NAPOLEON WALL BASIN/BATH MIXER

Important Information

HOT & COLD WATER INLET PRESSURES MUST BE EQUAL.

* Not suitable for gravity feed systems.

Basin outlet is fitted with a flow regulated aerator insert. This

low flow rate may not be suitable for connection to some

Instantaneous Gas Water Heaters, some Tempering Valves,

some Solar Water Heaters & some Thermostatic Mixing Valves.

Check with the manufacturers of these products. Note:- An

aerator insert kit (Part No. SP2001), is available if required.

For applications where flow regulation is not suitable (e.g. bath)

a full flow aerator insert has been provided within the packaging.

To convert the basin outlet to a bath outlet, refer to 'Replacing

Aerator Insert'

The wall outlet must be installed to the left hand side of the

handle (1) (Fig.3).

* Brazed connections should NOT be made directly onto the

mixer, as excessive heat will cause permanent damage.

* All pipework must be thoroughly flushed prior to installation,

as foreign materials may block the flow regulating device and

reduce the flow of water. Note: Aerator insert housing must be

retightened to prevent removal by hand.

Installation

1) Fit suitable fittings to the connection ports of the mixer (9) (Fig.2).

When facing the mixer, the connections should be as follows:

Hot water inlet connection 'H' to the left.

Cold water inlet connection 'C' to the right.

Mixed water outlet connection, vertically upwards.

Note: A suitable elbow fitting (13

) should be fitted to the hot inlet

(Fig. 2). Attach the mixer body (9) & the lugged elbow (12) to the

mounting plate (11) with screws (10) and tighten using a suitable

screw driver.

2)Fit the mounting plate (11) onto a suitable noggin in the wall &

secure using screws through the holes in each corner.

Important :

The mounting plate (11) must be installed horizontal & parallel

to the face of the wall studs to ensure correct installation.

To avoid damaging the decorative finish, do not remove the

protective sleeve until installation has been completed.

Complete the connections. (Fig. 2). Check all connections for

leaks and the mixer for correct operation.

Note: Pipework and fittings are not supplied.
