FAQs

What is the warranty period for these taps?

The Bristan Value Lever High Neck Pillar Kitchen Sink Taps come with a five-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Are these taps suitable for a hard water area?

While the ceramic disc technology offers good durability, regular cleaning is recommended in hard water areas to prevent limescale buildup, which can affect performance and appearance.

Can I replace the levers with different ones?

The levers are part of the tap design. While specific replacement parts might be available through Bristan, custom lever replacements are generally not recommended and may void the warranty.

How do I clean the silver finish without damaging it?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Are these taps easy to install for a DIYer?

Basic installation can be done by a DIYer if they have plumbing experience and the correct tools. However, for optimal results and to avoid potential leaks, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended.

What type of valve mechanism do these taps use?

These taps utilize ceramic disc technology for smooth operation and durability.

What is the height clearance under the spout?

The high neck design provides significant clearance, making it suitable for washing large items. Specific measurements would be available in the technical datasheet if provided by the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping from the spout.

This typically indicates an issue with the ceramic disc valve. Ensure the tap is fully closed. If dripping persists, the ceramic disc cartridge may need to be replaced. Refer to the manufacturer's guide or contact a plumber.

Low water pressure.

Check if the flow aerator (if applicable and removable) is clogged with limescale or debris. Unscrew the aerator, clean it, and reattach. Also, ensure that the main water supply to the property is adequate and that no other fixtures are causing a pressure drop.

Leaking from the base of the tap.

This could be due to loose connections or a worn seal. Check that the tap is securely mounted to the sink. If the leak persists, the seals or the mounting mechanism may need tightening or replacement by a qualified professional.

Stiff or difficult to move levers.

Mineral deposits or debris may be affecting the ceramic disc valves. Try gently working the levers back and forth. If this doesn't help, a cartridge replacement might be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to operate with large levers.
  • Durable ceramic disc valves ensure longevity.
  • High neck provides excellent clearance for washing large items.
  • Classic silver finish suits many kitchen decors.
  • Reliable performance for everyday use.

Cons

  • May not integrate with extremely modern or minimalist kitchen designs.
  • Requires standard plumbing connections; specialized installations may need professional help.
  • The lever design, while classic, might be less ergonomic for users with limited hand strength compared to single-lever mixer taps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These taps are designed for standard kitchen sink installations. Ensure you have appropriate plumbing access and connections. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure correct fitting and prevent leaks. Follow the manufacturer's installation guide carefully, paying attention to the orientation of hot and cold water supplies.

Compatibility:

Compatible with most standard kitchen sink setups with two tap holes. The connections are designed for typical UK plumbing systems. Please verify your existing plumbing configuration before installation.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and function of your taps:

  1. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary.
  2. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the silver finish.
  3. Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
  4. Periodically check for any signs of wear or potential leaks around the base and handles.
