Installation Instructions:
Preparation
Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to remove any
remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause problems or
damage to the workings of the mixertap.
We strongly recommend installing particle filters and isolation valves to both the hot and cold feed pipes in an accessible
position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any future maintenance.
All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage prior to installation.
Shut off your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is closed. Open the lowest hot and cold taps in the
house and allow the water to run until the cold-water storage tank and pipes are fully empty. Please note, the hot water
storage cylinder (if applicable) will always remain full.
This mixertap requires a
35mm tap hole, if replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the end of the feed pipes using
wire wool the tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant.
Loosely position the tap and tail pipes to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is required, if this is the case do this
now.
Installation
1.
Place upper seal (C) under the base plinth (B).
2.
Place base plinth (B) and upper seal (C) at the bottom of the mixer body (A).
3.
Screw fixing stud (F) onto the bottom of mixer body (A). (see Fig.1)
4.
Screw the hot tail pipe (D) onto the top of mixer body (A), then the cold tail pipe (N) on the bottom hole. When the
tap is facing forwards. (see Fig.1)
5.
Screw the hot & cold water tail pipes (D & N) into the base of the tap (A) as shown.
6.
Place the mixer tap (A), with base plinth (B), upper seal (C) and fixing stud (D) onto the sink/worktop, passing the
tail pipes (D&N), and the pull out horse (M) through the tap hole.
7.
Pass the rubber horseshoe (H) and the metal horseshoe (I) over the fixing stud (F) around the flexible tail pipes
(D & N) and the pull out horse (M). If fitting the tap to a stainless steel sink, the white triangular stabiliser (G) can
be placed where shown to help stabilise the weight of the tap.
8.
Fasten fixing nut (J) securely onto the fixing stud (F) to fix the tap (A) into its correct location.
9.
Screw the mixer water outlet nut (K) onto the fixing stud (F).
10.
Screw the pull out pipe horse (M) onto the mixer water outlet nut (K) ensuring the rubber seal (L) is In place.
11.
Fix the horse weight (O) with screws (P) as shown.
12.
Connect the hot and cold tail pipes (D & N) to the water mains using ½” BSPx15mm compression fittings. Note:
Non-return valves will be pre-inserted into tail pipes (I & J).
After installation
Once you have visually checked the new fittings and connections, ensure that all taps are closed except the new mixer tap
which should be left open. Turn on the water supply at the mains stop cock. As the system starts to refill, check carefully for
leaks. Once you are fully satisfied that there are no leaks, turn on the water heating.
Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then place the cloth bag that has been provided to
protect the tap until it is ready for use.
