Installation
Basin Mixer / 1 Hole Bath Filler
1. Screw the flexi tails into the bottom of
the mixer body / bath filler by hand only
(DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN).
2. Feed the flexi tails through the hole in
the basin/bath, ensuring the washer is
fitted between the body and the basin/
bath to create a water tight seal.
3. Screw the fixing rod into the bottom
of the tap. Slide the 'C' shaped rubber
washer and 'C' shaped metal washer onto
the fixing rod up to the underside of the
basin/ bath.
4. To secure the mixer/bath filler in place
tighten the fixing nut onto the fixing rod
until it is fully tightened against the 'C'
shaped metal washer. The fixing nut can
be tightened with a suitable spanner.
5. Connect the flexi tails to the hot and
cold water supplies.
6. Turn on both water supplies, fully open
both valves, letting the water run for a few
minutes to flush out the system.
7. Fit the clicker waste (basin mixer only)
ensuring the rubber washer is fitted
between the basin and the waste. Place
the other rubber washer under the basin
and secure by tightening the backnut, in
order to fill the basin, the button in the
middle of the waste needs to be pressed
down. To release the water, press the but-
ton again.
8. Check all joints and connections for any
leaks.
