Frequently Asked Questions - INSJÖN IKEA

What is the recommended maximum water temperature for the INSJÖN faucet?

The recommended maximum water temperature is 80 °C (176 °F). However, a continuous temperature of 60 °C (140 °F) is suggested for everyday use.

What is the required mounting hole diameter for installation?

The mounting hole diameter must be between 34 mm and 37 mm (1 3/8 to 1 1/2 inches).

How do I connect the hoses?

Use the supplied G1/2 connection. Do not overtighten the hoses to avoid damage to the washers. Ensure the hot and cold supplies are connected appropriately.

Do I need to check valves?

The faucet comes pre-fitted with check valves for both high and low pressure. No additional check valves are required unless local regulations demand otherwise.

How should I seal the faucet to prevent water damage?

After installation, seal the open surfaces around the faucet with silicone (not included) to prevent water from penetrating the worktop in case of leaks.

What is the first step after installing the faucet?

Before using the faucet, unscrew the aerator/flow guide with a coin and run water for a few minutes to flush out any debris. Then reattach the aerator, but do not overtighten.

How often should I inspect the faucet for leaks?

Check at regular intervals to make sure the installation is not leaking. This helps prevent water damage and ensures long-lasting performance.

What are the UK water regulations for this faucet?

Inlet supply hoses must be installed where light is excluded. Water supplies should be at reasonably balanced pressures from a common source. If supplies are unbalanced, fit an approved single check valve upstream of both inlets.

Can the faucet be installed on a 2-hole sink?

The INSJÖN is designed for a single hole with a diameter of 34-37 mm. It is not suitable for 2-hole installations without modification.

What is the maximum installation height above the sink?

The maximum installation height is 55 mm (2 3/16 inches) from the base of the faucet to the worktop surface.
