REMEMBER
• Our taps must be installed by professional installers in accordance with current regulations and
recommendations in your country, and the specifications of the fluid engineer.
• Sizing the pipes correctly will avoid problems offlow rate, pressure loss and water hammer
(see calculation table in our brochure and online at www.delabie.com).
• Protect the installation with filters, water hammer absorbers and pressure reducers to reduce
the frequency of maintenance (recommended pressure from 1 to 5 bar maximum).
• Install stopcocks close to the tap to facilitate maintenance.
• The pipework, filters, non-return valves, stopcocks, bib taps, cartridge and all sanitary fittings should
be checked at least once ayear, and more frequently if necessary.
