CONNECTING THE SUPPLY PIPES
Gently screw the swivel inlets into the body of the
valve unit and stop as soon as resistance is felt.
Then back off by up to 1.5 turns to align the inlet
with the hot and cold supply pipes. THE SWIVEL
INLETS MUST NOT BE TIGHTENED AGAINST THE
VALVE BODY TO MAKE A SEAL.
Connect the hot water supply to the inlet marked
RED, and connect the cold water supply to the
inlet with the BLUE mark.
Remember the swivel inlet has an ‘O’ ring seal and
that no other sealing means is required.
Tighten the compression fittings with the cranked
spanner, supplied for when access is restricted.
Ensure the on/off assembly is turned to the off
position by temporarily fitting the on/off control
and turning clockwise until resistance is felt.
Open the supplies and test for leaks in the
pipework upstream of the valve.
OUTLET ADAPTOR
The mixed water outlet adaptor needs to be
removed and replaced using PTFE tape to ensure a
water tight seal.
NOTE: The outlet adaptor is reversible with one
side suitable for connection to a flexible hose –
flat end (fig.18), and the other is a chamfered end
for a 15 mm compression fitting.
