Have I bought right taps?

[badbob]

The plumber has pointed out that with combi's you have to buy right types designed for high pressure, otherwise you get drips. We have a combi.

The taps I've bought are

Ideal Standard Ceramix Alto Bath Filler Tap (E5412) - Ideal Standard available at Plumbworld

Ideal Standard Ceramix Alto Mono Basin Mixer Tap with Pop up Waste (A5410) - Ideal Standard available at Plumbworld

Ceraplan Basin Taps

As long as your Pressure doesn't exceed the threshold of the tap you should be fine

How would I find out if the water pressure is too high? The gauge on front of the boiler is hanging around 1.

Hi badbob,
Just fit a pressure reducing valve sfter the stop tap, that will keep the pressure round about 3 bar on all your outlets. You should have one anyway with a combi.

Plenty of combis running fine without presure reducing valves .

You don't need to worry about choice of taps, you only need to worry when you have gravity hot water and then you need low presure taps.

Combi's are mains hot & cold so any taps will be fine.

Every combi I've come across recommend a pressure reducing valve, its in the installation Manuel. Pressure can get up to 10 bar overnight in some areas. £20 and ten minutes work, easiest solution.
