General Information
This product has been tested to the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) and
satisfies the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and
current bylaws. For full Installation Requirements & Notes (IRN) please visit
www.wras.co.uk/directory.
Designed to comply with BS EN 200 for combination taps to be used within systems
designed to BS 6700.
BS 6700 recommends the temperature of stored water should never exceed 65°C.
A stored water temperature of 60°C is considered sufficient to meet all normal
requirements and will minimise the build up of lime scale in hard water areas.
If installing this product on a low pressure (tank fed) system please see specifications
table on page 5 to determine the minimum distance required from undeside of the cold
water tank to the outlet.
These taps and mixers should be installed in compliance with the Water Regulations.
Where the supplies are unbalanced, i.e. Hot water from cylinder tank / cold from the
mains, approved check valves must be fitted in the supply pipes.
For further details contact your Local Water Authority.

and should be treated with care to
preserve the visible surfaces. All
surfaces will wear if not cleaned
correctly, the only safe way to clean your
mixer is to wipe with a soft damp cloth.
Stains can be removed using washing
up liquid. All bath cleaning 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.
Before carrying out any maintenance,
turn off the both water supplies or close
any isolating valves.
Loosen the grub screw using a 2.5mm
hexagonal key. Remove the handle,
prise out the shroud cover and remove
the cartridge shroud. Remove the
cartridge.
Clean the cartridge thoroughly under
cold water to remove any build up of
limescale or debris.
If necessary replace the cartridge using
parts supplied by Bristan only.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Cause Remedy
No flow or low
flow rate
Partially closed isolation valve. Open isolation valve.
Instantaneous water heater
cycles on and off as flow rate or
pressure is too low.
Increase water flow rate or
pressure through system to
meet required minimum working
pressure of tap.
Head of water is below the
minimum distance required.
Refer to 'Specifications' on page
5.
Hot or cold water being drawn
off elsewhere causing pressure
changes or instantaneous boiler
temperature changes.
Do not use other water outlets
when using the taps.
Airlock or partial blockage in the
supply pipework.
Flush through pipework to
ensure removal of debris and
any airlocks.
Water dripping
from taps
This is normal for a short time
after using the taps.
This is caused by capilary action,
the build up of water in the tap
body.
If water continues to drip,
possible build up of debris /
limescale in the cartridge.
Remove and clean the cartridge,
refer to 'Maintenance' section
on page 15 before removing the
cartridge.
Taps do not
turn on
Closed isolation valve. Open isolation valve.
Water supplies to the tap turned
off.
Turn on both water supplies to
the tap.
