abrasive of polish. For care of special finishes please visit our website.
Maintenance
Aerators may need to be flushed from time to time if flow diminishes or stream
pattern deteriorates. For Pegasi & Cascade mixers, use the aerator key provided
to unscrew the aerator. You will notice a “castle” pattern around the edge of the
aerator, the key engages with this allowing you to unscrew the insert easily. For Zeos
models, use the aerator key to unscrew the aerator housing, you will then be able to
pop the insert out the top of the housing. Rinse o the upper face of the insert with
running water and gently brush clean with an old toothbrush to remove any debris
before refitting the aerator.

Basin Sets
1. Loosely fit the tee breech into the 2 bodies and hold the assembly over the basin tap
holes to check the spacing, the tee breech can be trimmed with standard tube cutters to
adjust the width.
2. Assemble the bodies to the breech with the nuts and plastic compression rings, ensure
the spacing between bodies is correct and that the bodies and tee spigot are all perfectly
aligned, then tighten together firmly
3. Place the clear vinyl washer over the spout thread and place the assembly into the outlet hole
in the basin or benchtop.
4. Ensure that the outlet is central in the hole and that the grub screw fixing hole is facing
the back, then fasten in place with the grey plastic nut.

bore and press all the way up until the 2 o-rings are well inserted into the spout bore
making sure that the bodies are aligned with the tap holes.
8. Hold the assembly in place whilst dropping a red fibre washer onto the protruding bodies
and loosely screwing a body nut onto the top of each body
9. Screw the top body nuts on just until the top of the nuts are flush with the top of the body,
then screw the lower nuts up to the underside of the basin, now you can tighten the top
body nuts to secure in place.

Washing Machine Taps
1. Ensure that the ½” water supply lug is not protruding from the wall/hob more than
15mm. Remove any debris or tile glue from the lug, wind suicient thread tape onto the lug.
2. Run a liberal amount of water into a bucket to rinse the lines.
3. Place a flange/ dress ring onto the point and screw the tap back to the tiles.
4. Test the system.
Valve and Tap Assemblies
1. If you are fitting to existing bodies, check that the body seats are clean and smooth, re-
seat if necessary.
2. Note that the valves come in 2 pieces, the valve cartridge and the locknut. Do not
assemble the 2 pieces together until later in the installation.
3. Note that 1 of the valve cartridges will have a red mark on the spline, this is the Hot valve
and should be fitted on the left side.
4. Carefully screw the valve cartridge into the body by hand and nip up very gently with a
suitable sized ring spanner.
• Do not over tighten otherwise the brass cartridge can become deformed and will leak.
• Do not use vice grips, otherwise the brass and o-ring can get damaged causing leaks.
5. Once the cartridge is installed, slide a red fibre washer over the cartridge and screw on
the locknut. Tighten this firmly with a spanner.
6. Push flange onto valve coveruntill it is at the bottom.
7. Screw cover and flange assembly onto the locknut until it butts up firmly against the
surface of the wall/benchtop. Push flange back.
8. Starting with the left side (Hot tap), rotate the valve spline all the way clockwise by hand,
this is the closed position. Fit the lever over the spline in the horizontal direction with the
lever out to the left. See step 13 if needed.
9. Place nickel plated nut over valve spindle. Clip white plastic clip onto top of valve just
below spline.
10. Place handles over spline and tighten nut up with supplied spanner.
11. To fit the handle on the right side (Cold tap), first turn the valve all the way anti-clockwise,
this is the closed position. Fit the lever over the spline in the horizontal direction with the
lever out to the right.
12. Repeat above steps for other tap
13. Note that for accurate leveling of the handles, should the spline not provide suicient
adjustment, you can loosen the locknut on the valve and move the inner cartridge slightly.
The seals have adjustment built in. See the video that explains this procedure at:
