typically this can be used to preheat your cup, if unused for extended periods then flush the product a
longer time.
This tap has been designed to have a spout rotation range of 180°.

Your tap can dispense 3 types of water:
•Hot (boiled) filtered water Slide the hot (boiling) button across horizontally (Fig. 2)and then
simultaneously turn the handle backwards (Fig. 3), the further backwards the handle is turned the greater
the flow. It is normal for the hot water to take a moment to start and stop dispensing as the water empties
from the product after use.
•Hot & Cold (domestic) water - This is delivered when the right-side handle is tilted right (Fig. 4) to increase
flow. Cold water is 45° backwards position becoming warmer as the handle is rotated forwards (Fig. 4).

Tap installation
Important Technical Data
Minimum operating pressure (hot): 0.75 bar
Minimum operating pressure (cold): 1.5 bar
Maximum operating pressure: 5.5 bar*
Maximum domestic hot water temperature: 60°C*
Flow characteristics: Domestic Hot & Cold share
outer single flow spout.
Boiled filtered water: Through centre spout channel.
Recommended domestic hot water Temperature: 46°C
⚠*If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for short periods, damage can result. In these
instances, a thermostatic mixing or pressure reducing valve should be installed.
⚠This product is manufactured in accordance with recognised European standards. Please ensure that
your kitchen mixer is fitted in accordance with Local Water Byelaws. Where hot and cold water mix within
the tap, then suitable non return (check) valves should be installed to both the hot and cold supplies to
prevent backflow, a preinstalled non return valve on the cold supply flexi hose (B6) is already supplied (see
instructions key).
Hot and cold supply pressures should be as closely balanced as possible for best results. Supply pipes
should maintain the maximum diameter until immediately before the fitting. The differential between the hot
and cold water supply temperatures should be sufficient to allow correct mixing function.
⚠These installation guidelines have been prepared for your direction and you must exercise due care at all
times. We do not accept responsibility for problems that may occur through improper installation. Whilst
assembling the tap take care not to accidentally loosen any factory fixed assemblies.
This tap has been 100% assembly tested; therefore you may expect a small residual amount of water to
remain in the tap when delivered. Any water marks can be removed using the care advice.

Installation Preparation
⚠You must install the mixertap and filter before the boiler.
⚠Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order
to remove any remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple
procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of the mixertap or boiler.
We recommend installing particle filters (not shown) and isolation valves (B6) to both the hot and cold
feed pipes in an accessible position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any
future maintenance.
⚠Ensure you have suitable domestic hot and cold water pressure before installing this product (see
technical data).
All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage and
completeness prior to installation.
Loosely position the tap, pipes and other principal supply components to check if any alterations to the
existing supply pipework is required, if this is the case do this now.
⚠Shut off your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is closed. Open the lowest hot
and cold taps in the house and allow the water to run until fully stopped.
If replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the end of the feed pipes using wire wool, the tap hole area
should be free from dirt and sealant.
This mixertap requires a Ø35mm tap hole.
This tap is designed to be installed in a worktop
with a maximum thickness of 50mm.

