INSTALLATION PREPARATION
If major work is done on the home, the water network must be flushed of all impurities to avoid damaging
your mixer.
1. Flush out the inlet pipes well before starting with the installation, this will remove any solid
objects that may block the tap once in use. Install an in-line strainer to prohibit future damage
to the cartridge or blocking of the aerator.
2. Ensure that you have balanced pressure not higher than 3-bar or 300kPa. This can be achieved
by placing a pressure-reducing valve before both the hot and cold take off.
3. Use the correct tools for installation and always place a protective cloth over visible chrome
parts that require spanner tightening.
4. Before dismantling your old unit identify the hot and cold-water lines, then shut off the water
supply. We recommend the use of angle regulating valves on all basin mixers. This helps to
isolate the tap without turning off your entire water supply.
INSTALLING THE SINGLE-LEVER BASIN MIXER
1. Screw the flexi hoses and the threaded posts into the mixer body and tighten by hand.
2. Pick up the mixer and water-tight seal, place the seal on the vanity and insert the hoses into
the mixer hole on the vanity.
3. Place the mixer so that the water-tight seal is in contact with the vanity. Hold the mixer in this
position. Hint: use the hoses to hold the mixer firmly until it is attached.
