INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1

INTRODUCTION

Please read these instructions carefully and keep in a safe place for future reference.

General Installation Requirements.

The installation must comply with regulations of the Local Water Authority as contained in their bylaws. All of the taps in this range are single flow and should therefore be supplied with hot and cold water at balanced pressures, both from the tank or both from the mains

(via a combination boiler for example). If the taps are not supplied at balanced pressures then the basin taps will not function correctly. It will also be necessary to fit non-return valves on both hot and cold feeds. It is very important that all pipework is flushed thoroughly after installation to avoid damaging the ceramic discs.

Minimum/Maximum working pressure

These taps are suitable for high and low pressure installations They are fitted with a half turn ceramic disc cartridge which provides a good flow rate with very smooth movement.

To ensure that the basin taps works adequately under low pressure, the cold water storage tank should be at least 2 metres above the highest installed position. The maximum water pressure is 6 bar (note: mains cold water is normally supplied at between 2 and 3bar). For installations where the mains pressure exceeds 6 bar a pressure reducing valve should be fitted.

The tap is fitted with a flow straightener for use in low pressure installations. If your water is supplied at high pressure you may prefer to change the nozzle to an aerator.

Approvals

All products are manufactured using materials tested and approved under the Water Bylaws

Scheme and comply with requirements of British Standard 5412:1996 where applicable.

Preparation and byelaw requirements

Water byelaws require that where the hot water is supplied from a tank and cold from the mains, non return valves are fitted on both hot and cold pipes as close as possible to the tap.

These are not supplied. Where combination boilers are fitted it is only necessary to shut off the incoming mains and turn the boiler off and non return valves are not required.

WARNING

Before installing the new basin taps it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to remove any remaining swarf, solder or other impurities.

Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause problems or damage to the working of the taps.

These hints have been prepared for your guidance, you must exercise due care at all times.

We do not accept responsibility for any problems that may occur through incorrect installation.

INSTALLATION

First shut off your water heating system then, with your mains stop cock closed, open the lowest hot and cold taps in the house and allow to run until the cold storage tank and pipes are empty (the hot water storage cylinder always remains full).

Fitting isolating valves to the inlet feeds is recommended for ease of maintenance.

INSTALLATION

Flush through the supply pipes in order to remove any remaining swarf,

cause problems or damage to the working of the tap.

Identify the hot tap and position into the basin on the left hand side, from the underside of the basin fit the rubber washer and then the nut.

Making sure the tap is in the right position tighten the nut to secure the tap to the basin.

NOTE-DO NOT over tighten the nut as this might damage the basin.

Repeat this procedure for the cold tap on the right hand side.

Finally connect the supply pipes to the taps. (hot on the left and cold on the right).

ATTENTION

Having first checked all new connections, turn on the mains stop cock, close all taps except the new taps and as the system starts to refill check for leaks.

Once you have satisfied yourself that there are no leaks, switch on the water heating.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE CARTRIDGE

Before carrying out any maintenance please remember to turn OFF all mains water and turn ON the isolating valves.

To remove the cartridge.

With the hexagonal key loosen the grub screw, but do not remove it pull off the handle and then remove the cartridge taking note of its orientation.

Wash the cartridge with clean running water and make sure that any trapped debris has been removed. Dry and lightly grease the seals (only use silicone grease) and replace the cartridge followed by the handle.

CLEANING

The chrome and gold plate we use on our taps is very durable, nevertheless care should be taken when cleaning them. They should be cleaned only with warm soapy water followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth. All finishes are vulnerable to acid attack and some strong substances such as household cleaners, disinfectants, denture cleaners, hair dyes, wine making and photographic chemicals can cause the surface to go black or peel.
