General:
Methven recommends this product is installed
by a licensed plumber in compliance with all
relevant regional regulations.
Do not hydrostatic test the installation with
this mixer installed. Damage to the ceramic
cartridge may occur.
All pipe work must be thoroughly flushed prior
to the installation of the mixer.
In-line filters must be fitted on both hot and
cold supplies to prevent foreign particles
damaging the ceramic cartridge.
Do not remove the ceramic cartridge from the
mixer when installing.
After installation all connections must be
checked for leaks.
All outlets used primarily for personal hygiene
shall deliver water at a safe temperature as per
regional regulations.
This mixer is not recommended for use in
uncontrolled heating systems such as
wet-backs or solar heating units unless a
suitable tempering valve is fitted.
If limited water flow is experienced, locate
aerator and filter washers and clean away
foreign material as required.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
a waterproof seal is achieved between the
product and mounting surface. If in doubt
about the quality of the seal, remove the
product and reinstall using silicone to ensure a
seal is achieved.
