Next place the mounting plate over pipe end and locate over drill holes, secure using screws provided.
Place olive over pipe end and then fit threaded union, tighten using a two spanners one on the flats of the union the other on the flat of the mounting plate.
Tighten until fully secured, to create a compression fitting seal.
Once secured, screw the trim onto the threaded union and screw up to finished wall
(if required sealant can be used)
Place seals into mixer inlets and connect mixer to union and secure using a spanner
(take care not to damage product finish)
Once all connections have been made turn on water supply to check for leaks, ensuring the valve is in the OFF position
