FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for these taps?

The Bristan Value Crosshead High Neck Sink Pillar Taps require a minimum pressure of 0.2 bar to function correctly.

Are these taps suitable for a combi-boiler system?

Yes, they are suitable for all plumbing systems, including combi-boiler systems, provided the minimum pressure requirement of 0.2 bar is met.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching.

What is the warranty period for these taps?

The taps come with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.

Can these taps be installed on a 2-hole sink?

Yes, these are pillar taps designed for deck-mounted installation on sinks or worktops with appropriate tap holes.

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS approval signifies that the product has been tested and meets the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards in the UK, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and prevents waste, undue consumption, or contamination of water.

Are replacement parts available?

For specific replacement parts or warranty claims, it is best to contact Bristan customer support directly, referencing your product model (VAX HNK C).

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off

Check if the tap is fully closed. If the dripping persists, the internal valve may need servicing or replacement. Contact Bristan support for warranty service.

Low water flow

Ensure the minimum 0.2 bar pressure is met. Check for any kinks in the supply hoses. Clean any aerator or sieve at the end of the spout, as these can become blocked with debris.

Water pressure seems inconsistent

Verify that your home's water system is providing adequate and consistent pressure. Check for any shared water source issues with neighbors, if applicable.

Tap is noisy during operation

This could indicate water hammer or air in the system. Ensure all connections are secure and that there are no obstructions in the pipework. Sometimes, simply running the tap for a minute can clear air pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These taps are designed for deck-mounted installation on standard sinks or worktops. Ensure the sink has appropriate tap holes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for connecting the water supply hoses and securing the tap with the provided metal back nuts. It is recommended to have a qualified plumber perform the installation.

Compatibility:

Suitable for all plumbing systems. A minimum operating pressure of 0.2 bar is required for optimal performance. They feature a single flow, making them ideal for standard sink setups.

Care:
