Turn off hot and cold water supplies.
1)
Carefully fit the wall cover plate (8) followed by the retaining
ring (7) onto the mixer body (12), ensuring the pin in the retaining
ring is engaged in the location slot (with the screws at the bottom).
Push the retaining ring and wall cover plate firmly against the
wall/tile face and tighten screws (6) using 2mm allen key (5). Wipe
clean any excess sealant from the decorative surfaces & the
wall/tile face. (See Fig.1)
4)
Carefully remove plug (4) before using a 2.5mm allen key
(3) to loosen grub screw (2) and remove handle (1).
Remove cap (9) taking care not to damage the decorative
finish. Unscrew nut (10) then lift out old cartridge (11).
Ensure inside face of mixer body (12) is clean. Check that
seal is in position in base of new cartridge (11). Fit new
cartridge (11) into mixer body (12), taking care that two
lugs on base of cartridge (11) fit into mating holes in mixer
body (12).
Screw on nut (10). Important : Nut (10) should be
tightened to a torque of 10Nm.
Replace cap (9), tightening by hand. Fit handle (1) taking
care that it is pushed fully down. Tighten grub screw (2)
then replace plug (4).

Fit handle (1) as shown, taking care that it is pushed fully down.
Tighten grub screw (2) using 2.5mm allen key (3) then insert
plug (4).
Apply thread tape to the thread of wall elbow (14+).
Important: Care must be taken that thread tape cannot become
dislodged and block the flow regulating device, causing a
reduction in water flow.
7) Apply a suitable clear sealant in the corner around the location
diameter of the retaining ring (18) to prevent water entering the
wall cavity (See Fig.4). Slide the retaining ring (18) onto the
basin outlet (13). Screw the inlet of the basin outlet (13) onto the
thread of the wall elbow (14+) until its base is adjacent to the wall
cover plate, then screw on a further 2-3 turns and position so that
the aerator insert is pointing down as shown, taking care not to
damage the decorative finish. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Push the
retaining ring (18) firmly against the wall cover plate (8) and tighten
screws (6) using 2mm allen key (5).

Important Information
Fit mixer body (12) onto a suitable mounting plate or noggin
in the wall and secure using screws through the holes in its
base. 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 (15+) should be fitted to the
inlet connection adjacent to the basin outlet (13) (Fig.3).
Check all connections for leaks.
Important :
Mixer body (12) must be installed square to wall/tile face,
to ensure wall cover plate (8) sits flush.
To avoid damaging the decorative finish, do not remove the
plastic protective sleeve until installation has been completed.
Accurately mount a wall elbow (14+) (or equivalent) for
connection to the basin outlet in the desired orientation
(to the right or left of mixer body)(Fig.2).
Important :
All care should be taken that the wall elbow (14+) is mounted
accurately in line with, and at a distance of 90mm 2 from
the adjacent mixer body (12) and that it is square to the
wall/tile face (Fig.3). Connect the mixer body outlet to the
wall elbow (14+). Note: Pipework and fittings are not supplied.
*
*
Brazed connections should NOT be made directly onto
mixer, as exccesive heat will cause permanent damage.
In-wall components must be mounted accurately to
ensure tapware operates correctly when installed.
Not suitable for gravity feed systems.
All pipework must be thoroughly flushed prior to
installation, as foreign materials may block the flow
regulating device and reduce the flow of water.
Note: Aerator insert must be retightened to prevent
removal by hand.
*
*
*
*
*
Wall basin outlet is fitted with a flow regulated aerator
insert.
The lower 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.
HOT & COLD WATER INLET PRESSURES MUST BE EQUAL.
*
Apply a suitable clear sealant to the back face of the wall cover
plate (8), leaving an unsealed section at the bottom for drainage.
Apply a suitable clear sealant in the corner around the location
diameter of the retaining ring (7) to prevent water entering the
wall cavity (See Fig 1).
3)
Removing Aerator Insert (Fig.4)
1) Aerator insert (16) can be removed with spanner (17) provided.
2) Deposits of lime can be removed by washing in a vinegar
solution.
3) When replacing aerator insert (16), be careful that thread
is engaged correctly and 'O' ring is not damaged as it enters
the bore. Tighten securely (to prevent removal by hand)
using spanner (17).
