fully tighten the screws at this stage,
as the fixing holes are elongated to allow for
out of square adjustment after the plumbing
connections have been completed.
• Connect the mains water supply to the inlet

use excessive force when making
the connection.
• Make sure the backplate is square on the
wall and tighten the retaining screws which

• Turn on the mains water supply and check
for leaks in the pipework connection to the

A suitable sealant should always
be used to seal around the incoming pipework to
prevent water entering the wall.
