FAQs

What is the main benefit of the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves?

The 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves provide precise control over water flow and temperature, and they are highly durable, significantly reducing the likelihood of drips compared to traditional washered taps.

How do I clean the silver chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Always rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the shine.

Are these taps suitable for low water pressure systems?

While they function on standard systems, optimal performance, especially a strong flow, is best achieved with adequate water pressure. Check your system's pressure if flow is lower than expected.

What does 'Chrome Plating to BS EN 248' mean?

This indicates that the chrome finish meets a specific European standard (BS EN 248) for quality, durability, and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long-lasting and attractive appearance.

Can I replace just the ceramic disc valve if it fails?

Yes, ceramic disc valves are typically replaceable components. You would need to identify the correct replacement part for the Bristan Capri range.

What type of handles do these taps have?

These taps feature easy-grip lever handles, designed for simple and comfortable operation with a contemporary look.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when fully closed

The ceramic disc valve may have debris. Try turning the tap off firmly. If dripping persists, the valve may need servicing or replacement.

Low water flow from the tap

Check the aerator (if present) for blockages. Ensure your home's water pressure is adequate. Clean any filters in the supply lines.

Difficulty operating the lever handle

Ensure the handle is correctly aligned and secured. If stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant may be applied to the valve stem (refer to manufacturer instructions if available).

Water leaks from the base of the tap

Check that the back nut is tightened securely. Ensure any seals or washers are correctly positioned and intact.

  • High-quality chrome finish for a premium look

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation typically involves connecting the pillar taps to the existing hot and cold water supply lines in your bathroom. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. The metal back nuts provided ensure a firm fit to the basin or bath.

Compatibility:

These taps are designed for standard UK plumbing systems. They are suitable for pillar tap installations on baths or basins. Ensure your existing pipework is compatible with the 3/4" connection size.

Care:

To maintain the chrome finish, regularly clean the taps 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 household cleaner and rinse thoroughly with water, then dry with a soft cloth.
