MINIMUM/MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE
These taps are suitable for installations with a minimum operating pressure of 1 bar. They are fitted with a quarter turn ceramic disc cartridge which provides a good flow rate with very smooth movement. The maximum water pressure is 5 bar (note: mains cold water is normally supplied at between 2 and 3bar). For installations where the mains pressure exceeds 5 bar a pressure reducing valve should be fitted.

PREPARATION AND BYELAW REQUIREMENTS
These taps are single flow so the hot and cold water mix in the body. 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.

DETAIL
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 (the hot and cold water mix in the body) 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 mixer 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.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Remember to turn off the mains water supply before connecting to any existing pipe work.
Screw the flexible pipes into the mixer body, and fully hand tighten. Place mixer in position to see if any alteration to the existing supply pipework is necessary. After making any necessary alterations to the pipework, pass the mixer base ring and washer over the flexible pipes and threaded stud to form a seal on sink top. Pass the tails and fixing stud through the hole in the basin from above, and place the mixer in position on the basin. Slide the C-shaped black washer and then the metal retaining plate up the tails and secure screwing the fixing nut finger tight.
Check that the mixer body is correctly positioned to the rear and tighten fixing nut. The tap needs to be fixed firmly but do not over tighten as damage may be caused to the sink. If using copper tails they will need to be gently turned outwards, then supported approximately half-way down and turned inwards, making the two pipes parallel again but further apart thus making room for the couplings to be fitted.
It is recommended that 15mm x15mm compression fittings be used to connect mixer to supply pipes. Hot water should be connected to the left inlet when the tap is viewed from the front.

PRODUCT GUARANTEE
For full details of our guarantee please refer to our website. This guarantee does not cover damage during fitting, misuse or inappropriate cleaning or consumable goods. Care should be taken in hard-water areas to ensure the cartridge is regularly cleaned
CLEANING THE CARTRIDG
The concealed cartridge should give trouble free service, but in the event of any problems, servicing is straight forward.
TO REMOVE CARTRIDGE
NB First shut off the water supply to the tap. With your water supply turned off, carefully remove the cover cap and using a hexagonal key loosen the screw but do not remove. Using a correct size spanner unscrew the retaining nut and remove the cartridge taking note of it’s orientation. Wash the cartridge with clean running water, making sure any trapped debris have been removed. Dry and lightly grease the seal, (only use silicone grease). Replace the cartridge followed by the nut, cover and handle.
CLEANING
The chrome 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 microfibre cloth. Uncoated polished brass and all other living finishes are intended to change over time and are excluded from the finish warranty. 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.