Install the tap:
This diagram shows the view of the
base of the tap (A1) with the 98°C
water handle to the left of the body.
⚠YOU MUST
CAREFULLY RESPECT
THE INLETS AND
OUTLETS AS SHOWN
1. Screw the fixing stud (A8) into base of tap (A1) as shown on the diagram.
2. Place the base plinth (A2) and base plinth seal (A3) onto the base of the tap (A1).
3. Hand tighten the domestic hot in flexible hose (B1) as shown in the diagram.
4. Hand tighten the domestic cold in flexible hose (B2) as shown in the diagram.
5. Hand tighten the cold out flexible hose (C1) as shown in the diagram.
6. Place the tap (A1-A3) centrally and straight to the tap hole, passing the fixing stud (A8), flexi hoses (B1, B6, C1) and
silicone tube (D1) through the tap hole.
7. Pass the lower gasket (A6) then the metal horseshoe (A7) over the fixing stud (A8). Note: only if the tap is to be
fitted to a stainless steel sink then the white triangular plate (A5) can be fitted where shown to improve the stability
of the tap.
8. Using a 13mm box spanner or small adjustable spanner tighten fixing nut (A9) onto the fixing stud (A8).
9. Screw pushfit (C4) into brass adaptor (C3).
⚠We recommend using PTFE tape (do not use sealing compound) on the thread of the pushfit fittings to make a
good seal without applying excessive force (which may damage the plastic pushfit if overtightened).
10. Screw pushfit (C4) and adaptor (C3) into the cold out flexible hose (C1) ensuring fibre washer (C2) is in place.
11. Connect the domestic hot water flexible hose (B1) to the hot water isolation valve (B6).
12. Connect the domestic cold water flexible hose (B2) to the cold water isolation valve (B6) using a section of 15mm
pipe (B5) and compression nut (B4) and olive (B3). Note: Parts (B3, B4, B5 & B6) are not supplied.
⚠If your customer has a water softener installed you must attach cold water flexible hose (B2) to an unsoftened
cold water source.
13. Compress (using pliers or similar) and pass spring clip (D2) over silicone tube (D1) then push barbed stem adaptor
(D3) fully into silicone tube (D1), then compress and position the spring clip (D2) over both the middle of the barbed
section of adaptor (D3) and silicone tube (D1).
Silicone hose (D1) can be cut to length if it is longer than required, we suggest this is only adjusted if needed
after the installation of the boiler (after the boiler’s output silicone tube has been cut to length).
14. Fibre washer (D4) will need to be inserted inside the threaded end of adaptor (D3) when connecting the tap to the
boiler later in the installation, we suggest taping washer (D4) to adaptor (D3) until this time so it is not misplaced.

Install the Filter:
1. Find a suitable place to mount the filter cartridge (C8) under the sink, it must be mounted vertically, easily
accessible (to be changed periodically), away from any heat source or electrical connections and close
enough not to exceed the available length of the ¼” plastic pipe (C5, C9) supplied to reach between the tap,
filter and boiler (place the boiler temporarily to help judge the required lengths of ¼” plastic pipe).
2. Using the self-tapping screw (C6) securely fix the filter bracket (C7) to the cabinet wall.
3. Write the installation date onto the filter label in permanent pen.
4. Clip the filter cartridge (C8) into the bracket (C7) as shown.
You must respect the direction of flow as indicated on the filter cartridge (C8).
5. Measure and then cut required length of ¼” pipe (C5) to connect pushfit (C4) to the filter cartridge (C8) inlet,
allow a small amount of extra length to make it easier to change the filter.
6. Firmly push connect the ¼” pipe (C5) between pushfit (C4) and filter cartridge inlet (C8).
7. Firmly push connect the remaining ¼” pipe (C9) into the filter cartridge outlet (C8).
After Installation:
1. Reconnect the domestic hot and cold water supplies and open hot and cold isolation valves (B6). As the
system starts to refill, check carefully all new water connections for leaks. After the product installation is
complete we recommend you recheck for any slower leaks.
2. ⚠It is normal for new filter cartridges to lose a small amount of loose carbon when first used and will
dissipate with flushing, whilst harmless to consume if the carbon particles are not flushed prior to connection
to the boiler they may partly block the boiler and reduce the flow rate. You must flush the filter for at least 2
litres with cold water or until the water become clear (without black carbon particles).
3. Place the ¼” pipe (C9) from the filter cartridge (C8) outlet into a bowl or bucket.
4. Turn on the 98°C backwards handle fully, keep the lever open until all air is expelled and cold (filtered) water
exits the ¼” pipe (C8) into the bowl, flush a minimum of a further 2 litres of cold (filtered) water through the
¼” pipe (C8). You may notice a discolouration to the water at first, this is loose carbon particles from the
filter it is normal, harmless and will pass with flushing. Continue to flush the filter until the water runs clear.
Once complete turn off the 98°C handle.
5. Please refer to ‘PROBOIL.2X User & Installation Guide’ for the next steps on how to install the boiler and
connect the tap and filter.
