FAQs

What material is the tap made of?

The tap is constructed from durable solid brass with a corrosion and rust-resistant chrome finish. The levers are made of ceramic.

How long does installation typically take?

The tap is designed for straightforward DIY installation, which should take approximately 30 minutes for most users.

Does this tap come with the necessary hoses?

Yes, the complete package includes two hot and cold hoses and all necessary accessories for installation.

Can I use this tap with low water pressure?

While the tap will function, it is designed to perform optimally with standard water pressure to ensure the best experience with the drip-free cartridges and swivel spout.

How do I clean the white ceramic levers?

Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For minor marks, a mild soap solution followed by drying with a soft cloth should suffice.

What is the swivel range of the spout?

The high-arc spout offers a full 360-degree swivel, providing ample clearance and range of motion.

Is this tap suitable for a modern kitchen design?

This tap features a traditional Victorian style, which is best suited for kitchens with classic or vintage aesthetics. It may not align with minimalist or ultra-modern designs.

Troubleshooting

Tap is not dispensing water or has very low flow.

Ensure the main water supply is turned on. Check that the hot and cold hoses are fully opened and not kinked. Remove and clean the aerator at the spout tip, as it may be blocked by debris.

Tap is dripping from the spout after being turned off.

The drip-free cartridge may require cleaning or replacement. Turn off the water supply, and carefully remove the handle and cartridge to inspect for debris. If debris is found, clean it and reassemble. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need replacing.

The spout is stiff or difficult to swivel.

Check that the mounting hardware securing the tap to the sink is not overtightened, as this can restrict movement. Ensure no debris is trapped around the base of the spout. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant may be applied to the swivel joint (ensure it is food-safe if used for kitchen taps).

Leaking from the base of the tap or under the sink.

Turn off the water supply immediately. Check that the mounting nuts and washers are securely tightened. Inspect the seals and hoses for damage. If leaks persist, contact a professional plumber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tap is designed for straightforward DIY installation and should take approximately 30 minutes. Ensure you have basic plumbing tools. Turn off the main water supply before beginning. Follow the provided diagram to connect the hot and cold hoses to the corresponding inlets on the tap and then to your water supply lines. Secure the tap to the sink or countertop using the provided mounting hardware. Once installed, turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.

Compatibility: The tap is designed to be compatible with standard UK sink and plumbing configurations. It requires a minimum water pressure for optimal performance of the cartridges and swivel action.

Care: To maintain the chrome finish and white ceramic levers, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn water spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth. Periodically check the hose connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
