FAQs

What does 'offset design' mean for this tap leg?

The offset design means the tap leg has a slight curve or angle within its structure. This allows the tap to be positioned more accurately and stand straight on surfaces where the tap hole might not be perfectly perpendicular to the deck, ensuring a visually appealing and stable installation.

Is this tap leg suitable for all types of taps?

This tap leg is specifically designed for Home Range Sequel tap bodies and compatible models. It may not fit taps from other brands or different series due to variations in stem diameter and mounting requirements.

What material is the tap leg made of?

The tap leg is made of metal with a chrome-plated finish, ensuring durability, strength, and corrosion resistance.

Can I use this for a bath tap as well as a sink tap?

While primarily intended for basin and sink tap installations, its function of securing and aligning tap bodies means it could be suitable for certain bath tap configurations, provided compatibility is confirmed.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the primary benefit of using an offset tap leg?

The primary benefit is achieving perfect vertical alignment of the tap on the deck, even if the tap hole is slightly angled or off-center, leading to a more professional and aesthetically pleasing installation.

Troubleshooting

Tap feels wobbly after installation

Check that the fixing nut securing the tap leg is tightened properly. Ensure the tap leg is seated correctly against the deck surface.

Tap is not aligning straight

Verify that the offset design is being utilized correctly to compensate for the angle of the tap hole. Ensure no debris is obstructing the seating of the tap leg.

Difficulty threading the fixing stem

Ensure the tap leg is aligned correctly with the mounting hole and that there are no cross-threads. Clean any debris from the threads on both the tap leg and the corresponding fixing mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  4. Secure the tap leg from underneath using the appropriate nut or fixing mechanism (often supplied with the tap or purchased separately).
