FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Bristan Capri Bath Shower Mixer Tap?

The tap comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to terms and conditions.

Do I need a pressure-reducing valve?

This tap requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.3 bar. If your system pressure is lower, you may need a booster pump. If your pressure is very high, a pressure-reducing valve might be advisable, although the tap is designed for standard domestic systems.

Are the waste fittings included with the tap?

No, waste fittings such as the bath waste and overflow are not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the anti-limescale shower handset?

Gently rub the flexible nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any limescale. For tougher build-up, a mild household descaler can be applied cautiously, followed by rinsing.

What type of valves does this tap use?

It uses long-life, easy-to-use 1/4 turn 3/4" ceramic disc valves for smooth operation and durability.

Can this tap be used with a combi boiler system?

Yes, the tap is suitable for all plumbing systems, including combination boiler systems, provided the minimum operating pressure of 0.3 bar is met.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Ensure the 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves are fully closed. If the drip persists, the internal valves may need servicing or replacement.

Low water flow from shower handset

Check the shower hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the rub-clean anti-limescale nozzles on the handset. Ensure sufficient water pressure (minimum 0.3 bar).

Difficulty switching between bath and shower

Check that the diverter mechanism is operating freely. Mineral deposits can sometimes cause stiffness; a mild descaler might help if used carefully according to instructions.

No hot or cold water from the tap

Verify that the main water supply is on and that the hot and cold feeds to the tap are correctly connected and not obstructed.
