MAY VOID THE WARRANTY.
Installation must comply with Section 5.4 of AS/NZS 3500 Standard with regard to Isolating stop-cock use. Shower
mixers must be water tested with the outlet open, to prevent damage to cartridge seals; due to back pressure.
All pipe work must be flushed prior to the installation of this mixer, accessible inline filters must be installed in the
pipework for both the hot and cold inlet supply to prevent particles from damaging the ceramic cartridge.
Back Flow Prevention: Where back flow prevention is required, install our Back Flow Prevention Valve at the supply

Install as supplied.
Important note: Only slide showers that are equipped with a large internal bore hose and open flow single
function handset will work effectively with this shower mixer. We recommend this mixer be used with a
Le Tap Slide Shower (LTSV) for optimum performance. If the cold pressure difference is greater than 10/1 ratio
(i.e. 400kPa cold and 35kPa hot), we recommend installing a needle valve (not supplied) preferably directly to
the cold water feed port on the shower mixer or alternatively anywhere on the cold feedline pipe.
Prior to installation, remove the valve inserts from both inlets.
