4. From underneath the bath, fit the washers (4) and back nuts (5), then tighten into position.

5. Connect to the water supply, making a watertight seal in the process.

3. Blockage: Check if water is reaching the mixer and inspect the valve, mixer tails, and supply pipes for any blockages.
4. Isolation Valves: Ensure that the isolation valves are fully opened.

Water Not Mixing

1. Hot and Cold Supplies: Balance the pressures of the hot and cold supplies by increasing or decreasing pressures (always maintain the minimum pressure requirement).
2. Blockage: Check if water is reaching the mixer and inspect the valve, mixer tails, and supply pipes for any blockages.

Mixer Not Diverting Correctly (If a Lift and Drop Type Diverter)
