Setup and Installation

Before starting, ensure you have the necessary tools: adjustable spanner, screwdriver, PTFE tape, and a basin wrench (if needed).

1. Prepare the Basin: Ensure the basin hole is clean and free of debris. If replacing an old tap, remove it and clean the area thoroughly.
2. Install the Tap:
   • Attach the flexible connection hoses to the base of the tap, ensuring a tight seal.
   • Feed the hoses and the pop-up waste rod (if applicable) through the basin hole.
   • From underneath the basin, secure the tap using the provided fixing kit (washer and nut). Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
3. Connect Water Supply:
   • Connect the flexible hoses to your hot and cold water supply pipes. Use PTFE tape on threaded connections to prevent leaks.
   • Ensure the hot and cold connections are correctly aligned.
4. Install Pop-Up Waste:
   • Assemble the pop-up waste mechanism according to its specific instructions.
   • Insert the waste body into the basin drain hole, ensuring a watertight seal with the provided gaskets/sealant.
   • Connect the pop-up waste rod from the tap to the waste mechanism. Adjust the rod for smooth operation of the waste plug.
5. Test for Leaks: Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. Run the tap for a few minutes to flush out any debris and re-check for leaks.

Operation

The Bristan J SMBAS C Java Small Basin Mixer features a single lever handle for controlling both water flow and temperature.

• Water Flow: Lift the lever handle upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to decrease or turn off the flow.
• Temperature Control: Move the lever handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. Adjust the position between left and right to achieve your desired water temperature.
• Pop-Up Waste: The pop-up waste is controlled by a small knob or lever located at the back of the tap. Push or pull this knob/lever to open or close the basin waste plug.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your Bristan tap.

• Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical-based cleaning agents, as these can damage the chrome finish and internal components.
• Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew and clean the aerator at the end of the spout to remove any mineral deposits or debris that may affect water flow.
• Leak Checks: Periodically check under the basin for any signs of leaks around the tap base or connections. Address any leaks promptly.
