Where the tap has a removable aerator on the spout exit it can be removed and cleaned periodically to maintain optimum flow
performance.
Important Technical Data:
Min / Max Hot operating pressure: 0.2 / 5.5 bar*
Min / Max Cold operating pressure: 0.75 / 5.5 bar*
Recommended / Maximum hot water temperature: 46 / 70°C*
Tap hole size and centres: ∅35mm
Flow characteristics: Dual flow
*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 either WRAS approved or 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 mixertap
single flow), then suitable non-return check) valves should be installed to the hot and cold supplies to prevent backflow can
be factory fitted – see parts list).
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. Always use the tail pipes provided. 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 above care advice.
This tap can be used in conjunction with a water softening system and will remove the need for a separate drinking water tap.
In this instance the isolator valve V) must cut into the unsoftened cold mains supply.

Installation Preparation:
All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage prior to installation.
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.
We strongly recommend installing particle filters and isolation valves 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.
This mixertap requires a 35mm∅ tap hole, 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. note the tap must not pass through a
surface thicker than 40mm.
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 the cold-water storage tank and pipes are fully empty. Please
note, the hot water storage cylinder if applicable) will always remain full.
Loosely position the tap and tail pipes to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is required, if this is the
case do this now.
Stage 1 – install the tap:
1. Screw the hollow fixing stud G) into the base of the tap A) using a spanner or 6mm allen key. Note:
drawing identifies water inlets.
2. Screw the hot and cold tail pipes I & H) into the base of the tap.
3. Place the upper seal C) on to the base of the tap A).
4. Place the tap centrally and straight to the tap hole, passing the hollow fixing stud G) and tail pipes I & H)
through the sink.
5. Pass the rubber horseshoe E) then the metal horseshoe F) over the hollow fixing stud G). Note: if the
tap is to be fitted to a stainless steel sink then the white triangular plate D) can be fitted where shown to
improve the stability of the tap.
6. Using a spanner tighten fixing nut J) onto the hollow fixing stud G), a box spanner or small basin wrench
will help if one is available.
7. Place the fibre washer K) into adaptor L), then tighten the adaptor L) onto the end of the hollow fixing
stud G).
8. Attach the hot water tail pipe I) to the water feed pipe using 15mm compression or end feed joints. Note:
the tail pipes can be carefully bent to give more space to allow these fittings to be attached.
9. Using compression nuts T) and olives U) connect the 3-way tee V) as shown to the cold water tail pipe
H).
Stage 2 – install the filter:
1. Locate a convenient position to install the filter P), remembering that it must be accessible when it is changed.
2. Using compression nuts T) and olives U) connect the 3-way tee V) as shown to the cold water supply pipe.
3. Screw the filter bracket R) to the cupboard wall using screws Q), if attaching the bracket to an interior wall use
rawl plugs also.
4. Remove the dust caps from the ends of the filter P) and write the installation date onto its label. Firmly push the
pushfit connectors O) onto each end of the filter.
5. Clip the filter P) into its bracket R) noting the direction of flow through it. The filter P) should be mounted
vertically.
6. Screw the pushfit connector M) into the adaptor nut L). Note we suggest using PTFE tape on the tapered
thread of fitting M), do not over tighten fitting M) it will not be flush to adaptor L) when in a sealed position.
7. Cut the blue flexible pipe N) so it is slightly longer than the required lengths to and from the filter unit. When
cutting the pipe use a sharp Stanley knife, ensuring that the pipe is cut cleanly and square at all ends.
8. Firmly push the blue pipe N) apx. 12mm into the pushfit connector M) and push fit connector O).
9. Firmly push the blue pipe N) into pushfit connector O) and the valve pushfit adaptor S).

Stage 3 – setting up the filtered water flow rate:
Turn your filter tap on fully so filtered water runs through it.
Note: when the filter is new it will take a moment to push any
air though the system, so water may not appear instantly.
You may notice some black discoloration in the water at this
point, this is loose carbon, it is normal and harmless and will
pass with further flushing. We suggest flushing apx. 20 litres
through the filter when new.
The filtered drinking water system performs at a maximum of 2-
3 L / min depending upon the quality of your water.
Turn the blue lever on the three way valve V) to adjust the
flow of filtered water to the appropriate flow rate, this can be
checked using a kitchen measuring jug for example 1 litre
should take 20-30 seconds.
After installation:
Once you have visually checked the installation of the new tap and all connections, ensure that all other fittings are
closed except the new tap which should be left open.
Turn on your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is open.
Check the function of flow and function of hot, cold, filtered and mixed water.
Turn off the tap and check carefully for any leaks around all connections on the fitting and adjoining plumbing.
If possible return to the installation after a longer period to double check for slower leaks. If pressure testing
equipment is available check the installation to the maximum recommended pressure.
Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then place a bag over the product to
protect the tap until it is ready for use.
The installation should be periodically checked for damage, if the property is left unattended for a prolonged period
we recommend isolating water supplies.
Using the tap:
Push the right side handle backwards for filtered water, forwards for unfiltered water.
For best results when using the filtered water always run the tap for a few moments to flush away any standing
water. The longer the filter has been unused the longer the system will need to be flushed. Running the filtered tap
will also make the water cooler for drinking.
When comparing the taste of filtered and unfiltered water always taste the filtered water first.
The dual stage filter is designed to improve the taste, clarity and odour of drinking water, it will not effect the water
hardness limescale) qualities.
Depending upon the quality of the incoming water source the blue lever on isolation valve U) should be adjusted.
The worse the quality of the incoming water the slower the flow rate of filtered water should be set in comparison
with the suggested optimum rate.
Each filter cartridge has a maximum 6 month lifespan. Complete and return the included registration card if you
wish to take advantage of our free postal reminder card service.
