Vectus PTMT Silk Series Taps is a faucet from Vectus. With the belief in constant Innovation and to keep up with the changing society Vectus has entered into the Bath Accessories Range , we are offering a wide and comprehensive range of PTMT Taps silk series that suit all needs. These products are developed with worldwide quality standards utilizing the highest quality standards inputs and innovative technology. PTMT plastic taps are made from Polytetra Methylene Terephthalate (PTMT). The material was launched in India in the last decade, and since then, it has grown into the most preferred material for plastic taps and sanitary materials. The major benefit of PTMT is that it combines the advantages of both plastics and metals. It is considered an engineered plastic; thus, it offers a lot of benefits in terms of durability and function of the material. PTMT provides the products with a glossy finish; thus, apart from being durable, it also gives the product a superior finish. The material can be easily cleaned using detergents or soaps. The material resists environmental stress, and thus, PTMT plastic taps and PTMT fittings do not develop cracks, and the hardness of the material resists scratches. The material is anti-static as well, which prevents the deposition of dust particles on it. These PTMT plastic tap - silk series also have a lower resale value that prevents the theft of the material for remoulding. Thus, these plastic taps are ideal for installation in public places. Vectus is the best PTMT taps manufacturer that provides excellent designs and variable options in the section of plastic bibcock. Bib Cocks are a class of faucets that are usually installed in a sink-like arrangement, and with further improvement in designs, they are currently being used in washroom and shower fittings.

How to use it
- Match the faucet to the basin or sink: a pillar tap or basin mixer sits on a basin with a tap hole, while a wall-mounted tap needs a supply point in the wall.
- A mixer needs both hot and cold supply lines; a pillar cock or bib cock works on one.
- Check the spout height and reach against the basin, so the water lands in the bowl without splashing.
Installation
- Shut the supply and flush the pipes before fitting, so debris does not block the aerator or the cartridge.
- Seal threaded joints with PTFE tape and tighten by hand, then a final turn with a spanner; overtightening cracks fittings.
- A concealed (in-wall) mixer needs its concealed body fixed in the wall before the wall is tiled.
- Fit the faucet with the connectors and hoses the maker specifies.
Care and maintenance
- Clean chrome and coloured finishes with mild soap and a soft cloth. Abrasive powders and acid cleaners strip the plating.
- Unscrew and rinse the aerator now and then; hard water leaves scale that weakens the flow.
- A dripping faucet usually needs a new cartridge or washer, not a new faucet.
Buying tips
- Ceramic-disc cartridges outlast rubber-washer spindles and turn more smoothly.
- Coloured and PVD finishes cost more than chrome and need gentler cleaning.
- Homes fed by an overhead tank have low water pressure; check the maker’s minimum working pressure where it is stated.

Frequently asked questions

Most faucets work on overhead-tank pressure, but flow is gentler. Where the maker states a minimum working pressure, compare it with your supply.
Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth, then wipe dry. Avoid acid cleaners, bleach and scouring powder.
