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.
Screw the studded rod (E) into the base of the tap (A).
2.
Screw the Flexible tail pipes (C&D) into the base of the tap, note the diagram shows the tail pipe inlets
positions on the underside of the tap.
3.
Pass the upper seal (B) over the studded rod (E) and tail pipes (C&D) and locate it centrally on the base
of the mixertap (A).
4.
Place the mixertap (A) onto the sink or worktop and pass the tail pipes (C&D) and studded rod (E)
through the taphole. With the tap in place check that the tails (C&D) meet the hot and cold water feeds. If
further adjustment to the plumbing is required do this now.
5.
If fitting the tap to a stainless steel sink the white triangular stabilizer (F) can be placed where shown to
help to stabilize the weight of the tap.
6.
Pass the rubber washer (G) and then metal horseshoe (H) over the studded rod (E) and around tail pipes
(C&D).
7.
Fasten the fixing nut (I) securely onto the fixing stud (E) fixing the tap into its correct location.
8.
Connect the Flexible tail pipes (C&D) to the water supplies using a ½” BSP x 15mm compression fittings
or similar.
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.
