Brass or Gold Colour Finishes

Antique Brass (Gold)▲
Order Code for this Finish: AB / Standard Metal Finish in Domestic Tapware Ranges / Non Tarnishing Finish Antique Brass (Gold) is a finish electroplated on to brass (like chrome) which has the appearance of freshly polished brass. It does not look oxidised or tarnished in any way – it looks brand new. The plated surface is made up of nickel, chromium and other inert metals in a carefully balanced formula, and includes gold. Being chemically inert, it does not tarnish (this is, discolour in the presence of air and moisture). View Example Photos of this Metal Finish / This link will open in a new window.

Polished Brass▲
Order Code for this Finish: PB / Bespoke Metal Finish / Maturing Finish Brass is the basic material of our tapware, and in the course of manufacture the exterior parts are polished to a high lustre – hence Polished Brass. Polished Brass quickly and easily reacts to air and moisture and this creates tarnishing, this can be left for a desired aging effect or can be removed by regular repolishing by the end user. For brass polished to a low lustre see our Polish to Plate finish. View Example Photos of this Metal Finish / This link will open in a new window.

Raw Brass▲
Order Code for this Finish: RB / Bespoke Metal Finish / Maturing Finish This is essentially the original brass as it is manufactured. It will show weld marks and as different forms of brass are being used, the colour will differ throughout. This finish will provide a very rough look. Please view the example photos for reference. A cleaner version of this finish is Polish to Plate. This finish is popular with heritage restorations and outdoor showers. Please check further photo examples to see some of these colour variations. With this finish we highly recommend selecting engraved button upgrades for Roulette Lever Flick Mixers, Roulette Lever Wall Mixers, DB Mixers, and for Diverter Indicator Buttons. View Example Photos of this Metal Finish / This link will open in a new window.

Polish to Plate▲
Order Code for this Finish: PP / Bespoke Metal Finish / Maturing Finish This finish is the same as Raw Brass except that the brass has been slightly polished ready for a plating process therefore a consistent rough colour is achieved. It is a cleaner finish than Raw Brass but still provides a rough look. This finish is popular with heritage restorations and outdoor showers. For brass polished to a high lustre see our Polished Brass finish. For the closest non-tarnishing finish to Polish to Plate, please refer to our Dull Antique Brass finish. View Example Photos of this Metal Finish / This link will open in a new window.

Lea Wheeled Brass▲
Order Code for this Finish: LW / Bespoke Metal Finish / Maturing Finish This is a new finish we are exited to be offering as of February 2018. We are currently rolling it out over our website's product catalogue. This finish is the similar to Polish to Plate (PP) except that the brass undergoes a different polishing method which leaves a less reflective surface courtesy of the soft brush marks on the brass. This finish achieves a consistent rough colour and has a beautiful texture. It is a cleaner finish than Raw Brass (RB) but provides a slightly less reflective initial look when compared to Polish to Plate. This finish is suitable for heritage restorations with a contemporary twist, along with contemporary spaces where the brassware is intended to be a feature. It is also a suitable finish for use outdoors. View Example Photos of this Metal Finish / This link will open in a new window.

Dull Antique Brass▲
Order Code for this Finish: DAB / Bespoke Metal Finish / Non Tarnishing Finish This is a new finish we are exited to be offering as of February 2018. We are currently rolling it out over our website's product catalogue. Dull Antique Brass is a finish electroplated on to brass (like chrome) which gives a rougher, lower lustre look than our normal Antique Brass (AB) finish. The plated surface is made up of nickel, chromium and other inert metals in a carefully balanced formula, and includes gold. Being chemically inert, it does not tarnish (this is, discolour in the presence of air and moisture). This non-tarnishing finish provides the most similar look to our Polish to Plate (PP) finish. View Example Photos of this Metal Finish / This link will open in a new window.

24 Carat Gold Plate▲
Order Code for this Finish: GD / Bespoke Metal Finish / Non Tarnishing Finish Please note that due to the nature of this finish and its high value, pricing shown on the website must be confirmed at time of order. For the most opulent of bathrooms. 24 Carat Gold is a finish electroplated on to brass (like our Antique Brass finish above). Gold is a softer metal so this finish is not as hard wearing as Antique Brass although it is a more rose gold coloured finish. Being chemically inert it does not tarnish (this is, discolour in the presence of air and moisture). View Example Photos of this Metal Finish / This link will open in a new window.

