Product Information
Full details
This Bristan Echo Easyfit Mono Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap in Black is designed for homeowners seeking a straightforward installation process and a stylish, functional addition to their kitchen. Its key benefit is the unique patented top fix system, allowing for easy fitting from above the sink, simplifying DIY projects. A potential consideration is that it's a mono-bloc tap, meaning hot and cold water are mixed within the tap body and controlled by a single lever.

FAQs
What is the 'Top Fix' system?
The Top Fix system allows you to install the tap from above the sink, meaning you don't need to crawl underneath to secure it, making installation much simpler and quicker.
Does this tap come with flexible hoses?
Yes, the tap includes supplied flexi-tails for connecting to your water supply.
How do I clean the black finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
Can I replace the cartridges myself?
Yes, the tap uses standard quarter-turn ceramic disc valves which can typically be replaced if they become worn. The Easyfit system is designed for straightforward maintenance.
What is the warranty period?
Bristan typically offers a long warranty on their taps. Please refer to the product packaging or the official Bristan website for the exact warranty details for this model.
Is this tap suitable for high-pressure systems?
Yes, this tap is designed to work with standard household water pressures.
What tools are included for installation?
The tap includes an Allen key, isolation valves, Top Fix Easyfit base, Easyfit tool, and flexi tails.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping
The ceramic disc valves may require tightening or replacement. Ensure the tap is fully closed. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Low water pressure
Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator on the spout for blockages (unscrew and clean if necessary). Ensure there are no kinks in the flexi-tails.
Tap is loose
Re-tighten the fixings from underneath the sink using the Allen key or Easyfit tool. Ensure the base is securely locked onto the sink.
Water temperature is difficult to control
Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are connected correctly to the appropriate inlets. Check that the single lever is operating smoothly.

Compatibility: This is a mono-bloc tap designed to fit a standard single tap hole found in most kitchen sinks. It connects to standard UK water supply pressures and fittings.
Care: Clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the black finish. For limescale build-up, use a mild descaler and rinse thoroughly. Periodically check the flexi-tails for any signs of wear.
