Installation
Important Information
*HOT & COLD WATER INLET PRESSURES MUST BE EQUAL.
Not suitable for gravity feed systems.

+ Not supplied.
AURA - WALL BASIN/BATH MIXER
WATER EFFICIENT TAPWARE
Brazed connections should NOT be made directly onto the
mixer, as excessive heat will cause permanent damage.
All pipework must be thoroughly flushed prior to installation,
as foreign materials may block the flow regulating device
and reduce the flow of water.
*
*
Complete the connections. (Fig. 2). Check all connections for
leaks and the mixer for correct operation.
Note: Pipework and fittings are not supplied.
3)
Fit the mounting plate (11) onto a suitable noggin in the wall &
secure using screws through the holes in each corner.
Important :
The mounting plate (11) must be installed horizontal & parallel
to the face of the wall studs to ensure correct installation.
To avoid damaging the decorative finish, do not remove the
protective sleeve until installation has been completed.
2)
*
*
*Basin outlet is fitted with a flow regulated aerator insert.
This low flow rate may not be suitable for connection to
some Instantaneous Gas Water Heaters, some Tempering
Valves, some Solar Water Heaters & some Thermostatic
Mixing Valves.
Check with the manufacturers of these products.
Note:- An aerator insert kit (Part No. SP2001), is available
if required. For applications where flow regulation is not
suitable (e.g. bath) a full flow aerator insert has been
provided within the packaging. To convert the basin
outlet to a bath outlet, refer to 'Replacing Aerator Insert'
Turn on Hot and Cold water supplies and check operation.

Fit handle (1) taking care that it is pushed fully onto cartridge
stem, tighten screw (4) using the 2.5mm allen key (3) then fit
plug (2).
5)
6) Screw the spigot (15) onto the thread of the lugged elbow (12)
using a 10mm allen key (14+) untill the cover plate (9) is held
securely against the wall/tile face. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Apply suitable lubricant to 'O'Rings on spigot (15).
7) Fit wall outlet (17) onto the spigot (15), then carefully push it
firmly against the cover plate while tightening grub screws (16)
using the 2.5mm allen key (3) provided. Take care that the
aerator housing (20) is pointing vertically downwards before
tightening screws (16). (Fig.4)
3) Fit new aerator insert (19) into aerator housing (20) followed
by 'O'Ring (18) then screw assembly into outlet (17) and
tighten securely (to prevent removal by hand).
2) Remove 'O'Ring (18) & aerator insert (19) from aerator housing
(20). Check that aerator housing (20) is clean. Deposits of lime
can be removed by washing in a vinegar solution.
1) Carefully remove aerator housing (20) from outlet (17),
taking care not to damage the decorative finish.
Screw on nut (6). Important:- Nut (6) should be tightened to a
torque of 10 Nm.
Ensure inside face of mixer body (8) is clean. Check that seal is in
position in base of new cartridge (7). Fit new cartridge (7) into
mixer body (8), taking care that two lugs on base of cartridge (7)
fit into mating holes in mixer body (8).
Carefully remove plug (2) before using a 2.5mm allen key (3) to
loosen grub screw (4) and remove handle (1). Remove cap (5)
taking care not to damage the decorative finish. Unscrew nut (6)
then lift out old cartridge (7).

6)Turn on water supplies and check operation.
Fit handle (1) taking care that it is pushed fully onto cartridge
stem, then tighten grub screw (4) using the 2.5mm allen key (3).
Replace plug (2), taking care not to damage the decorative finish.
Turn off hot and cold water supplies.
Replacing Cartridge (Fig. 1)
Replacing Aerator Insert(Fig.4)
1)Determine if outlet (17) is to be positioned to the right or the left of
the mixer body (8) when installed (Fig 3.). Fit suitable fittings to the
connection ports of the mixer (8) (Fig 2.). When facing the mixer,
the connections should be as follows :
Hot water inlet connection 'H' to the left.
Cold water inlet connection 'C' to the right.
Mixed water outlet connection, vertically upwards.
Note: A suitable elbow fitting (13+) should be fitted to the
inlet connection adjacent to the lugged elbow (12) (Fig.2).
Attach the mixer body (8) & the lugged elbow (12) to the mounting
plate (11) with screws (10) and tighten using a suitable screw driver.
Note: Mounting plate can be rotated 180 to change hand.
4) Apply a suitable clear sealant to the back face of the cover
plate (9), leaving an unsealed section at the bottom for drainage.
Carefully fit the cover plate (9) onto the mixer body (8), push
firmly on the cover plate (9) until it contacts the wall/tile face.
Wipe clean any excess sealant from the chrome surfaces & the
wall/tile face (See Fig. 1). Check that the thread on the lugged
elbow (12) is the correct length, as shown (Fig. 4). Cut to length
if required ensuring end face is square. Apply thread tape to the
thread. Important: Care must be taken that thread tape cannot
become dislodged and block the flow regulating device, causing
a reduction in water flow. To ensure correct installation, length
of exposed thread must not exceed 10mm.
