Installation Instructions (refer to diagrams on next page)
To disassemble the stop tap assembly, unscrew the lever arm from the handle cap. Loosen but do not remove the grub screw from the handle cap. Pull the handle cap off the stop tap assembly. Unscrew the faceplate from the stop tap body.
Connect a lug nipple (the end with the smaller diameter opening) into each side of the stop tap body using thread tape or other sealing material. Ensure that the sealing material does not enter any waterways and that the bases of the lug nipples are perpendicular to the axis of the stop tap body.
Place the stop tap assembly into position in the wall cavity. The distance from the base of the lug nipples to the outside face of the wall lining must be between 48 minimum to 53mm maximum (distances based on wall lining thickness of 13mm, maximum wall lining thickness 18mm). Fix the assembly to the mounting timber.
Connect the pipes to the stop tap assembly, taking note of the direction of flow arrow. The lugged nipples have ½” BSP Crox connections.
Install the finished wall lining. A 35mm diameter hole is required in the finished wall lining.
Optional: load and screw on a rubber seal, a steel washer and a brass nut (in that order) to each of the faucet end bodies protruding from the wall lining. Screw on the brass nut so the rubber seal seals the body against the wall lining.
Screw the faceplate back onto the stop tap body until it is hard up against the wall lining.
Push the handle cap onto the CD spindle packer. Note the orientation of the handle in relation to the position of the stop tap lever when it is turned on and off. This can be set to suit user preference. Tighten the grub screw to lock the handle cap in position.
Screw the lever arm onto the grub screw and tighten (by hand).
