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.

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.

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.
