The outlet of the hand wash acts as a vent and MUST NOT be connected to any form of outlet flow control, or any other fitting not recommended by Santon. DO NOT fit the hand wash to the wall and tile up to the case. It must be fitted on to a finished flat and even wall surface.
PIPE ENTRY Plumbing entry can be from the rear (preferred) or from the bottom. The backplate has a cut out position to suit 15mm pipe. When opting for bottom entry make cut out before fitting backplate to the wall - see Figure 6 below.
PIPE CONNECTION The hand wash has been designed for a 15mm water pipe using the pushfit connection - see Fig. 11, p12. Decide where to connect the cold water mains feed to the hand wash. Ensure that the pipe you have selected is not a gas pipe or a hot water pipe.

5.10 An isolating stopvalve MUST be incorporated to the main water supply to comply with Water Regulations - see Fig. 4 p9. 5.11 Cut all necessary pipework to length with a pipe cutter and not a hacksaw. This will minimise the swarf and prevent damage to the sealing o-ring in the pushfit fitting - see Figure 10 below.
6.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING This appliance must be earthed. CAUTION When working on electrical components ensure they are NOT LIVE. If in any doubt, SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. A double-pole isolating switch having a contact separation of 3mm in each pole MUST be incorporated to the circuit - see Figure 3 p7.
