Unequal Pressure Systems
1. If the system is supplied by a pressure pump, ensure that the pump can maintain 300
kPa at the cold Inlet. If not, install a low pressure cold feed and install the mixer as if
for a low pressure equal system.
2. If the Cold pressure is ABOVE 400kPa, install the mixer without modification.
(i.e. with red nozzle as factory fitted.)
3. If the Cold pressure is BELOW 400kPa, replace the Red Nozzle with the Blue Nozzle
supplied in the carton.
a) To remove a nozzle from the mixer body fit a 6mm Allen key into the hexagon
outlet of the nozzle and turn anti-clockwise until the nozzle comes free of
the mixer body.
b) Fitting a nozzle is the reverse procedure to removal. The nozzle is in the
correct position when approximately 2mm of the nozzle protrudes from
the outlet of the mixer. Do not use excessive force when fitting the nozzle, it
should turn freely. Screw in until just tight and then unscrew ½ a turn.
Equal Pressure Systems
Remove and discard nozzle from mixer.

IMPORTANT
Please read all of the instructions before installation
Avoid restrictive piping, fitting or sharp angled bends when plumbing the mixer.
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 installation of the mixer. In-line filters must
be installed on both hot and cold supplies to prevent foreign particles damaging the ceramic
cartridge.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure a water proof seal is achieved
between the escutcheon and finished surface of the wall. If in any doubt about the quality
of the seal the escutcheon should be removed and then reinstall using silicon to ensure a
seal is achieved.
