See text of entry for Installation
Requirements or Notes.
IRN R005 – BTZ BF C, BTZ BSM C
This tap or combination tap assembly has a
Type AUK2 air gap and is therefore only
suitable for installation in domestic premises
or in other premises to protect against a
backflow risk up to a Fluid Category 3, unless
additional backflow protection for the higher
risk is included in the installation.
IRN R006 – BTZ ½ C, BTZ ¾ C, BTZ BAS C
This tap or combination tap is installed so
that its base is no lower than the spillover
level of the receiving vessel (for example, a
sink or washbasin), a Type AUK3 air gap is
achieved which permits installation of the tap
in any premises where backflow protection up
to Fluid Category 5 is required at the tap.
IRN R010 – BTZ BAS C, BTZ BF C -
Schedule 2-15 (1)
Water supplies shall be a reasonably
balanced pressures from a common source
(e.g. hot and cold supplies both from the
same storage or both from a supply pipe).
Where the fitting is supplied from unbalanced
supplies (e.g. hot and cold supplies from
separate sources) a ‘Listed’ single check
valve or some other no less effective backflow
prevention device shall be fitted immediately
upstream of both hot and cold water inlets.
IRN R030 – BTZ BSM C - Schedule 2-15
(1) Multiple inlet fittings installed in
domestic premises or in other premises to
protect against a backflow risk up to a Fluid
Category 3, incorporating a self cancelling
diverter acceptable as a backflow prevention
device (HC) and having an AUK2 or AUK3 air
gap, shall be installed in accordance with
IRN R010.
Multiple inlet fittings installed in premises
other than domestic to protect against a
backflow risk up to a Fluid Category 5,
incorporating a self cancelling diverter
acceptable as a backflow prevention device
(HC only) and having an AUK2 or AUK3 air
gap, shall be installed in accordance with
IRN R010. Alternatively the fitting shall be
supplied in accordance with IRN R040 unless
the shower head is constrained above the
spill-over lever of the bath, wash basin or
shower tray.

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.
Bristan recommend E-
cloth for cleaning all of
our bathroom & kitchen
products. Using just
water, E-cloth gives a
smear free, deep clean by breaking up
and holding dirt, which normal cloths
leave behind. Order through your Bristan
stockist (order code: ECLOTH).
Cleaning the Showerhead – BTZ BSM 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.
Maintenance
See map of Hard Water Regions in the UK on
page 16 to see the water type in your area.
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 off the solution with clean water.
14

Maintenance cont.

serviced in hard water areas to maintain
optimum performance (see map of Hard
Water Regions in the UK on page 17.
