Bristan Echo Easy Fit Kitchen Sink Lever Handles Tall Swivel Spout Mixer Tap Faucet Chrome Plated (EC SNK EF C)

This item was fitted by a professional person who said it was the easiest set of taps that he had fitted.

Just had this fitted. Very nice tap. My plumber says it is very good quality and easy to fit.

excellent kitchen tap. very useful when you are baking etc as you can just push the tap with one finge

Had to send the first one back as it dripped. The replacement was sent by return of post. Replacement does not drip. BTW these taps are only very easy to fit if you are replacing an existing easy fit tap. As you can leave the under the sink part of it in place and just change the actual tap.

Easy to install if you have isolating values already fitted. But the product comes with everything you need including isolating valves. So very good.
Very good quality and the flow of water does not splash!! Good solid product. I have now fitted 2 of these because they are extremely good.

Old tap started to leak, so replaced it with like for like, it was very easy to install. But best of all when you turn the tap off, there is no after drip unlike the previous model.
Would recommend it.

We saw this tap first in a local builder’s merchants however they wanted much more than we bought it for on Amazon — It was delivered quickly and before the time stated on our order – on opening the box we discovered there was no fitting instruction – I rang Bristan’s Help Line number and got a recorded message to say it had been changed — Finally after getting another number I got to speak to a very helpful lady who gave me a case number and sent me an email with a pdf file of the instructions — Installation was not quite as easy as I was hoping, but this was down to our ‘Carron Phoenik’ sink, the hole was too small so the Push Fit Connector would not just slip in from the top, so rather than enlarging it I took the connector apart, then with my wife holding the top in place I offered the bottom up to the top from under the sink where she was able to turn the Allan key until it was firmly in place — connecting the flexible connectors to the Push-Fit connector was so easy and required little effort and again connecting the flexibles to the house pipework was straight forward although I did put some ptfe tape round the threads before tightening them up — I applied a little grease to the tap connectors (supplied) and making sure the securing screws lined up with the rebates on the Push Fit Connector pushed the tap body firmly in place – then finally screwing the two securing Alan screws fully home — This ‘Bristan Easy-Fit Echo Tap’ was much easier to fit then the old one it replaced .
Sadly, we then discovered our mixer arm was bent! – something we had not noticed until this point — I emailed Bristan and attached an image of the damaged arm but after two days of not getting a reply I was getting concerned so I rang Amazon and explained the problem again to a very helpful lady, there was no further questions asked, the lady told me we would have a replacement within two days — Thankfully all we had to do was change over the mixer arm and return the damaged one.
We are VERY PLEASED with our ‘Echo Easy-fit Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap’ and EVEN MORE PLEASED with Amazons response and quick service — six days on and still no reply from Bristan!!!!

Just the tap I was looking for, easy to get my kettle underneath and easy to use handles. My plumber had to use guidelines to fit it but when I need a replacement tap easy, as long as I choose Bristan easy fit.

This is a good quality tap but not cheap, you get what you pay for here. It was easy to install and uses Bristan’s quick fix system so when you have to replace it you don’t need to re-plumb it.

I purchased this to replace my current easy fit tap unfortunately the bottom plinth was bigger than my existing one so I was enable to swap this over. I wouldn’t have been happy to pay more than 50 for this. The existing bristan tap I have is much better quality.

Bristan Easyfit Taps are a great stepforward from the taps of years ago. The taps can fitted simply and quickly from above & are absolutely brilliant.

My old one was plumbed in with copper pipe but if you have valves to flexi then I coundnt imagine how easy this tap is to fit !! You get new flexi with valves in kit !! Amazing value for what you get and bristan !! Never buy cheap taps !! These are great 🙂

Top quality and British but don’t be fooled they aren’t easy to fit, they are amazingly easy to replace when you want to but the first fit is very difficult. Professionals only.

I didn’t install the tap, my plumber did & I did need to assist him at one point as having his head under the sink & not having Mr Tiggle arms he needed help. But that said it looks good & doesn’t trip either. This is the 3rd Bristan set of taps I’ve had installed as you get what you pay for.

Good option if you need to replace your tap. Good installation instructions.

Arrived promptly. Well packaged. Easy to fit. I like the levers -move nicely and tap looks smart in the kitchen. It’s release a bit of water after its turned off-clearly what’s left in the bend and it only happens once then stops. Happy with the purchase.

