Warning from your water Supplier
•It could be a criminal offence to use this tap with a mains water supply drawn
directly from the supply pipe.
•(The supply pipe is the one which brings the water supply into your home and is directly
connected to the public water main).
•This tap has an outlet on a flexible hose which, if immersed in water, could result in
contaminated water being drawn back into the pipework if the supply pressure dropped.
To prevent contaminated water being drawn back into the pipework if the supply pressure
dropped. To prevent contamination of drinking water in the premises and in the water
main, and to comply with the legal requirement of the UK plumbing regulations and
byelaws*, both hot and cold water supplied to this tap must come from a storage
cistern.
•If the distributing pipes feeding this tap from the storage cistern have other outlets
connected to them, the outlet of this tap must be lower than any of those other outlets.
•If installed as a tap which is used for drawing water for drinking, and the quality of water
from the storage cistern does not meet the standards for drinking water, a separate tap
supplied with wholesome water must be provided for drinking purposes.
•For further information, contact the Water Regulations department of your local Water
Supplier (see WRAS website www.wras.co.uk or Yellow Pages for details) or the Water
Regulations Advisory Scheme by e-mail ([e-mail]) or telephone: [phone].
•The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulation 1999 in England and Wales; The Scottish

General Specifications
Operating pressure range (bar) Min. Max.
1.0 5.0
Maximum static Pressure –10 bar
NOTE:-Nominally equal (balanced) inlet supply pressures are recommended for optimum
performance of mixer taps.
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 nominal requirements and will
minimise the build up of lime scale in hard water areas.
Installation Requirements.
This fitting needs to be installed in accordance with the following Installation Requirements and
Notes (IRN) to ensure they meet the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations 1999 and the Scottish Byelaws 2004. For further details contact your Local Water
Authority.
For backflow protection in premises or installations up to fluid category 5.
The vertical distance of the outlet above the spill-over level shall be not less than 20mm or twice
the diameter of the inlet pipe to the fitting, whichever is greater. If the fitting cannot be installed
as indicated it shall be installed:-
a) With a backflow prevention arrangement suitable for the Fluid Category or
b) So that it draws water by gravity only from a cistern, cylinder or tank having a
permanently open vent pipe, the vertical distance between the point at which the pipe or pipes
supply water to the fittings is or are connected to the supply and the spill over level of any fixed
appliances is not less than the dimensions stated above, and the vent pipe or pipes supplies no
other fittings (other than a draining tap) at a lower level.
It is essential that all pipe work is flushed through to remove debris and swarf that could
otherwise damage the fitting. Once the pipe work has been flushed through, turn off the
water supply at the stop valve.
Important: Independent stop valves complying with the current water regulations should be
fitted as a means of isolating both water supplies to the fitting for servicing and/or
maintenance work.

2. The pull-out handset (22) with an integral non-return valve (21) is pre-fitted to pull-out hose
(17) and mixer body (9).
3. Screw the fixing rod (16) into base of mixer tap.
4. Attach the fixing nut (17) and connection piece (18) to the fixing rod (16) and connect the
short pull out hose connector (24) as tight as possible by hand only (DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN)
5. Carefully screw both inlet flexible connecting pipes (18) into the two outer holes on the
underside of the mixer body (9) as tight as possible by hand only (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN).
Please note: It may be necessary (depending on size of hole in sink/work surface) to only fit
one flexible connecting pipe to the mixer prior to fitting the mixer in order to feed all flexible
connecting pipes and fixings through the hole and then fit the second flexible connecting pipe
from underneath after fitting the mixer.
6. Fit the mixer body (9), rubber washer (190), plinth (11) and O-ring (12) to the top of the
sink/work surface and fit the re-enforcing plate (13), C-shaped rubber washer (14) and C-
shaped metal washer (15) to the fixing rod (16), under the sink/work surface. Fully tighten
all connections, making sure mixer is securely fastened in place with operating handle
pointing in the desired position.

7. Connect small end of pull out hose (25) using sealing washer provided to end of pull-out hose
connector (24) already fitted in base of mixer and tighten fully.
8. Split the two halves of the black hose weight (19) by removing wire spring clip and place both
halves around a vertical section of black hose (25) under the fitted mixer so that it is pulling
the pull-out handset back into the mixer body spout and replace wire spring clip.
9. Connect both inlet flexi connecting pipes (18) to the hot and cold water supplies/household
pipe work. (The cold inlet pipe under the mixer should be on the right and hot on the left
when viewed from the front.)
Flexible Connecting Tails:
Care must be taken when connecting the
flexible connection pipes to the household
pipework to ensure they do not bend sharply
and kink or twist.
See below for recommended ways to fit the
flexible connecting pipes.
Important: Failure to follow these guidelines may result in poor performance and damage
to the flexible connecting pipes.
10. Carefully turn on both water supplies and gently turn on mixer by lifting the lever to the
fully on position and let run for a few minutes checking all joints and connections for leaks.
Operation
Moving the lever upwards/downwards from the mixer body will turn on/off and
increase/decrease the flow of water.
Moving the lever either to the left or right when in the up position (when the mixer is viewed
from the front) will increase/decrease the water temperature.
The pull out handset incorporates a push button, enabling the water flow to be altered from an
inner water stream to a wider outer spray pattern.

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.
If your fitting begins to leak the following should be carried out;
Isolate both hot and cold water supplies to the tap by either:
•Turning the water supply off at the mains stopcock or
•Turning off the isolation valves to the tap.
1. Remove the cap (2) underneath the lever of the handle (1) to reveal the grub screw (3).
2. Unscrew the grub screw (3) and remove the handle (1) by pulling away from the shroud (4).
3. Unscrew the shroud (4) and remove the cartridge retaining nut (5). Pull out the cartridge
(6).
4. Carefully clean the cartridge seals and seating on the base of the cartridge (6).
5. If necessary replace the cartridge.
Please visit www.bristan.com/sparesfinder in order to find spare parts for this product.
6. Replace the cartridge into the tap body (9) and tighten retaining nut (5) fully.
7. Replace all remaining components and turn on water supply.
8. Check for leaks and contact our helpline if problem persists.

Symptom Cause Remedy
No flow or poor flow
rate.
Partially closed stop or service
valve in water supply pipework to
the tap.

Head of water is below the
minimum distance required.
Refer to the Specification section
for minimum pressures required.
Possible airlock / blockage in

Remove water supplies from the
fitting and flush the system to
remove any airlocks / debris.
Cartridge / Valve not opening fully. Service fitting. Refer to
maintenance section on page 09
Water dripping for a few
seconds after the tap has
been turned off.
This is caused by ‘capillary action’
and residual water in the spout
being siphoned out. This should
only last for a couple of seconds.
Constant dripping /
leaking when the tap is
not in use.
Cartridge / Valve not fully shutting
off.
Service fitting and replace
cartridge / valve. Refer to
maintenance section on page 09
