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, if replacing an e isting 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 e isting 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.