Brushed Antique Brass▲
Order Code for this Finish: BAB / Bespoke Metal Finish / Non Tarnishing Finish Brushed Antique Brass (Gold) is a finish electroplated on to brass (like Chrome) which has the appearance of fresh brass but with an effect like Brushed Satin. It does not look oxidised or tarnished in any way – it looks brand new. The plated surface is made up of nickel, chromium and other inert metals in a carefully balanced formula, and includes gold. Being chemically inert, it does not tarnish (this is, discolour in the presence of air and moisture). View Example Photos of this Metal Finish / This link will open in a new window.

Satin Antique Brass▲
Order Code for this Finish: SAB / Bespoke Metal Finish / Non Tarnishing Finish Satin Antique Brass (Gold) is a finish electroplated on to brass (like Chrome) which has the appearance of fresh brass but with a Satin that gives the brass darker hues as light reflects off of the metal. It does not look oxidised or tarnished in any way – it looks brand new. The plated surface is made up of nickel, chromium and other inert metals in a carefully balanced formula, and includes gold. Being chemically inert, it does not tarnish (this is, discolour in the presence of air and moisture). Due to the artistic nature of this finish there can be minor variations in this finish from batch to batch. Therefore we recommend any tapware and accessories planned for close proximity be ordered at the same time. View Example Photos of this Metal Finish / This link will open in a new window.

Gold with Chrome Trim▲
Order Code for this Finish: AC / Bespoke Metal Finish / Non Tarnishing Finish aka Antique Brass with Chrome Trim or Antique Brass with Chrome Highlights This is a mix of our Antique Brass (Gold) and Chrome electroplated finishes where Antique Brass is the dominant colour in the combination. Being chemically inert it does not tarnish (this is, discolour in the presence of air and moisture). View Example Photos of this Metal Finish / This link will open in a new window.

Rapid Action FAQ

Rapid Action (in Summary)

Rapid Action performs the same turning action as ceramic disc but the maintenance is cheaper and easier.

Rapid Action tapware:

- opens and closes in quarter to half a turn.

- is standard with all Roulette Lever (excluding Roulette Lever Flick Mixers), Torrens Ranges, Celestial Lever, and CB Ideal Seaview Series tapware.

- is available with all other ranges on request (excluding Roulette Lever & DB Flick Mixers) .

- is suitable for low-pressure hot water supply, tank or bore with pressure pump.

Why did we develop it?

For ease of maintenance.

It uses a hydroseal valve. A handyman or handywoman can change the valve in the same manner as a normal jumper valve, and it is available from hardware shops. The ceramic disc system needs a plumber and the appropriate kit for the model tap.

Rapid Action (in Detail)

Standard CB Spindle		CB Rapid Action Spindle

Question:	What is Rapid Action?
Answer:	This term describes the mechanism which enables the tap to be fully opened or closed in less than half a turn. In conventional tapware the handle (A) turns the spindle (B) 3 to 4 full rotations up or down the thread inside the bonnet (C) and this raises or lowers the valve (D) which either lets water through the seat of the tap or shuts it off. In ceramic disc tapware the valve is replaced by ceramic discs which slide over each other (think of the twist-caps on salt and spice dispensers). When the tap is closed the ceramic discs completely cover the tap seat; when the tap is opened the discs slide to cover each other and so leave an opening which allows water to flow. In ‘Rapid Action’ tapware the handle (A1) turns the spindle (B1) up or down the specialized and very accurately machined thread inside the bonnet (C1), which enables the spindle to rise to the full open position in less than half a turn of the handle. The valve (D1), which therefore either completely opens or closes the tap seat, is of a specialized type, and very accurately manufactured, which provides a perfect seal when the tap handle is closed (without the need for extra-hard turning of the handle which often happens with conventional tapware). ‘Rapid Action’ tapware demonstrates high quality and accuracy of manufacture, and the design also allows for ease of maintenance. The ‘Hydroseal’ valves (available at all good hardware stores) can be changed as easily and quickly as in a conventional tap. Because there are a number of different ceramic disc systems on the market (all imported) it can be quite difficult to find and then fit the exact replacement part when the need arises.

