Bristan Monobloc Kitchen Mixer Tap

Aftercare Instructions

Your fitting has a high quality finish and should be treated with care to preserve the visible surfaces.

All surface finishes will wear if not cleaned correctly. The only safe way to clean your mixer is to wipe with a soft damp cloth. Stains can be removed using washing up liquid. All bath cleaning powders and liquids will damage the surface of your fitting, even the non-scratch cleaners. Note: Never use abrasive detergents or disinfectants or those containing alcohol, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid.

Bristan recommend E-Cloth for cleaning all of our bathroom & kitchen products. Using just water, E-cloth gives a smear-free, deep clean by breaking up and holding dirt, which normal cloths leave behind. Order through your Bristan stockist. (Order Code: ECLOTH)

Water Pressure

This mixer is suitable for use at all supply pressures. However, for optimum use, both the hot and cold supplies should be reasonably balanced.

Operating Pressures: Min 0.2 bar, Max 8.0 bar.

If the fitting is installed at low pressure (tank fed), then the minimum distance from the highest installed position of the shower head to the underside of the cold tank should be 2 metres to ensure adequate shower performance.

This mixer should be installed in compliance with the Water Regulations. Where the supplies are unbalanced, i.e. hot water from cylinder tank / cold from the mains, approved check valves must be fitted in the supply pipes.

For further details, contact your Local Water Authority.

Important - Please Read

This fitting needs to be installed in accordance with the following Installation Requirements and Notes (IRN) to ensure they meet the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and the Scottish Byelaws 2004.

Before starting any installation project, please consider:

Prior to drilling into walls, check there are no hidden electrical wires, cables or water supply pipes with the aid of an electronic detector. If you use power tools, do not forget:
