•All products manufactured and supplied by Bristan are safe provided they are
installed, used correctly and receive regular maintenance in accordance with these
instructions.
•If you are in any doubt about your ability to install this product safely you must

•This fitting needs to be installed in accordance with, and meet the requirements of the
Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and Scottish Byelaws 2004.
•Remove all packaging and check the fitting for damage before starting installation.
•Warning: Before starting any installation please consider the following: before
drilling into walls, check that there are no hidden electrical wires, cables or water
supply pipes. This can be checked with the aid of an electronic detector.
•If power tools are used do not forget to: - Wear eye protection
-
Unplug equipment
after use
•Important: Remember to turn off the mains water supply before connecting to any
existing pipe work. Fitting isolating valves to the inlet feeds is recommended for ease
of maintenance.
•Warning: Before installing the new fitting it is essential that you thoroughly flush
through the pipework in order to remove any remaining swarf, solder, etc.
Failure to carry out this procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of
the fitting.
•Take care when handling the ‘flexible connecting pipes’, do not bend, twist or crush
them. Only tighten the pipes by hand.
•Your fitting has a high quality finish 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 fitting 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.
•This product must not be modified in any way as this will invalidate the guarantee.

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 and 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 the fitting is installed at low pressure (tank fed), then the minimum distance from the
highest installed position of the outlet to the underside of the cold tank should be at
least 10 metres to ensure adequate performance.
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.

Before installation
Flush through the pipework to ensure
removal of debris. Turn off both water
supplies or close any isolating valves.
1. Fit the tap to sink
Thread the fixing rod into the bottom of the
tap (if not aleady fitted). Fit the tap to the
basin / sink / work surface ensuring the
washer is fitted to the bottom of the tap to
ensure a water tight seal between the tap
and mounting surface.
Thread the 'C' shaped fixing plate on to the
fixing rod up to the underside of the basin /
sink / work surface.
Secure the tap in place by screwing the
fixing nut onto the fixing rod.
Tighten the fixing nut fully using a suitable
spanner.
2. Connect water supplies
Screw the flexible connecting pipes into
the bottom of the tap body, ensuring they
are tightened fully (hand tighten only, do
not over tighten).
Screw the isolating valves onto the
flexible connecting pipes ensuring the
filter washers are fitted in the flexible
connecting pipe nuts.
Connect the isolating valves onto the water
supply pipework using the compression
nuts and olives supplied and tighten
securely using a suitable spanner.
Turn on both water supplies and operate
the tap by pushing down and releasing
the handle to ensure the tap is working
correctly.

Maintenance
Your fitting has a high quality finish 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.
General Cleaning
Before carrying out this maintenance,
turn off both isolating valves and operate
the tap to release any built up water
pressure within the tap.
Unscrew the flexible connecting pipes
from the isolation valves. Remove the
filter washers to reveal the non return
valves inside the bottom of the flexible
connecting pipes.
Pull the non return valves out from the
flexible connecting pipes using suitable
long nose pilers and clean under running
water.
Check the non return valve opens freely,
replace with new NRV's from Bristan if
faulty.
Replace the non return valves in the
bottom of the flexible connecting pipes
pushing them in fully.
Reconnect the flexible connecting pipes
to the isolation valves ensuring the filter
washers are refitted.
Cleaning the Non Return Valves
(NRV)
Turn on both isolation valves and operate
the tap to ensure the non return valves
open freely.
