Product Information

Full details

This Bristan Maple kitchen sink mixer tap is designed for homeowners seeking an energy-efficient, easy-to-install, and durable tap solution. Its key benefit lies in the Eco Start technology, which helps reduce energy consumption by defaulting to cold water. A potential consideration is that it requires a standard kitchen sink setup for compatibility. The tap features a patented top-fix design, integrated isolation valves, flexi tails, a swivel spout, and a long-life ceramic cartridge for reliable daily use.

FAQs

What is Eco Start technology?

Eco Start technology means the tap defaults to a cold water flow when the handle is in the central position. This prevents the boiler from unnecessarily activating for hot water, thus saving energy.

How do I install this tap myself?

The tap features a patented Top Fix design, allowing installation from above the sink with the provided Easyfit tool. Ensure you have basic plumbing knowledge and follow the step-by-step instructions in the manual.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

Bristan typically offers a long guarantee on their taps, often a lifetime guarantee on the body and a 5-year guarantee on moving parts like the ceramic cartridge. Please refer to the product packaging or Bristan's official website for the exact warranty terms.

Can I replace the handle if it gets damaged?

Yes, replacement parts for Bristan taps are generally available. You would typically need to identify the specific model and part number, then order through a Bristan stockist or their parts department.

What is the minimum water pressure required?

This tap is designed to work effectively with a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar. For optimal performance, a pressure between 1.0 and 5.0 bar is recommended.

Does the tap come with the necessary hoses and fittings?

Yes, the tap includes flexi tails for connection to the water supply and the necessary metal fixings and Easyfit tool for secure attachment.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping from the spout

The ceramic disc cartridge may be worn or require cleaning. Turn off the water supply, remove the handle, and inspect/clean the cartridge. If damaged, replace the cartridge.

Low water flow

Check the aerator on the spout for blockages and clean it. Ensure the isolation valves are fully open and check for kinks in the flexi tails. Verify your water pressure meets the minimum requirement.

Tap is loose

Tighten the securing nut from underneath the sink using the provided tool or appropriate spanner. Ensure the rubber seals are correctly seated.

Eco Start not functioning correctly (only hot water on startup)

This could indicate an installation issue or a fault with the cartridge. Double-check installation manual for correct handle orientation and cartridge seating. Contact manufacturer support if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The tap is designed for straightforward installation using the patented Top Fix system. Ensure the sink or worktop has a standard tap hole. Connect the included flexi tails to your hot and cold water supply lines. Use the provided Easyfit tool and screws to secure the tap from above the sink. It is recommended to flush the water system before use to remove any debris.

Compatibility: This tap is designed for standard kitchen sink installations. Ensure your water pressure is within the recommended range for optimal performance (typically 0.5 to 5.0 bar).

Care: Clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For limescale buildup, use a mild solution of water and vinegar, then rinse thoroughly.
