Installation
The Sola Safe Touch thermostatic basin tap is
designed for installing on one hole basins.
The SF1139CP tap is supplied with two 350mm long
copper tails.
Fit check valves with integral filter (16) to the two
copper tails and fit the isolation valves (17) to the
check valves using the sealing washers provided.
Ensure the check valves are connected correctly,
with the flow direction arrow pointing in the direction
of the water flow.
The isolating valves (17) have compression
connections to ease the connection to copper tube.
Screw the threaded rod (13) into the threaded hole
in the base of the body taking care not to over
tighten.
The cold supply must be connected to the right
hand side and the hot to the left hand side of the
mixer when viewed from the front.
Ensure that the ‘O’ ring seal (11) is located in the
base of the tap prior to fitting the mixer to the basin.
Once in place using the horse shoe retaining plate
(12) secure in position, taking care not to over
tighten the retaining nut (14).
For optimum mixing performance where the hot and
cold pressures are not equal, pressure regulating
valves should be installed directly upstream of the
tap so that the water supply pressures can be
regulated and equalised.
