Bristan GLL FLEXSNK C Gallery Flex Spout Kitchen Tap, Chrome, Black Flexible

I bought this tap as a replacement for my old leaky kitchen tap. It was beautiful, I was looking forward to having it installed. Anyway to cut a long story short, it wouldn't fit. I should have done my homework as to its suitability before ordering So I contacted Amazon to see what the returns policy was and to my amazement a full refund was offered, with NO returns postage. I was over the moon. If you have the room for this tap, i would highly recommend it Thank you Amazon

Bought this for an XL kitchen sink as our previous tap seemed tiny and was not really comfortable to use. This one is really big, so make sure you have enough height especially if you've got wall units hanging above the sink.The hose is very sturdy and the switch between shower and stream works even with very weak water flow, which I was comfortably surprised with. Installation was easy, everything you need except tools is included in the box. I was also quite pleased with extra long connection hoses, so you can easily sort out water connection in a narrow unit.

Bristan have a reputation for quality and this is a quality tap. It is heavy and ultra shiny and the finish is excellent. The three way valve is smooth and the water stream is gentle with a choice of jet or shower.HOWEVER there are a number of issues you should be aware of. Firstly the tap is enormous.Not only is it tall so you need plenty of height to accommodate it but the diameter of the spout is bigger than average so it looks big and heavy. If you have a small sink this tap will look overpowering. Secondly and perhaps the most important is the pull out system. The system works on a weighted principle. A heavy roundish weight is fixed to the movable pipe and this rises up and down as the tap is pulled out.It requires plenty of room to work. If you have restricted space be careful. If you have a number of pipes in the vicinity of have no room to direct the flexi tails out of the way,then you will find the weight as it rises and falls will hit the restrictions and will not work properly. Most mono bloc taps have just two flexitails underneath,this has four,the two supply tails but also a common mixer tail supply and return so there are a number of restrictions to avoid. If you also have say a dishwasher and washing machine pipework you may have a problem moving all this pipework out of the way of the weight.. I had this problem but managed to solve it by surrounding the rise and fall tails with a length of plastic so it had a clean smooth passage up and down. The next issue is the flexitails. There appears no way of removing these for replacement. They are factory fitted and are buried deep in the tap body with no way to access them. Most flexitails will not last a lifetime,they are prone to leaking. Only a small flimsy "O" ring forms the seal and they are known to leak over time so this may render the tap useless. Something to think about.Two more things. The instructions are deficient with regards to the size of the mounting hole required.It makes no mention.You can't easily measure it unless you have a pair of inside callipers. Trying to contact Bristan is a nightmare. After an hour of trying I eventually spoke to someone and discovered the hole size is between 34mm and 38mm..Finally as said trying to contact Bristan is a nightmare. Their chat facility on line does not work and their auto response telephone line is so confusing with menus and sub menus you may be inclined to give up and return the tap. Hope this helps.

This has to be my favourite thing in the whole of my new kitchen!! It’s amazing !! I have to admit I was a little bit dubious about whether it would stay in place in any position but wow does it !! Really easy to fit and the pressure on the spray setting is great. The flexibility means I can fill a mop bucket without having to put it in the sink - or I can and bend it to the correct position. I highly recommend this tap - it’s well worth the money and exceptional value for money for its versatility and functionality.

Looks the part but works well, a must have in a modern kitchen. Easy to install believe it or not sturdy and robust with a fine chrome finish.

This tap is as near perfect as I could wish. Very clean and efficient to look at, and to use. No splash, great shower function at the flick of a button. Points anyway, absolutely anyway you want (watch out for jokers in the house hold) and stays there until you move it back. The tap also swivels from sink to sink effortlessly. It is a doddle to clean, and the plumber said it was a doddle to fit.

This arrived swiftly & we are really pleased with the tap. It looks smart & feels sturdy. We had a pull-out tap where we lived before but that had no visible distinction as to whether the tap had been left on "run" or "spray": this tap reverts to "run" when turned off so I'm far less likely to spray water everywhere when I next turn the tap on! I would definitely recommend this tap.

Super quality. Very stylish. Had a lot of compliments. Perfect too with my new butler sink when I wash my little dogs after a walk and they’re all muddy as it has a quick flick switch to spray mode. Perfect.
