Do not hydrostatic test the installation with
this mixer installed. Damage to the ceramic

All pipe work must be thoroughly flushed prior

In-line filters must be fitted on both hot and

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
