WARNING: 

ENSURE YOU HAVE FUL-

LY READ THE INSTALLATION MANUAL 

BEFORE COMMENCING

STEP 1

The Touch Tap requires a 1-37/64” (40mm) 

hole cut into the counter’s surface behind the 

sink. We typically set back approximately 2” 

(50.8mm) from the back edge to the sink.

The QT553 must be located close to this cable 

without causing it to stretch.

Once the faucet is in position, you are now

ready to connect the tap to the QT553.

1. Remove the end cap prior to installing the sil-

icon, hold grey teeth into the fitting, then lift fit-

ting.

2. Connect two lengths of the platinum cured 

silicone tube from the fitting kit to the tap stems 

on the underside of the INSTALLATION of the 

tap.

Fix in place using the spring-loaded clamps

included in the fitting kit. Avoiding kinks, make

a clean run to the top of the QT553. Fix the

other ends to the manifold outlet stems pro-

truding from the top of the QT553 as follows:

3. The rear manifolds stems are the mains hot 

and cold water. This connects to the left-hand 

stem of the tap as you look at it inside the cup-

board.

4. The front manifold stem is the boiling, chilled 

and sparkling water. The front manifold is con-

nected to the right-hand stem as you look at it.

Depending upon the surface, you may need

special cutting equipment. Always check with

the work surface manufacturer and ask what 

type of cutting tool can be used.

Decide where the tap is going to sit. Note that 

the control panel is on the right-hand side of 

the tap. Ensure that the location you choose 

is suitable and that you can reach the controls 

without needing to stretch.

Place the tap carefully into the holes, ensuring 

that the comms cable is dropped into the hole 

first to prevent damage.

Using the washer and fixing bracket provided, 

you can now fix the tap in place underneath 

the work surface.

Take care to locate 

the comms cable into 

the groove behind the 

tap base, then slide 

the washer up over 

the base followed by 

the fixing bracket.

This will screw onto 

the thread on the tap 

base.

Ensure that the comms cable is situated cor-

rectly as you spin the bracket clockwise until it 

is almost at the top of the thread.

At each side of the fixing bracket, you will see 

the threaded hole. Using the two bolts

provided, thread up 

into these holes until 

tight against the washer 

above. With a flat head 

screwdriver, tighten each 

one gently.

Now position the tap so that the control panel 

faces forward towards the user position

(180 degrees to the 

sink). Now you can 

tighten the nuts until 

you have a firm fus-

ing on both sides. 

The comms cable 

hangs down and

will connect into the 

QT553 unit when it

is installed.
