Full details

It features a high spout for easy filling of large containers and is specifically designed as a low-pressure version, ideal for use with boilers where hot water output is limited. While its premium components and patented jet regulator offer durability and reduced calcification, users should be aware it's a low-pressure model and may not perform as expected in high-pressure systems.

FAQs

Is this mixer suitable for a standard high-pressure water system?

No, this is a low-pressure version designed for systems like under-sink boilers. Using it with a high-pressure system will result in a significantly reduced flow rate.

What is the purpose of the stabilization plate?

The stabilization plate provides extra support and rigidity when the tap is mounted on a thin stainless steel sink, preventing wobble and ensuring a secure fit.

How often should I clean the jet regulator?

It is recommended to clean the jet regulator periodically, especially in areas with hard water, to prevent calcification and maintain optimal flow. Typically, every 3-6 months, or as needed.

What is the swivel range of the spout?

The spout has an all-round swivel range of 360 degrees, offering maximum flexibility and accessibility around the sink area.

What is the required size for the tap hole?

A tap hole with a diameter of 35 mm is required for installation.

What are the lengths of the flexible connection hoses?

The scope of supply includes 2 flexible hoses, each 750 mm in length for the main connections, and one hose of 450 mm for the mixer body connection.

Does this model come in other colors?

The Blanco Linus-F series is available in various finishes, including Brown, Grey, White, Gold, and Silver. This specific guide is for the Silver model (MPN 514277).

Troubleshooting

Low water flow rate

This is expected for a low-pressure model. Ensure the hot water supply is from a low-pressure source like a boiler. Check that the inlet hoses are not kinked and that the jet regulator is clean and free of debris.

Water leak from base of tap

Check that the fixing screws and nuts underneath the sink are tightened securely. Ensure the seals are correctly seated.

Tap feels loose

If mounted on a stainless steel sink, ensure the stabilization plate is used and all mounting hardware is tightened properly. For other countertop materials, verify the securing nut is snug.

Difficulty swiveling spout

Ensure no obstructions are present around the tap. If stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant applied to the swivel joint may help, but avoid over-application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off before installation.
  2. Mount the mixer tap through a 35mm diameter tap hole in the sink or countertop. If installing on a stainless steel sink, use the included stabilization plate for added rigidity.
  3. Connect the flexible hoses to the mixer's inlets and then to the corresponding hot and cold water supply lines.
  4. For low-pressure systems, connect the hot water hose to the boiler outlet and the cold water hose to the cold water supply.
  5. Secure the mixer from underneath using the provided fixing components.
  6. Turn on the water supply slowly and check all connections for leaks.

Compatibility:

  • Pressure: This model is specifically designed for low-pressure systems, such as those using under-sink boilers.
  • Tap Hole: Requires a standard tap hole diameter of 35 mm.
  • Sink Material: Includes a stabilization plate for secure mounting on stainless steel sinks.

Care:

  • Clean the mixer regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
  • For stubborn water spots or calcification, use a mild detergent or a solution of vinegar and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
  • The patented jet regulator can be cleaned by gently unscrewing it from the spout and rinsing it under running water. Allow it to dry completely before reattaching.
