Product Information:
The product is a wall top assembly for tapware, specifically
designed for installation in finished walls. It includes various
components such as a handle body, set screw, dress ring, locking
sleeve, fibre ceramic disc, washer spindle, and tap seat body. The

finished wall surface. The product is compatible with standard wall
breeches and can be used with new or existing installations.
The product code for the wall top assembly is RWTA for the
standard version and RWTA-V for the Vertex version. It meets the
AS/NZS 3718:2005 standard and is licensed under LIC. 20081. The
recommended working water pressure is 300-500 kpa, and the maximum
water temperature is 65 deg.c.
Product Usage Instructions:
Rough in plumbing:
- Upon receiving the tapware, carefully unpack it, and separate
the parts as shown in the diagram. - Install the spindles hand-tight until the seal makes contact
with the seat. - To ensure a good seal, tighten the spindles slightly more using
an appropriate spanner. Do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the
ceramic discs. - Place the fibre washer over the seated spindle and fit the
locking sleeve tightly. - Seal the wall around the locking sleeve and immediately fit the
dress ring. - Fit the handle body onto the spindle, ensuring it is fully
engaged. Apply a mild adhesive to the set screw when securing it to
the spindle. - Tighten the set screw using the provided 2mm Allen key.
- After completing the installation, establish water supply,
check the function of the tapware, and ensure there are no water
leaks.
Rough in (new wall breech):
- Use a standard wall breech (not supplied) in conjunction with
the tapware. - Prepare a nogging to be fitted 30-35mm back from the front of
the stud for fixing the wall breech. - Ensure the tap seats of the breech will be level and square to
the finished wall. - Calculate the thickness of the finished wall coverings before
rough in. If using thicker than normal wall covering, position the
breech as forward as possible to ensure proper fit of the
tapware.
Using existing breech (changing tapware only):
- Remove the old spindles and clean the surrounding area.
- When installing new spindles into old breaching, it is
recommended to use a re-seating tool to dress the seat. - Ensure the spindle seat is clean, flat, and free of any
debris. - Flush all lines completely before fitting the spindles.
- The distance from the finished wall surface to the top of the
tap seat must be between 2 to 12mm. If not within these dimensions,
alternative spindles are available for purchase. - Do not use seat or breech body extensions with this tapware as
it will void the warranty.
