Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of the Ideal Standard Cone basin pillar taps typically involves connecting them to your existing hot and cold water supply lines beneath the basin. Ensure you have the necessary tools, such as wrenches and plumber's tape. It is recommended to turn off the main water supply before starting.
- Position the taps through the pre-drilled holes in the basin.
- Secure the taps from underneath using the provided fixing nuts and washers.
- Connect the flexible hoses or pipework to the tap tails and the water supply.
- Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
Compatibility:
These taps are designed for standard UK basin installations with a typical 1/2" BSP thread connection. Ensure your plumbing system can accommodate this. They are suitable for both high and low-pressure systems due to the ceramic disc technology.
Care:
To maintain the silver finish and ensure longevity:
- Wipe clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
- Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leaks.
