Product Usage Instructions
Installation Instructions: Preparation
- Thoroughly flush through the supply pipes to remove any
remaining solder, swarf, or impurities from your system before
installing the new product. Failure to do so may cause problems,
damage to the product, or reduce performance, which could
invalidate the warranty. - Install particle filters and isolation valves to both the hot
and cold feed pipes in an accessible position. This will help
prevent premature valve failure and ease future maintenance. - Inspect all parts for transport damage before
installation. - Shut off the hot and cold water supply locally at the point of
installation. If not possible, turn off the mains stopcock and
power to any heating system. Open the lowest tap or drain point in
the system until both hot and cold supplies are fully drained. - If replacing an existing product, remove it and clean the end
of the hot and cold feed pipes using wire wool. Ensure that the tap
hole area is free from dirt and sealant. Take into account any
backwards and forwards operation of the handles when planning the
sink or tap hole position. Check if any alteration to the existing
pipework is required and make necessary adjustments.
Correct use of Flexible Hose Connectors
- If the product is supplied with flexible hose connections,
follow these guidelines to ensure warranty validity: - Screw the flexi hoses into the product only by hand until
feeling mechanical rest. Do not use a spanner on the product end of
the connecting hose. - Use the provided pipes and not alternative substitutes.
- Ensure that the braiding on the flexible hose does not come
into contact with chemicals, internal or external room walls,
dissimilar metals or materials, or sharp objects.

Installation Instructions: Preparation
Before installing the new product it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to remove any remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of the product or reduce performance invalidating the warranty.
We strongly recommend best practice of installing particle filters and isolation valves to both the hot and cold feed pipes in an accessible position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any future maintenance.
All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage prior to installation.
Shut off (isolate) your hot and cold water supply locally at the point of installation before continuing with the installation. If the water cannot be isolated locally the turn off the mains stopcock and power to any heating system, now open the lowest tap or drain point in the system until both hot and cold supplies are fully drained.
This product requires a 35mm tap hole, if replacing an existing product, remove it and clean the end of the hot and cold feed pipes using wire wool, the tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant. If the handles on the product operate backwards and forwards, allow for this when planning the sink or tap hole position. Loosely position the product and fittings to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is required, if needed, do this now.
Correct use of Flexible Hose Connectors
If this product is supplied with flexible hose connections for ease of installation you must observe the conditions below, failure to observe these standard installation guidelines will invalidate the warranty for your product.
Always screw the flexi hoses into the product only by hand, until feeling mechanical rest, a spanner must not be used on the product end of the connecting hose.
Always use the pipes provided and not an alternative substitute
The braiding on the flexible hose must not be in contact with anything else, for example chemicals, internal or external room walls or dissimilar metals or materials or sharp objects.
Never twist or stretch the flexible hose during installation.
Do not overtighten the hexagonal end of the hose connecting to the supply feeds when using a spanner causing the hose to twist.
Before assembling the hose to the product ensure the hose ferrule has been crimped (as highlighted) on both ends of the hose after the braided hose sleeve.
50mmØ
Hoses must not be double bent in multiple directions kinked or looped.
Observe the minimum bend radius of 50mm.
Both ends of the hose must have a minimum 50mm straight section before any bend.
Installation:
1. Screw the cold and hot water inlets (C) into the base of the mixertap (A), use rubber seals (B) to create a water tight seal between the parts. Note: the nuts on the base of the mixertap (A) should be tightened to the inlet legs when they are rotated to give the required center distance.
2. Screw the base plinths (D) over the inlet legs (C) to the end of the threaded section before the bend.
3. Push the seals (E & F) over the inlet legs flush to the underside of the base plinths (D).
4. Place the mixertap (A) onto the sink or worktop and pass the inlet pipes (C) through the tapholes. With the tap in place check that the inlet pipes (C) meet the hot and cold water feeds. If further adjustment to the plumbing is required do this now. The hot water should be connected to the left hand side of the tap when viewed from the front.
5. Fasten the fixing nuts (G) securely onto inlets (C) fixing the tap into its correct location.
6. Connect the inlets (C) to the water supplies using ½” BSP compression fittings or similar.
After Installation:
Once you have visually checked the new fittings and connections, ensure that all taps and drains are closed except the new product which should be left open. Turn on (reconnect) the water supplies, check carefully for leaks around the installation and product function. Once you are sure of no leaks, close the new product and recheck for leaks, turn on the water heating power. Clean and dry the product of any marks from installation then cover the product with the bag provided to protect it until use.
