Installation Preparation:
All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage prior to installation.
You should check you have the required hot and cold supply pressure also.
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 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.
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) may remain full.
This mixertap requires a 3 x 35∅mm tap holes, the tap centre spacing is 100-260mm. 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.
If placing the tap or spray through a worktop for example the taphole should be sealed in accordance with
the worktop manufactures instructions, you should pay particular care that the seal between the worktop and
the tap is correctly seated.
Installation:
1. Before installation it is advisable to check the alignment of valve (Q) so that it is positioned in the off position.
2. Create hole in worktop, diameter between 34 – 40mm.
3. Unscrew and remove (K, L, M, N & O).
4. Pass the top of the valve body (Q) through the tap hole from the underside, ensure that the lower seal (R) and
fixing nut (S) are on the underside of the worktop as shown.
5. Whilst holding valve body (Q) push base plinth (O) and upper seal (P) over top of valve body as shown.
6. Screw lower decorative cover (N) loosely onto the top of valve body (Q) making sure base plinth (O) and upper
seal (P) are flush with the top surface of the worktop.
7. Whilst adjusting lower decorative (N) by screwing until sufficient thread is available, screw upper decorative cover
(M) onto top of valve body (Q).
8. With the valve body (Q) centrally positioned to the tap hole, and whilst holding valve body (Q) using rubber or a
soft cloth tighten fixing nut (S) fully using an adjustable basin spanner or similar.
9. Align the handle (L) to the valve (Q) in the off position, then tighten handle (L) into place using grub screw (K) using
a 2mm allen key, then push rubber dust cap (J) into handle (L) as shown.
10. Screw fixing stud (F) onto underside of spout body (A).
11. Connect flexi tails (D & E) to underside spout body (A).

16. Connect the NRV’s (U) to the water mains using ½” BSPx15mm compression fittings. Note Non-return valves are
factory fitted internally into inlet legs (U).
After Installation:
Once you have visually checked the installation of the new tap and all connections, ensure that all other fittings are closed
except the new tap which should be left open. Turn on your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is
open. Reconnect both the hot and cold water supplies to this fitting. Check the function of flow and function of hot, cold
and mixed water.
Turn off the tap and check carefully for any leaks around all connections on the fitting and adjoining plumbing. If possible
return to the installation after a longer period to double check for slower leaks. If pressure testing equipment is available
check the installation to the maximum recommended pressure.
Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then place a bag over the product to protect
the tap until it is ready for use. The installation should be periodically checked for damage, if the property is left unattended
for a prolonged period we recommend isolating water supplies.

using a clean, soft damp cloth. A solution of warm water and a mild liquid detergent
