(b) Turn off water mains supply.
Specification:
Operating Pressure:
Minimum: 0.2 Bar
Maximum: 5.0 Bar
Hot Water Supply- Max 75 °c
Recommended 60-65 °c
Operating pressures on both hot and cold lines should be as even as possible in

General cleaning
Whilst modern plating techniques are used in the manufacture of these fittings, the
plating will wear if not cleaned properly. The safest way to clean your product is
to wipe with a soft damp cloth. Stains can be removed using washing up liquid.
All cleaning powders and liquids will damage the surface of your fitting even the
non-scratch cleaners.
