of the mixer, flush out the system to remove
any debris in the pipework. This can be done
by connecting a hose to the pipework and
turning on the mains water supply long
enough to clear the debris to waste.
Connect the steel braided hoses to the hot
and cold supplies using standard ½” BSP tap
connectors.
Connect the waste outlet to standard 1¼” waste
trap.
