Installation Preparation:
All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage prior to
installation. You should check you have the required hot and cold supply pressure also.
Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in
order to remove any remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this
simple procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of the mixertap.
We recommend installing particle filters and isolation valves to both the hot and cold feed pipes in
an accessible position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any future
maintenance.
Shut off your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is closed. Open the lowest
hot and cold taps in the house and allow the water to run until the cold-water storage tank and
pipes are fully empty. Please note, the hot water storage cylinder (if applicable) may remain full.
This mixertap requires a 35mm
∅
tap hole, if replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the
end of the feed pipes using wire wool the tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant.
Loosely position the tap and tail pipes to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is required, if
this is the case do this now.
If placing the tap through a worktop for example the taphole should be sealed in accordance with
the worktop manufactures instructions, your should pay particular care that the seal between the
worktop and the tap is correctly seated.
Installation:
1.
Pass the base plinth (C), then upper seal (D) over the threaded fixing column(B). Pass the
threaded fixing column through the tap hole.
2.
Whilst holding the tap in place on the tap hole, pass the lower rubber washer (F), metal washer
(G) then fixing nut (H) over the flexible tail pipes (I) onto the threaded fixing column(B).
Nb. you may need to pass the flexible tail pipes through the above parts one at a time by gently
bending the pipes. The Triangular stabilising bracket (E) is only required when fitting the tap to a
stainless steel sink.
3.
Whilst holding the tap centrally to the tap hole and the logo on the base plinth facing forward
tighten the fixing nut (H).
4.
Connect the hot and cold tail flexible pipes (I) to the water mains using ½” BSPx15mm
compression fittings. Note: Non-return valves are factory fitted into tail pipes (I).
After Installation:
Once you have visually checked the installation of the new tap and all
connections, ensure that all other fittings are closed except the new tap which
should be left open. Turn on your water heating system and ensure that your mains
stopcock is open. Reconnect both the hot and cold water supplies to this fitting.
Check the function of flow and function of hot, cold and mixed water.
Turn off the tap and check carefully for any leaks around all connections on the
fitting and adjoining plumbing. If possible return to the installation after a longer
period to double check for slower leaks. If pressure testing equipment is available
check the installation to the maximum recommended pressure.
Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then
place a bag over the product to protect the tap until it is ready for use. The
installation should be periodically checked for damage, if the property is left
unattended for a prolonged period we recommend isolating water supplies.
