FAQs

What is the warranty period for this tap?

Bristan typically offers a comprehensive warranty on their products. Please refer to the product documentation or the Bristan website for the exact warranty period and terms specific to this model.

Can I replace the shower handset with a different model?

Yes, the shower handset is connected via a standard hose fitting. You should be able to replace it with most standard shower handsets, provided they use the same thread size.

What type of valves does this tap use?

This tap features 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves, known for their durability and smooth operation.

Is this tap suitable for a gravity-fed water system?

While designed for standard UK pressures, performance on very low-pressure systems like some gravity-fed setups may vary. It's recommended to check minimum pressure requirements if you have a low-pressure system.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks or limescale, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth.

What are the dimensions of the lever handles?

The lever handles are 76mm (3 inches) in length.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off

Ensure the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves are fully closed. If the dripping persists, the ceramic disc may need cleaning or replacement. Check that the handles are correctly seated.

Low water pressure from the shower handset

Check the shower handset for limescale build-up and clean the nozzles. Ensure the 1.5mtr hose is not kinked or blocked. Verify that the main water supply to the tap is adequate and not restricted.

Tap feels loose on the bath edge

Tighten the metal back nuts underneath the bath edge. Ensure they are securely fastened to prevent movement. If the issue persists, the mounting surface might require attention.

Difficulty operating the lever handles

Check for any obstructions around the handles. If stiffness is noted, it may indicate internal component wear or limescale, potentially requiring servicing of the ceramic disc valves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This bath shower mixer tap is designed for installation on standard bath tub edges or wall mounts where a bath mixer is typically fitted. Ensure water supply to the bathroom is turned off before commencing installation. Follow the provided installation manual for detailed steps, paying close attention to securing the metal back nuts and connecting the hot and cold water feeds. The shower hose, handset, and wall bracket should be connected as per the instructions.

Compatibility: The tap is designed to work with standard UK water pressures. It is compatible with most standard bath installations. Ensure your existing pipework is suitable for connecting a bath mixer tap.

Care: To maintain the finish and function of the Bristan Value Lever Bath Shower Mixer Tap, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome surface. For internal components like the ceramic disc valves, regular checks and proper installation will ensure longevity. If limescale build-up occurs, a mild limescale remover can be used sparingly.
