CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Your product is designed to give you years of trouble-free performance.
  • Regular and routine cleaning will reduce the need for intensive cleaning or polishing since they may tarnish the finish of your product and void the warranty.

  • Then, you can use a mild non-acidic, non-abrasive liquid detergent or non-abrasive polish.
  • Once the faucet is clean, rinse it with clean water to remove all traces of detergent or polisher and dry it with a soft cotton cloth.

INSTALLATION TIPS

  • Cover your workspace to avoid damaging it or losing parts.
  • First tighten the union nuts manually. Then, use a wrench to hold the fitting and a second wrench to tighten the nut an additional quarter turn. Too tight fittings will reduce system integrity.

Cartridge maintenance

  • Apply plumbing grease to the O-rings before replacing the cartridge.

Installation Instructions

  1. The valve must be installed so that the cutting guide is flush with the ceramic. Leave the cutting guide template and the protector of parts #22a in place during installation to avoid damaging the finish of the valve.
  2. Protection against water hammer is necessary.akuaplus-DUAL-4501TV-Mixing-Valve-And-Shower-Post-FIG-6
  3. Open the water supply for at least one minute to remove air and dirt trapped in the piping.
  4. For copper, we recommend a compression fitting but if you weld, REMOVE the spare parts before soldering.
