Frequently Asked Questions - SPI2 Caple

How do I install the Caple SPI2 faucet?

Installation requires a 1-hole deck mount. Follow the provided manual: thread the supply lines, secure the base, and connect to water supply using 3/8 inch compression fittings. Use a basin wrench for tight spaces.

What tools are needed for installation?

You'll need an adjustable wrench, basin wrench, plumber's tape, and a screwdriver. Some installations may require a drill if holes need to be enlarged.

How do I clean the faucet?

Clean with a soft damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals as they can damage the chrome finish.

What is the warranty period?

Caple offers a 5-year limited warranty on the SPI2 faucet covering manufacturing defects. Normal wear, misuse, or improper installation are not covered.

Can I install this faucet on a thicker countertop?

The faucet is designed for countertops up to 2 inches (50 mm) thick. For thicker surfaces, extension kits may be needed; consult the manual.

How do I replace the cartridge?

Turn off water supply, remove the handle (often with a set screw), unscrew the retaining nut, and pull out the old cartridge. Insert new ceramic disc cartridge and reassemble.

What should I do if the faucet leaks?

First check if the supply connections are tight. If the leak is from the spout, the cartridge may need replacement. If from the handle, tighten the packing nut.

Is the faucet compatible with a water filter?

The SPI2 does not have a built-in filter, but you can connect an inline water filter to the supply lines before the faucet. Ensure the filter has 3/8 inch compression fittings.

CARE OF YOUR TAPS

• Only clean your taps with soap or mild liquid detergent and clean water then dry using a soft cloth

PRE INSTALLATION CHECKS

• The temperature of the hot water supply must not exceed 70^ C.
• Water pressure requirements: minimum required pressure varies dependent on model, maximum pressure 5 bar.

• Always seek advice from a qualified installer to ensure your installation and water supply to your taps comply with the water regulation (WRAS) requirements and good plumbing practice.

• It is good practice to ensure that both hot and cold water supplies to your tap are of an equal pressure to provide a consistent flow. If supplies are not of equal pressure then a non return valve should be fitted on the hot inlet.

• Supplies of water should be from a common source (mains or tank fed).
• We recommend that a service valve is installed in the supply lines to the tap to enable water isolation if required.

POST INSTALLATION POINTS

• We suggest when connecting screw connections that PTFE tape is used before the joints are fully tightened.
• Before use correctly check the installation for leaks, and turn the hot and cold water on to thoroughly flush any small particles that may have been dislodged during the tap installation.
