PREPARATION AND BYELAW REQUIREMENTS
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).
Water byelaws require that where the hot water is supplied from a tank and cold from the mains,
non return valves are fitted on both hot and cold copper pipes as close as possible to the tap. Where
combination boilers or high pressure cylinders are fitted it is only necessary to turn off the boiler and
shut off the incoming mains and turn the boiler off and non return valves are not required.
INSTALLATION
First screw the two flexible hoses to the copper pipes protruding from the mixer body. Do not over-tighten.
Pass the rubber washer over the flexible hoses and copper pipes and insert in groove in base of tap
body. Pass the flexible hoses and copper pipes and fixing stud through the sink top from above, and
place the mixer in position on the sink making sure the O-ring is in place to make a seal.
Working under the sink, slide the shaped gasket, the C-shaped metal washer and secure with the brass
fixing nut finger tight.
Check that the mixer body is correctly positioned on the sink and tighten fixing nut so the tap is secure.
Do not overtighten as damage may be caused to the sink.
Now connect the flexible hoses to incoming pipework. Note hot water should be connected to the left inlet
when the tap is viewed from the front.
The tap is operated by rotating the lever up to turn the water on, rotate left for hot water and right for cold.
ATTENTION
Before installing the mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to
remove any remaining swarf, solder or other impurities.This should be repeated with the aerator nozzle
removed after installation to clear any debris from the tap.
Failure to carry out this simple procedure will possibly cause problems or damage to the workings of the
mixer resulting in leaking within a short period of time after installation..
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.
WARNING
These hints have been prepared for your guidance, you must exercise due care all the times.
We do not accept responsibility for any problems that may occur through incorrect installation.
We recommend that in all instances a qualified professional installer is used to fit and commission the
tap.
