1. Selecting the Tap Location
NOTE: The drinking water tap should be positioned with function, convenience and
appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow tap base to rest
securely whether fitted directly to your sink or an adjacent worktop
1. Preparing to Fit the Tap
WARNING: Wear safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
Sink Location
The following instructions apply to porcelain-coated cast iron and stainless steel sinks only.
(A) Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal shavings, parts, or tools from
falling down the drain and damaging sink or disposal unit if fitted.
(B) If sink is porcelain-coated, place masking tape over area to be drilled to prevent
excess chipping of the enamel coating. Use a cone-shape grinding wheel to grind
away a 3/4-inch diameter circle of porcelain before drilling
(C) Mark hole with a centre punch. Use a 6mm drill bit for a pilot hole, then using a
12mm diameter bit, drill a hole completely through the sink or worktop. Smooth
rough edges with a round or half round file.
Worktop Location
(D) The tap should be positioned on a work surface adjacent to a sink where
the spout can easily discharge water into the basin.
(E) Using a pencil, mark the work surface to indicate the centre of the tap.
(F) Drill a 1/2" hole where marked on the work surface.
(G) Smooth any rough edges with a round or half round file.
2. Installing the Quarter Turn Tap
(A) Insert the black rubber washer into the base of the tap.
(B) Insert the threaded section of the tap body into the 1/2" hole.
(C) Assemble the washers and lock nut on the threaded section as over.
(D) Tighten the lock nut to prevent the tap moving. Do not over tighten.
(E) Ensure compression nut, ferrule and tube insert are positioned on the blue flexible
tube shown over.
(F) Insert the open end of the blue flexible tube assembly into the base of the threaded
section of the tap.
(G) Tighten the compression nut to ensure a watertight seal. Do not over tighten
3. Installing the Saddle Valve
Before carrying out any installation TURN OFF THE WATER SUPPLY AT
THE MAIN STOP COCK.
• Place the saddle clamp on to the cold mains supply pipe to the kitchen sink. Make
sure that the SADDLE A is in place as shown in the diagram.
• Tighten the locking screw C to clamp the pipe securely.
• Turn the piercing screw B clockwise and fully home to puncture the pipe,
leave in this position.
4. Mounting the Filter System
(A) Taking note of the length of connecting tube available select a suitable position for
the cartridge (normally on the side of the cupboard underneath the sink)
(B) Using the bracket as a guide mark the position of the fixing holes with a pencil.
(C) Drill a small pilot hole for the screw.
(D) Fix the bracket supplied to the side of the cupboard using suitable screw (wood
screw supplied an alternative fixing may be required)
(F) The cartridge can be clipped into the bracket or removed at anytime to help with
remaining installation.
