Installation Cont.
Wall Outlet
There are two methods of fixing the
wall outlet depending on the type of
wall.
A. With rear access once wall is
finished:
Remove the brass backnut from the
threaded tail, and insert the wall outlet
through a 25-30mm hole in the wall
and secure with backnut.
TIP: Use a thin line of silicone
based sealant around the back
edge of the concealing plate to
create a tight water seal.
Connect the wall outlet assembly to
the shower valve outlet (connection
not supplied).
B. Without rear access once wall is
finished:
Fit a ‘wall plate elbow’ (not supplied)
within the wall cavity and plumb
in from the shower valve. Screw
the threaded connecting tube (3)
into the ‘wall plate elbow’ using a
suitable thread sealant. The threaded
connecting tube thread (3) must
protrude from the finished wall by
5-15mm. Once the wall has been
finished the wall outlet (4) and washer
(2) can be fitted to the threaded
connecting tube, using a suitable
thread sealant.
NOTE: The backnut (1) is not required

Maintenance
General Cleaning
Your fitting has a high quality finish and
should be treated with care to preserve
the visible surfaces. All finishes will wear
if not cleaned correctly. The only safe
way to clean your product is to wipe
with a soft damp cloth. Stains can be
removed using washing up liquid. All
bathroom cleaning products (powders
and liquids) will damage the surface
of your fitting, even the non-scratch
cleaners.
Note: Never use abrasive detergents
or disinfectants or those containing
alcohol, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric
acid.
Cleaning the Showerhead: CLR
WMBSM C
Your Bristan showerhead has rub-clean
nozzles for easy cleaning. Simply rub
your fingers across the rubber spray
jets regularly and before you turn the
shower on to remove any scale or
debris.
The hardness of the water in your area
will determine how often you should
clean your showerhead. Build up of
scale in particularly hard water areas
combined with constant use means you
may need to clean your showerhead
once a week. To ensure continued
performance the showerhead needs to
be regularly descaled.
Tip: If the showerhead is heavily scaled
or has not be maintained for a long
period of time a solution of hot water
and white vinegar may be needed to
clear the scale.
Mix a 50/50 solution and rub the
nozzles thoroughly with the solution
making sure the solution gets into all of
the nozzles.
Wash o the solution with clean water.

supplies to the tap by either:
• Turning the water supplyo at the
mains stopcock or
• Turning o the isolation valves to
the tap.
1. Remove the grub screw, located
at the rear of the handle using a
hexagonal key.
2. Remove the handle by pulling
upwards from the spacer; proceed
to remove spacer and shroud.
3. Using a suitable spanner remove
retaining nut to gain access to the
cartridge.

thoroughly. Be sure to check and
clean out the seating within the tap
body.

No flow or poor flow
rate.
Partially closed stop or service
valve in water supply pipework to
the tap.
Open stop or service valve.
Head of water is below the
minimum distance required.
Refer to the specification
section for minimum pressures
required.
Possible airlock/ blockage in

the fitting and flush the system
to remove any airlocks/debris
Cartridge not opening fully. Service fitting. Refer to
maintenance section.
Water dripping for a few
seconds after the tap
has turned o.
This is caused by ‘capillary action’
and residual water in the spout
being siphoned out. This should
only last for a couple seconds
Constant dripping for a
few seconds after the
tap has been turned o.
Cartridge/ Valve not fully
shutting o.
