Kitchen Sink Pillar Taps - KeyPlumb - Silver

Yes, these taps are suitable for all water pressures, including those from combi boiler systems.

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been rigorously tested and complies with strict UK water supply regulations, ensuring it is safe and efficient to use.

While straightforward, installation requires basic plumbing knowledge. If you are not comfortable with plumbing, it is recommended to hire a qualified professional.

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the finish.

The 'pair' includes both the hot and cold pillar taps required for a standard kitchen sink.

For economy-focused taps like these, replacement parts like internal cartridges might be available from the manufacturer or specialized plumbing suppliers, but often it's more cost-effective to replace the entire unit if a major component fails.

This usually indicates a worn-out washer or seal within the tap mechanism. Turn off the water supply, dismantle the handle and valve, and replace the relevant internal components. If unsure, consult a qualified plumber.

Check the aerator (if fitted) for blockages, such as limescale or debris. Unscrew the aerator and clean it. Also, check the isolation valves under the sink to ensure they are fully open. If the issue persists, there may be a blockage in the supply pipe.

The internal valve mechanism may require lubrication or replacement. Turn off the water supply and attempt to lubricate the valve stem. If this does not resolve the stiffness, the valve may need to be replaced.

This could be due to high water pressure or loose connections. Ensure all fittings are secure. If high water pressure is suspected, a pressure-reducing valve may be necessary. Check that the tap is securely mounted to the sink.
