Product Information

Full details

The Bristan Frammento ES BAS Mono Basin Mixer Tap in Black is designed for homeowners looking to upgrade their bathroom or WC with a stylish and water-efficient fixture. Its key benefit is the Eco Start technology, which reduces energy consumption by defaulting to cold water. A potential caveat for some users might be the integrated flow regulator, which prioritizes water saving over maximum flow rate. This tap features a durable ceramic cartridge, includes all necessary fittings for easy installation, and offers a contemporary matt black finish.

FAQs

What does Eco Start technology do?

Eco Start technology ensures that the tap defaults to cold water when the handle is in the central position. Hot water is only activated when the lever is moved to the left, preventing your boiler from running unnecessarily and saving energy.

What is the water flow rate of this tap?

This tap is fitted with a flow regulator that limits the water flow to a maximum of 5 litres per minute to conserve water.

Do I need to buy anything else for installation?

No, everything you need is included in the box, such as flexible connection tails and a clicker waste, so there's nothing extra to buy.

What is the guarantee period for this tap?

The Bristan Frammento ES BAS Mono Basin Mixer Tap comes with a 10-year guarantee on parts and a 1-year guarantee on labour.

How should I clean the matt black finish?

Clean the tap using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.

Is this tap suitable for low-pressure systems?

While the tap is designed for standard systems, performance on very low-pressure systems may vary. It's always best to check your system's pressure or consult a professional installer.

Can I replace the flow regulator if I want a higher flow rate?

The flow regulator is an integral part of the tap's water-saving design. It is not designed to be removed or replaced for higher flow rates. Tampering with it may void the warranty.

Troubleshooting

Tap drips when turned off

Ensure the tap handle is fully closed. If dripping persists, the ceramic cartridge may need cleaning or replacing. Consult the product manual or a professional.

Low water flow

Check that the flow regulator is not blocked and that the flexible tails are not kinked. Ensure the main water supply valves are fully open. Clean any debris from the aerator.

Eco Start not working correctly (hot water comes on by default)

Verify that the handle is returned to the central position after use. If the issue persists, there might be an internal issue with the cartridge or valve mechanism requiring professional attention.

Clicker waste is stiff or not operating smoothly

Remove the clicker waste assembly and clean any debris or mineral buildup. Lubricate the moving parts if necessary, following the manufacturer's guidance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tap is designed for straightforward installation, coming with flexible tails and a clicker waste. Ensure you have standard basin plumbing connections. Refer to the included installation manual for detailed step-by-step instructions. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber.

Compatibility: Suitable for standard basin installations with a single tap hole. It is compatible with most standard UK plumbing systems.

Care: To maintain the matt black finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For limescale removal, use a mild solution of water and vinegar, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
