FAQs

What is the main advantage of lever handles?

Lever handles are easier to operate than traditional knobs, especially for individuals with limited hand strength or mobility. They also offer precise control over water flow.

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval signifies that the product has been tested and meets the high standards set by UK water regulations, ensuring it is safe and suitable for use with public water supplies.

How do I identify the hot and cold taps?

The taps have red and blue indicator rings on their lever handles for easy identification of hot (red) and cold (blue) water.

What is a quarter-turn ceramic disc valve?

This type of valve requires only a quarter turn of the handle to go from fully off to fully on. Ceramic discs are highly durable and provide a smooth, drip-free operation compared to older washer-based systems.

What is the thread size for installation?

The taps feature a standard 3/4" BSP threaded connection.

How long is the manufacturer's guarantee?

These taps come with a 5-year manufacturer guarantee.

Can these taps be used with a combi boiler?

Yes, these taps are generally compatible with most water systems, including those fed by combi boilers, provided water pressure is adequate.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off

This may indicate an issue with the ceramic disc valve. Ensure the lever is fully closed. If the dripping persists, the valve may need replacement (refer to manufacturer's guarantee for support).

Low water flow

Check for any blockages in the aerator (if applicable) or pipework. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open.

Difficulty turning the lever handle

Check for any debris around the valve stem. If the handle is stiff, it might indicate sediment build-up, and further maintenance may be required.

Red/blue indicator rings are loose

These are typically decorative. If they become detached, they can usually be re-secured carefully by hand or with a small amount of adhesive if necessary.
