FAQs
What type of plumbing system is this tap compatible with?
The Belini Basin Mixer Tap is designed to be compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. It requires connections to both hot and cold water supplies.
Does this tap come with a waste fitting?
This product is a basin mixer tap and typically does not include a separate waste fitting (like a pop-up waste). You may need to purchase this component separately to complete your basin installation.
How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For best results, dry with a soft cloth after use to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
What is the minimum and maximum water pressure required?
While specific figures vary, the tap is designed to work with standard domestic water pressures. It's advisable to consult your home's plumbing specifications or a professional for precise pressure requirements.
Can this tap be installed on a worktop instead of a basin deck?
No, this is a deck-mounted tap, meaning it is specifically designed to be installed through pre-drilled holes in the surface of a basin or a countertop that is designed to accommodate a basin mixer.
How is the water temperature controlled?
Water temperature is controlled by moving the single lever handle left (for hot) and right (for cold). The further the lever is moved in either direction, the greater the flow of that temperature water.
Troubleshooting
Tap is leaking from the base.
Ensure the fixing nut is tightened securely. Check that the rubber seals/washers are correctly seated and not damaged. If the leak persists, the internal cartridge may need replacement.
Low water flow from the spout.
Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Unscrew and clean the aerator at the tip of the spout to remove any debris. Check for any kinks or blockages in the flexible hoses.
Difficulty in adjusting temperature or flow.
The single-lever handle may be stiff. Ensure there are no obstructions. If the handle action is rough, the internal ceramic disc cartridge might be worn and require replacement.
Tap makes noise during operation.
Ensure water pressure is within the recommended range. Loose internal components or vibrations can cause noise; check if all fittings are secure.
