Specifications

Maximum static pressure- 10.0 bar

NOTE:- Nominally equal (balanced) inlet supply pressures are recommended for optimum performance of mixer taps.
Designed to comply with BS EN 200 for single taps/ combination taps for water systems of type 1 and 2 general technical specifications, and to be used within systems designed to BS 6700. BS 6700 recommends the temperature of stored water should never exceed 65° C. A stored water temperature of 60° C is considered sufficient to meet all nominal requirements and will minimize the build-up of limescale in hard water areas.

Wall Outlet
There are two methods of fixing the wall outlet depending on the type of wall.
A. With rear access once the wall is finished:
Remove the brass backnut from the threaded tail, insert the wall outlet through a 25-30mm hole in the wall, and secure with backnut.
TIP: Use a thin line of silicone-based sealant around the back edge of the concealing plate to create a tight water seal. Connect the wall outlet assembly to the shower valve outlet (connection not supplied).
B. Without rear access once the wall is finished:
Fit a wall plate elbow’ (not supplied) within the wall cavity and plumb in from the shower valve. Screw the threaded connecting tube (3) into thewall plate elbow’ using a suitable thread sealant. The threaded connecting tube thread (3) must protrude from the finished wall by 5-15mm. Once the wall has been finished the wall outlet (4) and washer (2) can be fitted to the threaded connecting tube, using a suitable thread sealant.
NOTE: The backnut (1) is not required

Maintenance

General Cleaning
Your fitting has a high-quality finish and should be treated with care to preserve the visible surfaces. All finishes will wear if not cleaned correctly. The only safe way to clean your product is to wipe it with a soft damp cloth. Stains can be removed using washing-up liquid. All bathroom cleaning products (powders and liquids) will damage the surface of your fitting, even the non-scratch cleaners.
Note: Never use abrasive detergents or disinfectants or those containing alcohol, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid.
Cleaning the Showerhead: CLR WMBSM C
Your Bristan showerhead has rub-clean nozzles for easy cleaning. Simply rub your fingers across the rubber spray jets regularly and before you turn the shower on to remove any scale or debris. The hardness of the water in your area will determine how often you should clean your showerhead. The build-up of scale in particularly hard water areas combined with constant use means you may need to clean your showerhead once a week. To ensure continued performance the showerhead needs to be regularly descaled.
Tip: If the showerhead is heavily scaled or has not to been maintained for a long period of time a solution of hot water and white vinegar may be needed to clear the scale. Mix a 50/50 solution and rub the nozzles thoroughly with the solution making sure the solution gets into all of the nozzles. Wash off the solution with clean water.

Maintenance Cont.
Cleaning the Cartridge
If your fitting begins to leak the following should be carried: Isolate both hot and cold water supplies to the tap by either:

• Turning the water supply off at the mains stopcock or
• Turning off the isolation valves to the tap.

1. Remove the grub screw, located at the rear of the handle using a hexagonal key.
2. Remove the handle by pulling upwards from the spacer; proceed to remove the spacer and shroud.
3. Using a suitable spanner remove the retaining nut to gain access to the cartridge.
4. Lift out the cartridge and clean it thoroughly. Be sure to check and clean out the seating within the tap body.
5. If necessary replace the cartridge.
6. Place the cartridge into the tap body and tighten the retaining nut fully using a suitable spanner.
7. Replace Shroud, spacer, and handle ensuring to refit grub screw.
8. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
