FAQs
Are these taps a mixer tap?
No, these are pillar taps designed for separate hot and cold water supplies, requiring two holes in the bath.
What is the minimum water pressure required?
The Bristan Cobalt Bath Pillar Taps require a minimum dynamic pressure of 0.2 bar for optimal performance.
How do I clean the black finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the finish. Mild, non-abrasive cleaners can be used sparingly if needed, followed by rinsing and drying.
What is the warranty period for these taps?
The Bristan Cobalt Bath Pillar Taps come with a 10-year guarantee for peace of mind.
What type of valves do these taps use?
They feature long-life and easy-to-use 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves.
Can these taps be installed on a pressure-free system?
No, these taps require a minimum dynamic pressure of 0.2 bar and are not suitable for completely pressure-free systems.
What are the dimensions of the connection inlet?
The connection inlet size is 3/4" BSP.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping when turned off
This is often caused by debris in the ceramic disc valve. Try turning the water off and then fully opening and closing the tap a few times. If the problem persists, the valve may need cleaning or replacement.
Low water flow from the tap
Check that the water supply is fully on and that the system meets the minimum required pressure (0.2 bar). Ensure the antisplash outlet is not blocked. If water pressure is low throughout the house, a pressure-boosting system might be considered.
Difficulty in turning the lever handle
Ensure the ceramic disc valve is properly seated and free from debris. The valve mechanism should provide smooth operation; if it feels stiff, there may be an issue with the internal components.
Black finish is discolored or scratched
Avoid using abrasive cleaning products. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Deep scratches may be permanent and cannot be easily repaired.
