INSTALLATION
- Before you start, please verify that you have all the necessary tools available for the installation.
- Close the main straight valve before every kind of intervention.
- It’s crucial to read the instructions before the installation of the product. Drain the inlet pipes before the installation is mandatory, to avoid the presence of metallic burrs or some other dirt.
- In the case of the installation of concealed faucets with an integrated diverter, we recommend doing a test of the hydraulic system of the building without the diverter, to avoid too much stress that could damage it.
TECHNICAL DATA
Conventional faucet:
- Operation pressure: 1 – 10 bar (kg/cm2)
- Recommended operation pressure: 2 – 5 bar (kg/cm2)
- Hot water recommended temperature: 45°C – 65°C
- Maximum hot water temperature: 90°C
- The pressure of hot water should be similar to the pressure of cold water.
Low-pressure faucet (Niederdruck):
- Operation pressure: Max 10 bar (kg/cm2)
- Recommended operation pressure: 5 bar
- During the heating of the boiler, some drops can fall from the spout, due to the expansion of the water inside the boiler. Don’t prevent it. Dropping of the faucet is not a defect of the product but a combination of the characteristics of the faucet and the boiler.
- On the spout, it’s not possible to assemble any other aerator or dispositive different from the one that is assembled on the faucet. Never cork the spout.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning:
- We wish for the final user to enjoy TEKA products for the longest time. To do so, we would like for you to carefully consider the following instructions when cleaning our products to preserve their outstanding surface finishing quality.
- Clean the product with a non-aggressive soapy solution.
- Limestone stains can be avoided by drying the surface after using or washing it.
- After the complete cleaning process, it is suggested to rinse the product using water, to eliminate any detergent.
- To avoid lime obstructions or blockages on the tap’s aerator, we recommend disassembling it periodically and submerging it into a solution of diluted vinegar
- You can use cloths, towels, wipers, and nonabrasive sponges that will not scratch the surface.
- Do not use anti-lime detergents that contain hydrochloric, formic, or acetic acid. They could eliminate the shine and even the superficial chrome surface.
- Do not use detergents based on chlorine, bleach, or bleaching agents. They can cause superficial stains.
- We recommend not using abrasive detergents (for example floor or dishwasher detergents), abrasive utensils, or micro-fibered cloths that can scratch the surfaces.
- The use of detergents with a phosphoric acid base cannot be used routinely.
- Never spray detergent (whatever its nature may be) on the tap itself but on textiles.
- Detergent could enter inside the tap causing mechanical damage.
- Residues from personal cleaning products can cause superficial damage as well.
- Therefore, we recommend rinsing your Teka product using water abundantly.
- On surfaces already damaged, caused by previous cleaning actions, the use of detergents will accelerate the deterioration process.
- Try to use detergents that do not harm the environment.
Cartridge change:
- Close the straight valve and stop the popup waste before starting.
- When you tighten the nut that fixes the cartridge, you have to consider that the torque determines the leakage (if the torque is too weak) and both the comfort and durability (if the torque is too strong) of the system.
We recommend the following tightening values:
Diameter of the cartridge| Minimum torque Nm()| Maximum torque
Nm()
---|---|---
Ø 25 mm| 8| 9
Ø 35 mm| 9| 10
Ø 40 mm| 9| 10
Ø 45 mm| 14| 15
Ø 46 mm| 14| 15
1Nm corresponds to a force of 1 kg applied with a lever of 10 cm
