Product Information
Full details
This Balterley Contemporary Tall Mono Basin Mixer Tap in black is designed for homeowners looking to add a stylish and functional centerpiece to their bathroom, especially those using vessel basins. Its key benefit is the striking tall design that enhances aesthetics and provides comfortable use. A potential consideration is that its height requires specific basin types, like vessel basins, for optimal integration. This tap combines high-quality materials with a sleek design, offering effortless control over water flow and temperature, and is part of a coordinating brassware range.

FAQs
What type of basin is this tap suitable for?
This tall mono basin mixer tap is ideal for use with vessel basins, due to its elevated design.
What is the warranty period for this tap?
The tap comes with a 3-year manufacturer's guarantee.
Can I use this tap with a standard pedestal basin?
While it may be technically possible, this tap is specifically designed for vessel basins. Its height might make it appear disproportionate or cause splashing issues with lower, standard basins.
How do I clean the black finish to keep it looking new?
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Is other brassware available to match this tap?
Yes, coordinating brassware is available from Balterley, particularly from the Celeste range, to create a complete bathroom suite.
What are the main dimensions of the tap?
The tap has a Height of 269 mm, a Width of 50 mm, and a Depth of 190 mm.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow from the tap
Check that the isolation valves under the basin are fully open. Inspect the aerator at the end of the spout for any blockages (limescale or debris) and clean if necessary. Ensure there are no kinks in the supply hoses.
Tap is dripping when turned off
This usually indicates an issue with the internal cartridge. The cartridge may need to be replaced. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions or consult a qualified plumber.
Water temperature is not adjustable
Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the tap. Check that the hot water system is functioning correctly and providing adequate hot water. The mixer cartridge might be faulty.
Difficulty operating the lever handle
The handle mechanism may be stiff due to limescale buildup or a faulty cartridge. Try cleaning around the handle base and, if the problem persists, consider replacing the cartridge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure that the plumbing is compatible with a single-hole mixer tap. Installation typically involves securing the tap to the basin and connecting the hot and cold water supply hoses to the appropriate valves.
Compatibility:
This tap is specifically designed for use with vessel basins. It is also part of the Balterley Celeste range, with coordinating brassware available to create a unified look. Check the technical specifications for dimensions (Height: 269 mm, Width: 50 mm, Depth: 190 mm) to ensure clearance in your specific installation.
Care:
To maintain the sleek black finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
