Can these taps be used with a single-hole basin?

Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping or leaking
Ensure the tap is fully closed. If the dripping persists, the ceramic disc cartridge may need replacing or cleaning. Check for any debris trapped in the cartridge.
Low water flow from one or both taps
Check the aerator at the tip of the spout for blockages (e.g., sediment or limescale). Ensure the isolation valves under the basin are fully open. Check the flow restrictors if installed.
No hot or cold water from one tap
Verify that the corresponding water supply line is correctly connected and the isolation valve is open. Check for any kinks in the supply hose.
Difficulty turning handles
The internal valve mechanism might be stiff. Ensure correct installation and consider if excessive force was applied during installation or use. A professional plumber may need to inspect the internal components.
