Tap installation

Important Technical Data

Minimum operating pressure (hot): 0.5 bar| Minimum operating pressure (cold): 1.5 bar
---|---
Maximum operating pressure: 5.5 bar| Maximum domestic hot water temperature: 70°C
Flow characteristics: Domestic Hot, Cold & filtered cold share outer single flow spout.
Boiled filtered water: Through centre spout channel.| Recommended domestic hot water Temperature:  46°C

⚠*If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for short periods, damage can result. In these instances, a thermostatic mixing or pressure reducing valve should be installed.
⚠ This product is manufactured in accordance with recognised European standards. Please ensure that your kitchen mixer is fitted in accordance with Local Water Byelaws. Where hot and cold water mix within the tap, then suitable non return (check) valves should be installed to both the hot and cold supplies to prevent backflow, a preinstalled non return valve on the cold supply flexi hose (F1) is already supplied (see instructions key).
**** Hot and cold supply pressures should be as closely balanced as possible for best results. Supply pipes should maintain the maximum diameter until immediately before the fitting. The differential between the hot and cold water supply temperatures should be sufficient to allow correct mixing function.
⚠These installation guidelines have been prepared for your direction and you must exercise due care at all times. We do not accept responsibility for problems that may occur through improper installation. Whilst assembling the tap take care not to accidentally loosen any factory fixed assemblies.
This tap has been 100% assembly tested; therefore you may expect a small residual amount of water to remain in the tap when delivered. Any water marks can be removed using the care advice.

Installation Preparation

You must install the mixertap and filter before the boiler.
A Before installing the new mixer 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 mixertap or boiler.
we recommend installing particle fitters {not shown) and isolation valves (G1) to both the hat and cold feed pipes in an accessible position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any future maintenance.
Ensure you have suitable domestic hot and cold water pressure before installing this product (see technical data).
All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage and completeness prior to installation.
Loosely position the tap, pipes and other principal supply components to check if any alterations to the existing supply pipework is required, if this is the case do this now.
Shut off your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is closed. Open the lowest hot and cold taps in the house and allow the water to run until fully stopped.
if replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the end of the feed pipes using wire wool, the tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant.
This mixertap requires a 35mm tap hole, as both handles rotate backwards and forwards you should allow for this space behind the tap when planning the tap hole location.
Drins tap is designed to be installed in a worktop with a maximum thickness of 45mm.

9. Pass the lower gasket (A6) then the metal horseshoe (A7) over the fixing stud (A8). Note: only if the tap is to be fitted to a stainless steel sink then the white triangular plate (A5) can be fitted where shown to improve the stability of the tap.

10. Using a 13mm box spanner or small adjustable spanner tighten fixing nut (A9) onto the fixing stud (A8).

11.  Screw pushfit (B3) into brass adaptor (B2) and pushfit (C3) into brass adaptor (C2)
    **** We recommend using PTFE tape (do not use sealing compound) on the thread of the pushfit fittings to make a good seal without applying excessive force (which may damage the plastic pushfit if overtightened).

12. Screw pushfit (B3) and adaptor (B2) into the filtered cold out flexible hose (B1).

13.  Screw pushfit (C3) and adaptor (C2) into the filtered cold in flexible hose (C1).

14. Connect the domestic hot water flexible hose (E1) to the hot water isolation valve (G1) using a section of 15mm pipe (G4) and compression nuts (G3) and olives (G2).

15. Arrange and install the domestic cold in isolation valve (G1) and a stub of 15mm pipe (G4) using 15mm compression nut (G3) and olive (G2).

16. Fix the ½” x ½” x 3/4” isolating tee valve (G7) to the cold water feed pipe (G4) using 15mm compression nut (G5) and olive (G6). Ensure to arrange the blue lever on the Tee so it is easily accessible for your customer.
    **** If your customer has a water softener installed you must attach the isolating Tee valve (G7) to an unsoftened cold water source, the cold water in flexible hose (F1) can however connect to either a softened or unsoftened water source.

17. Connect the domestic cold in flexible hose (F1) to the %” x %” x 3/4” isolating tee valve (G7) using 15mm compression nut (G5), olive (G6) and a section of 15mm pipe (F5).

18. Screw the %” BSP x %” pushfit (C9) onto the three-way valve (G7) %” male output.

Install the Filter:

1. Find a suitable place to mount the filter cartridge (C7) under the sink, It must be mounted vertically, easily accessible (to be changed periodically), away from any heat source or electrical connections and close enough not to exceed the available length of the %” plastic pipe (B4,C4,C8) supplied to reach the between the tap, filter and boiler (place the boiler temporarily to help judge the required lengths of %” plastic pipe).

2. Using the self-tapping screw (C6) securely fix the filter bracket (CS) to the cabinet wall.

3. write the installation date onto the filter label in permanent pen.

4. Clip the filter cartridge (C7) into the bracket (C5) as shown.
   ****You must respect the direction of flow as indicated on the filter cartridge (C7).

5. Measure and then cut required length of %” pipe (C4) to connect pushfit (C3) to the filter cartridge (C7) outlet, allow a small amount of extra length to make it easier to change the filter.

7. Measure and then cut required length of %” pipe (C8) to connect pushfit (C9) to the filter cartridge (C7) inlet, allow a small amount of extra length to make it easier to change the filter.

8. Firmly push connect the %” pipe (C8) between pushfit (C9) and filter cartridge inlet (C7).

9. Firmly push connect the remaining %” pipe (B4) into pushfit (B3).

After Installation

1. Ensure that the isolating Tee valve (G7) is in the closed position as shown.
2. Close (turn off) both handles on the tap.
3. Reconnect the domestic hot and cold water supplies and open hot and cold isolation valves (G1). As the system starts to refill, check carefully all new water connections for leaks. After the product installation is complete we recommend you recheck for any  slower leaks. A It is normal for new filter cartridges to lose a small amount of loose carbon when first used and will dissipate with flushing, whilst harmless to consume if the carbon particles are not flushed prior to connection to the boiler they may partly block the boiler and reduce the flow rate. You must flush the filter for at least 2 litres with cold water or until the water become clear (without black carbon particles).
4. Ensure that the isolating Tee valve (G7) is in the open position as shown.
5. Place the %” pipe (B4) from the tap into a bowl or bucket.
6. Turn on the 98°C forwards handle fully, keep the lever open until all air is expelled and cold (filtered) water exits the %” pipe (B4) into the bowl, flush a minimum of a further 2 litres of cold (filtered) water through the %” pipe (B4). You may notice a discolouration to the water at first, this is loose carbon particles from the filter it is normal, harmless and will pass with flushing. Continue to flush the filter until the water runs clear. Once complete turn off the 98°C handle.
7. You can adjust the flow rate of the filtered water going to both the tap and boiler by adjusting the position of the blue lever on the isolating Tee valve (G7), you should aim for approximately 1-2 litres for both cold filtered and boiled filtered water.
8. Please refer to ‘PROBOIL.2X User & Installation Guide’ for the next steps on how to install the boiler and connect the tap and filter.