Bought this Bristan Echo Sink Tap which is well built and looks smart very pleased.
The only downside is the over run when turned off but taking a hint from a previous reviewer I cut a disc from the mesh of a s/steel tea strainer and fitted under the washer in the end of the cap at the tap outlet. Bingo the tap no longer over runs.

Made the mistake of buying a cheap tap when having our new kitchen fitted 2 years ago. The ceramic washer was going and caused all sorts of vibrations and noises through the pipes in the house, even when it wasn’t being used and we were flushing toilets/using taps upstairs. Bought this Bristan easyfit tap and 30 minutes later it was all sorted. Amazing price too. Took advantage of a “Warehouse deal” and got a reasonable priced tap even cheaper.

You can always trust Bristan!!

I needed a tap that worked well with unbalanced feeds (my hot water feed is low pressure and my cold feed is high mains pressure). If you are fitting the tap yourself, the easyfit system makes the job a lot easier.
I do have the ‘running on’ problem that many others have, hence 4 stars, otherwise it would be a 5 star product.

One of the few high pressure mixers on the market, fantastic quality and best value, all Bristan products are good

Very pleased with this tap – the hot vs cold mix is easily and accurately achieved. Love that the kettle goes underneath without any tilting. Small pleasures…

The number of parts included in the box is off putting, quite complex to fit but it all went together well. Not sure the plug & socket is totally worth the bother. To those complaining about water issuing from the spout after you turn the tap off, this is caused by siphoning. You can cure this by fitting an aerating nozzle, this gives you bubbly water and stops the siphoning.

A good quality easy to install kitchen tap that operates smoothly without any drips after turning off. I expect it will give years of reliable use.

The fitting went reasonably well, the only difficult part being the removal of the older dripping tap. The supplied instructions are just fine.

One annoyance, as already mentioned in an earlier review, is the water run-off after the tap is turned off. (See video).

Edit: I’ve cured the water run-off by replacing the tap aerator with the one from the previous tap. Bingo!

Very pleased with this item and also a good price

This is a very good quality tap and its perfect for our new kitche

A Lovely Swan Neck Tap. Never had a swan neck tap before so done lots of research. We noticed some reviewers refer to the dribbles after you turn off the tap, but this applies to ALL swan neck taps, it’s due to the design of the long spout, so if any have given one star due to this should have done a bit more research before buying.
The easy fit system is different! When my husband fitted it he found it very unusual, but because we have very little room under our kitchen sink it proved to be a very handy way of fitting. I read one reviewer who said there was only one grub screw holding the tap in position on top that isn’t true, there are two screws one each side of the tap base which needs a tiny allan key to fit
(and we would not expect Bristan to suppy this to fit them!)
The tap tails which come up through the sink hole, hot is the plain pipe and cold is the screw threaded pipe are in the right positions, if the pipework for your mixer tap is plumbed in correctly your hot should be on your left and cold on your right, so if anyone says differently they are incorrect or their plumbing is wrong.
All in all we love this tap. The water comes out fast when opened up full and there is NO splashing with the high pressure cold. The gravity fed hot side comes out very well at about 6 litres per minute. It looks Lovely and isn’t overly large as some are, it does wobble slightly on our metal sink but no more than our old tap did, we do not have a tap support underneath so this is probably why. I do sometimes knock the tap but I will get use to it being bigger than the old one.
The box is very protective of the tap when sent through the post and there was no damage at all, and it also came with flexible hoses which also have water isolation valves and non return valves in the end of the hoses – FANTASTIC!
Very very happy with my lovely new tap.
Would recommend.

This turned out to be an excellent buy. It is in the middle to top of the cost range, but turned out to be worth it. The packaging could have been better, as there was damage to the outer cover due to the packed item (the tap and display box) being able to move around inside. We employed a local plumbing firm that we have used before to fit the Monobloc Sink Mixer, it had been they who had recommended buying a Bristan Tap (we had being having consist problems with out previous kitchen fitting). The plumber / fitter, installed the tap without any apparent trouble, and we have being using it for about a month at the time of writing this review. At first it was about getting use to the size of the tap as it is so much larger than our previous fitting. This actual turned out to be a bonus as now with the Echo’s taller tower / spout, we can get kitchen ware that we need to fill under it very easily. I see no reason not to recommend this Bristan Echo Tap with our use of it so far.
