Installation Instructions:
Preparation
Before installing the new product 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 product or reduce performance invalidating the
warranty.
We strongly recommend best practice of 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 (isolate) your hot and cold water supply locally at the point of installation before continuing with the installation. If the water cannot be isolated locally the
turn off the mains stopcock and power to any heating system, now open the lowest tap or drain point in the system until both hot and cold supplies are fully drained.
This product requires a 35mm
tap hole and a
maximum surface thickness of 40mm
, if replacing an existing product, remove it and clean the end of the hot and
cold feed pipes using wire wool, the tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant.
If the handles on the product operate backwards and forwards, allow for this when planning the sink or tap hole position.
Loosely position the product and fittings to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is required, if needed, do this now.
If the product is single flow (see section important technical data “flow characteristics”) then non return (check) valves must be installed to comply with regulations.
Some products are supplied with non-return valves this will be noted in the instructions.
This tap can be used in conjunction with a water softening system and will remove the need for a separate drinking water tap. In this instance 3-way valve (O)
must cut into the unsoftened cold mains supply.
