These ttings are mixing devices and therefore water supplies must be reasonably

Where connections are made to the mains cold water supply, WRC approved single

ushed to remove debris. Failure to do so could result in damage or low ow from the
mixer unit. Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 Schedule 2 Section 4 G13.1
The tting of isolating valves to the inlet feeds is advised for ease of maintenance.
Please take great care when installing this mixer not to damage its surface.
Please note if installing in an enclosed environment, access should be left for servicing
and maintenance. No costs relating to inadequate access can be accepted.
