Preparation
First shut off your water heating system then, with your
mains stop cock closed, open the lowest hot and cold taps
in the house and allow to run until the cold storage tank
and pipes are empty. (The hot water storage cylinder
always remains full).
Installation
First screw the threaded stud into the mixer body. Screw
the copper tails into the mixer body and fully hand tighten.
After making any necessary alterations to existing
pipework, fit in position.
When the tap is in position (with the cold side on the right
when viewed from the front) slide the nylon bracing plate
up to the underside of the sink together with the retaining
plate, and secure by screwing the fixing nut finger tight.
Check that the mixer body and plinth are correctly
positioned and fully tighten fixing nut.
It is recommended that 15mm x 15mm compression
fittings be used to connect mixer to supply pipes. Cold is
connected to the right and hot on the left when viewed
from the front.
Attention
Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you
thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to
remove any remaining swarf, solder or other impurities.
Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause
problems or damage to the workings of the mixer.
Having first checked all new connections, turn on the
mains stop cock, close all taps except the new mixer and
as the system starts to refill check for leaks.
Once you have satisfied yourself that there are no leaks,
switch on the water heating.