Question:	Do ‘Rapid Action’ taps turn on and off the same way as ordinary taps?
Answer:	If they look like ordinary taps, they turn like ordinary taps too – both hot and cold turn on anticlockwise and off clockwise. With lever tapware (Celestial Lever, Torrens Lever, Torrens Flared Lever and Roulette Lever) the hot tap turns in the opposite direction to the cold. Reference diagrams of which way the lever tapware will turn can be found here: Rapid Action Turning Directions

Question:	Does ‘Rapid Action’ Tapware turn through a quarter turn or a half turn?
Answer:	More than a quarter turn (because a quarter turn gives no graduation – the water is either off or on) and less than a half turn (because this would make the longer levers very uncomfortable to use).

Question:	Is ‘Rapid Action’ Tapware suitable if there is low-pressure hot water supply, or if the supply is from a tank or bore by means of a pressure pump?
Answer:	Yes, because the design allows the full flow that is possible through the seat of the tap when the tap is fully open. Ceramic discs restrict the flow somewhat, even when the tap handle is in the fully open position. When the hot water supply is low pressure and the cold water is at high pressure, it may be more difficult to achieve a comfortable mixture because there is not enough graduation in less than half a turn to control the high pressure water – in such a situation a conventional standard action tap would probably be more successful.

	A note about Rapid Action for the Heritage Collection
	When upgrading Bib / Pillar Spindles on Heritage from Standard Action to Rapid Action, the look will change from the standard Heritage bell shape bonnet to then use the sheath cover from Roulette and Roulette Lever Series.

Warranty

As of the 12th of March 2015, we, CB Ideal Tapware Pty Ltd have upgraded our standard warranty from 12 months to 5 years per the terms outlined below. This warranty statement superceeds that shown in the 2014 Price Book and a copy is included with applicable products sold after this date.

Warranty Statement

We (the above-named Company) accept responsibility for any fault due to our own materials or workmanship except for subjective variations or random unavoidable blemishes of a minor non-functional nature. This acceptance of responsibility is for five years from date of installation, proof of which may be required. The product (concealed or exposed) will be repaired or replaced at no cost, provided that in-wall fittings are fully tested and have also been manufactured by the Company.

This warranty does not cover misuse of the product or damage incurred during installation. Our products are made to Australian Standards and are designed to be used to a maximum temperature of 65 degrees celsius and to a maximum pressure of 500Kp. The warranty is voided if the product is used above these limits. To make a claim the consumer should return to the seller of the product for advice, and to establish proof of purchase. The seller will then contact us, and our representative will contact the consumer to arrange whatever after-sales service is required. The consumer’s cost for making a warranty claim (e.g. freight) is discussed at the same time.
For after-sales service the consumer may also contact us direct at:-

CB Ideal Tapware Pty Ltd.
1a Deloraine Road, Edwardstown S.A. 5039
Ph: 08 8276 6766 Fax: 08 8276 6623 Email: sales@cbideal.com.au

This warranty is in addition to other rights and remedies under law:
“Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and this failure does not amount to a major failure.”

Installation and Maintenance – effect on warranty

The company provides installation instructions for certain products as a guide to the qualified tradesman/installer, but accepts no liability whatsoever for faulty installation.

The Company provides care instructions for various finishes; however because the actions of the user are outside the Company’s control it accepts no liability for deterioration of finishes outside the warranty period.

Please consider the following factors before the warranty is invoked.

•	Any work on the water pipes can cause grit or shavings to be inside the pipes. Usually pipes are flushed to remove debris, but if any remains it may lodge in the aerator or underneath the tap valve.
•	The aerator case has a fine thread. If the aerator has to be removed then great care should be taken to ensure that the thread is not crossed when the case is replaced.
•	Lever taps are set correctly in our factory, but may need to be reset if altered during installation. The leaflet included with each lever set explains this very simple operation which is really part of the installation process.
