Important - please read
Please read these instructions carefully before starting installation and keep for future
reference.
Remove all packaging and check the product for missing parts or damage before starting
installation.
Any alterations made to this product and ttings may infringe water regulations and will

The installation must comply with all Local/National Water Supply Authority Regulations/
Byelaws and Building and Plumbing Regulations.
We strongly recommend that you use a qualied and registered plumber.
General installation
These ttings are mixing devices and therefore water supplies must be reasonably
balanced.
Where connections are made to the mains cold water supply, single check valves must
be tted to both hot and cold inlets. This is a stated requirement of Water Supply (Water
Fittings) Regulations 1999 Schedule 2, Section 15.
Before making any inlet pipe connections, all supply pipes MUST be thoroughly 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 13.
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.
Care of the mixer
Our products are nished to the highest standard and due care needs to be taken to
ensure their looks are retained.
We recommend cleaning all products with a soft damp cloth ONLY and advise strongly
against the use of ALL cleaning products i.e. powders and liquids.
If the above instructions are not followed this will invalidate your guarantee in the event of
a problem occurring.
