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 2 x 35
∅
mm tap holes, the centre spacing is 153-253mm, the nominal centre
spacing is 203mm. 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.
Place the 3/4” washers (C) inside the 3/4” fixing nuts (B).
2.
Loosely screw the offset inlet legs (F) into the ¾”fixing nuts (B)(hand tight only). Now turn the inlet
legs (F) to suit the tap hole spacing.
3.
Screw the base plinths (D) onto the inlet legs (F), now pass the upper rubber washers (E) onto the
inlet legs (F) flush to the base plinths (D).
4.
Pass the inlet legs (F) through the tap holes. Now pass the lower rubber washer (G), metal washers
(H) then fixing nuts (I) onto the inlet legs (F).
5.
Whilst holding the tap (A) and legs (F) in place on the tap hole, tighten the fixing nuts (I).
6.
Wrap a clean cloth around the ¾” fixing nuts (B), whilst holding the inlet legs (F) place a
adjustable spanner around the cloth and the fixing nuts (B). Tighten the fixing nuts (B) taking care
not to mark them.
7.
Connect the hot and cold inlet legs (F) to the water mains using ½” BSPx15mm compression
fittings. Note: Non-return valves are factory fitted internally into inlet legs (F).
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.
