the spout and rinsing it under running water. Check for any blockages in the supply hoses or at the valve connections.

Leaking from the base of the tap

Ensure the mounting hardware is tightened securely. Check the condition of the seals and washers, and replace if necessary.

Difficulty in controlling temperature

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the tap. Ensure the internal cartridge is functioning correctly; if not, it may require replacement.
