IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Professional installation
We recommend that our products are fitted by
a fully qualified professional plumber. They should
be installed correctly and in accordance with all
local water regulations and the system protected
by non-return valves (not supplied). All products
should be accessible for routine servicing.
Suits all systems
This Lefroy Brooks product is potentially suitable
for every possible application, type of boiler and
water supply pressure. However, if your supply
pressure is below 1 bar it is advisable to fit a water
pump. For systems with combination boilers,
it is not advisable to fit pumps (refer to boiler
manufacturer).
Supply connections
The hot and cold water supplies should be
connected using suitable ½" connectors.
Supply temperature safety notice
To comply with local building regulations, current
legislation, relevant standards and codes of
practice a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) should
be fitted (not supplied) to the hot supply. This
will restrict the temperature to a safe working
maximum temperature. Maximum allowed
temperatures vary subject to type of installation or
specification of building.
Balancing flow
If there is a significant dierence in water pressures
between hot & cold supplies, we recommend an
in-line flow suppressor/regulator (not supplied) be
fitted. This should be fitted to whichever has the
greater flow rate, in an accessible position close to
the valve. Do not fit the flow suppressor/regulator
at the spout as this will increase the pressure in the
flexible hoses.
Water quality
In hard water areas, a suitable water treatment
system should be provided to prevent limescale
deposits (calcium deposits) which may eect the
long term performance of the ceramic cartridges.
Exterior surfaces should be gently wiped with a
dry soft cloth after use to minimise water stains
and limescale deposits.
Flushing system
It is most important to flush out all pipework
thoroughly before connecting the product.
This is the single most common cause of ceramic
cartridge failure.

All serviceable parts are available to maintain your
Lefroy Brooks product.

SPOUT INSTALLATION
1 Where necessary drill a suitable sized hole in
the mounting surface.
2 Unscrew (clockwise) and remove the nut from
the bottom of the four way connector (A).
3 Remove the reducing bush from the bottom of
the four way connector (B).
4 There is a short length of copper tube at
the top of the four way connector. Unscrew
(clockwise) the nut at the top of the copper
tube (C). Gently pull the four way connector
assembly clear of the threaded tail. Be careful
not to damage the white tube that runs
through the threaded tail. There is an ‘o’ ring
in the bottom of the four way connector,
attached to the white tube; this will drop out
when removing the four way connector.
5 Unscrew (clockwise) and remove the backnut
and washer from the threaded tail (D).

FLOW VALVE INSTALLATION
Before continuing please be aware that on
lever models it is important to keep the flow
valve bodies and lever assemblies together as
supplied. Do not swap the lever assemblies
from hot and cold valves.
1 Where necessary drill Ø28–30mm holes in
the mounting surface.
2 Support the flow valve body then unscrew
(counter clockwise) and remove the
handle/lever assembly (K) from the valve
body.
3 Unscrew (counter clockwise) and remove the
deck plate (L). Do not remove the backnut
and washer.

FLOW VALVE INSTALLATION
4 Locate the flow valve through the hole in the
mounting surface (M).
5 Screw the deck plate onto the top of the
flow valve, beyond the level of the ceramic
cartridge (N).
6 On handle models rotate the splines on top
of the ceramic cartridges so that they are in
the fully clockwise position. On lever models
rotate the splines on top of the ‘hot’ ceramic
cartridge so that they are in the fully clockwise
position and the splines on top of the ‘cold’
ceramic cartridge so that they are in the fully
counter clockwise position. The
handles/levers can be loosely located to
achieve this.
7 Rotate the flow valve body so that the side
outlet port is facing the required direction for
connection.

lateral handwheel/lever
movement is eliminated

FLOW VALVE INSTALLATION
8 With the handle/lever hot and cold indicators
aligned, locate the handle/lever assembly
onto the splines of the cartridge (P). Rotate
the shroud of the handle/lever assembly in a
clockwise direction until lateral movement of
the handle/lever is eliminated (Q). DO NOT
tighten the handle/lever assembly in place
as this may damage the ceramic cartridge.
The aim is to simply rotate the handle/
lever assembly shroud until the handle/
lever no longer has any lateral/up and down
movement.
9 With the lateral movement adjustment
completed, rotate the deck plate counter
clockwise to meet the handle/lever assembly,
leaving no gap between them (R).
10 Ensure that the handle/lever alignment is
as required before securing the flow valve
in place. The flow valve can be rotated to
correct any small alignment issues. Tighten the
backnut to secure the flow valve in place (S).

POP-UP WASTE INSTALLATION
1 Insert the pop-up waste lever into the hole in
the top of the spout.
2 Assemble the pop-up waste to the basin with
the foam seal on top of the mounting surface
and the rubber seal below. The wide diameter
of the rubber seal sits on top of the waste
body. Tighten by hand.
3 Place the control rod link onto the rod of the
pop-up waste lever, then feed the control rod
through. Locate the short end of the control
rod, the one with the ball, into the waste and
secure by screwing the ball joint retainer in
place. Do not over tighten.
4 Gently clamp the control rod link to the
pop-up waste lever rod. Test the operation
of the pop-up waste and if satisfactory fully
tighten the control rod link to the pop-up
waste lever rod. If not satisfactory then
make adjustments to the control rod link as
required. If the operation is sti simply loosen
the ball joint retainer as required.
5 Connect the flexible hoses to the basin mixer.
6 Connect the hot and cold water supplies to
the bottom of the appropriate flexible hoses.
Turn on the water supplies and check for
leaks. Check the operation of the basin mixer.

SERVICING – CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Before continuing please ensure that the
water supplies have been isolated and drained
where necessary.
To remove the ceramic cartridge(s), unscrew
(counter clockwise) and remove the handle/
lever assembly/assemblies (U).
1 Support the flow valve body then unscrew
(counter clockwise) and remove the ceramic
cartridge(s) using a 17mm spanner (V).
2 Assemble in the reverse order.
3 Refer to point 8–10 in the ‘flow valve
installation’ section to ensure the handle/lever
assembly/assemblies is/are installed correctly.
