FAQs

What is included with the Bristan Orta Basin Taps?

The taps include the main tap body, metal handles, and metal back nuts for installation. A waste kit is NOT included and must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.

What is the warranty period for these taps?

Bristan offers a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee, subject to terms and conditions, which typically covers manufacturing defects.

Are these taps suitable for high-pressure systems?

Yes, these taps are designed to work with standard UK plumbing systems, which generally operate under mains pressure. Always check your specific system requirements.

What type of valve mechanism do these taps use?

They feature long-life and easy-to-use 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves, known for their durability and smooth operation.

Can I install these taps myself?

While possible for those with plumbing experience, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure a correct and leak-free setup.

What does WRAS-approved mean?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval signifies that the product complies with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, ensuring it is safe and suitable for use with public water supplies in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the base when turned on.

Check that the metal back nut is securely tightened. Ensure the tap is correctly seated on the basin deck and that any sealing washers are correctly positioned.

Water flow is weak or inconsistent.

Check that the isolation valves under the sink are fully open. Inspect the aerator (if applicable and accessible) for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hoses.

Handle is stiff or difficult to move.

The 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves may require servicing. If the issue persists after checking for obstructions, contact the manufacturer for potential replacement parts or further assistance under warranty.

Tap drips after being turned off.

This could indicate an issue with the ceramic disc valve. Ensure the handle is fully closed. If dripping continues, the valve may need to be replaced. Contact Bristan customer support for warranty service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These taps are designed for deck-mounted installation on basins with a single tap hole. Ensure the tap hole size is compatible. Metal back nuts are included to provide a secure fit. It is recommended that installation is performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct fitting and to prevent leaks. A waste kit will need to be purchased separately and installed according to its own instructions.

Compatibility:

Compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. Suitable for basins designed for single-lever, deck-mounted pillar taps.

Care:

To maintain the flawless chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
