General Specifications
Operating pressure range: Minimum 0.2 bar, Maximum 5.0 bar.
Maximum static pressure: 10.0 bar.
Note:
Nominally equal (balanced) inlet supply pressures are recommended for optimum
performance with mixer taps.
Designed to comply with BS EN 200 for single taps / combination taps and BS EN 817 for
single lever mixers, for water systems of type 1 and 2 general technical specifications
and to be used within systems designed to BS 6700.
BS 6700 recommends the temperature of stored water should never exceed 65°C.
A stored water temperature of 60°C is considered sufficient to meet all normal
requirements and will minimise the build up of lime scale in hard water areas.
If the fitting is installed at low pressure (tank fed), then the minimum distance from the
highest installed position of the outlet to the underside of the cold tank should be at
least 2 metres to ensure adequate performance.
These taps and mixers should be installed in compliance with the Water Regulations.
Where the supplies are unbalanced, i.e. Hot water from cylinder tank / cold from the
mains, approved check valves must be fitted in the supply pipes.
For further details contact your Local Water Authority.
Important:
To ensure the tap/mixer fittings are securely fastened to the basin/bath
we recommend the relevant torque setting (table shown below) is applied to the ‘Push-
fit connector’ when tightening to the back nuts.
