FAQs
What type of valve technology do these taps use?
These taps utilize 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves, known for their durability, smooth operation, and resistance to dripping.
Are these taps suitable for a combi boiler system?

How long is the warranty period?

What are the dimensions of the lever handles?
The taps are supplied with 76mm (3") metal lever handles.
Can I install these taps myself?
While basic installation might seem straightforward, it is recommended to have these taps installed by a qualified plumber to ensure proper sealing, secure fitting, and optimal performance, especially given their weight and connection requirements.
What is the weight of the product?
The product weighs 2.38 pounds.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent damage to the plating.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping or leaking
This is often resolved by the ceramic disc valves. Ensure the tap is fully closed. If the issue persists, the internal valve may require servicing or replacement, which should be done by a qualified plumber.
Low water flow from one or both taps
Check if the aerator (if applicable) is blocked with sediment and clean it. Also, verify that the isolation valves under the sink are fully open. Ensure compatibility with your plumbing system pressure.
Taps feel loose or wobbly
The metal back nuts may need tightening. This typically requires access from underneath the bath or sink where the tap is mounted. Contact a plumber if you cannot access or tighten them securely.
Difficulty turning the lever handles
Ensure there are no obstructions. If the handles feel stiff, the internal valve mechanism may need lubrication or servicing by a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connections and prevent leaks. The taps are designed to be deck-mounted onto a bath. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat. Securely tighten the metal back nuts to prevent movement.
Compatibility:
These taps are suitable for all plumbing systems, including low-pressure (e.g., gravity-fed) and high-pressure (e.g., combi boiler) systems. Ensure your water pressure falls within the specified operating range provided by the manufacturer.
Care:
To maintain the high-shine finish, regularly clean the taps with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome plating. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
