Very helpful video. 3 years ago I actually chose a Pegler Jeroni swan neck single lever. Well Friday night the whole swan neck has completely come off. We had to wind it back on several times a week for the last 3months. Now the spout doesn;t even screw back on - it's too loose when I try and put it back on to the base of the tap. Do i need to poke an O ring inside the thread of the spout? Any ideas how to fix this please? Just until this Bank Holiday is over and I can get a plumber out. We are kitchen sink tapless! I really though Pegler were the Rolls Royce of taps??? Is nothing made to last anymore? Thanks for the video.

Bristan have an issue with that model ( echo) I've fitted 3 sets of cartridges to it within 2 years of fitting it. Bristan admitted the company which supplies the carts ti them were inferior, so now they have totally different carts & heads . Like you I went to town on them about the so called easi fit ! & the customer service agent agreed. Especially when i commented about having to fit the white thrust plate as well on them, as it then doesn't become an easi fit!! I have fitted loads of these taps & have not had any issues in fitting them or blowing off . Bristan now offer 10years parts warranty on all thier products thats pretty good. Cooke & Lewis what you fitted from my understanding is 12 months on the carts but 5yrs on yhe finish !! What I tend to fit now are Franke taps great customer care & straightforward install with the 1 post install. Check out the Franke Athena as it gives good flow on LP & comes with M12 tails as opposed to M10 which are rubbish on LP so I always ask the customer what their plumbing system is so I know im not going to get poor flow. As for Roca donut seals they're quite difficult to get hold of off the shelf as they're a specific design and you can't use any other donut on them. I try to carry a couple on the truck for situations such as what you had to do. You don't have to fit Roca fill valve & flush valve as ling as you have a new Roca donut seal , any 2" flushvalve such siamp viva etc will work a treat. Roca flush valves aren't cheap close to 40 quid & 20 quid for the button. Viva are about 15quid !! Worth baring in mind for the future 👌

Worst taps ever, Bristan have changed the original grubscrew design twice because they well know theres a problem, but you'll never get them to admit it. The 1st design is apparently the worst, I have had one blow the tap off, fortunately customer could turn water off immediately. The grub screw had literally tore through the brass, maybe customer had been swinging on the tap but even so that shouldnt happen. I ended up going back to every Easifit I'd ever fitted and checking the grub screws. They had come slightly loose on the 1st designs, I threadlocked them back in. Will never use Bristan again. Their showers are also sh1t, and dont even get me started on the bath shower mixer diverters. Great video Tiffybobs.

Na I think I’d side with Tiff. What rhymes with fit? I’ve put a few in as well. It’s far from easy, unless of course you’ve got two elbows on one arm and it happens to be 6 ft long. You usually have to ask the customer to hold it in place. Try putting one of those on a butler sink and you’ll know all about it. However BS offer a generous 10 year guarantee and if you can be bothered to supply an image of the laser etching on the back of the tap they usually have no issue suppling spares. I also see a lot of Bristan taps dripping. Is that because they are popular. Or s@@t. I wouldn’t touch their electric showers with a barge pole. Bristan Joy. What a joy.

Would you not disconnect the bottom connections first on a regular kitchen tap? Lol
@MJTiffPlumbing2 жыл бұрын
Yes you would…. Lol Your missing the point, the Bristan “easyfit” is supposed to be easy to switch by turning the water off and swapping the tap unit, but this clearly shows you can’t just shut it off and remove it, you have to disconnect and drain the Pipework…. So it’s not as easy as they make out….. hence the whole point of what I’ve shown in the video
