PLUMBERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important Information
* HOT & COLD WATER INLET PRESSURES MUST BE EQUAL.
Not suitable for gravity feed systems.
*
Adaptor (17) is fitted with a flow regulator. 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. For applications
where flow regulation is not suitable (e.g. bath), the flow
regulator should be removed. To convert the basin outlet to
a bath outlet, the flow regulator can be accessed by referring
to the flow regulator servicing instructions (Fig.5)
+
To ensure the wall elbow (11
) is mounted accurately, a plastic
*
template (15) is supplied to assist with installation. (Fig.6)
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.
Installation
1)
Determine if outlet (12) is to be positioned to the right or the left of
the mixer body (8) when installed (Fig 2.). Fit mixer body (8) onto a
suitable mounting plate or noggin in the wall and secure using
screws through the holes in its base. Note: Fit the cover plate (9) to
the mixer body (8) and level off one edge before fixing the body in
position. 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 (10
) should be fitted to the inlet
connection adjacent to the outlet (12) (Fig.2). Check all connections
for leaks.
Important :
Mixer body (8) must be installed square to wall/tile face, to ensure
*
cover plate (9) sits flush.
To avoid damaging the decorative finish, do not remove the
*
protective sleeve until installation has been completed.
Note: If the outlet (12) is required to be on the left of the mixer
*
body (8) when installed, remove screw (12a) with 2mm allen key
(14) and fit into opposite hole in outlet (12).
2) Connect the outlet of mixer body (8) to the inlet of wall elbow
+
(11
) using suitable pipework. Note: Pipework and fittings are
not supplied. Fit the large hole of the template (15) over the
protective sleeve of the mixer body with the G1/2B outlet thread
of the wall elbow (11+) located in the remaining hole as shown
in Fig. 6. Note:- The flat face of the template (15) must be at the
back. Place a spirit level on the corner pegs at the top of the
template (15), then when the alignment is horizontal fix the wall
elbow using suitable screws through the holes in its base.
Remove template (15) & discard.
CONTURA - WALL BASIN/BATH MIXER
WATER EFFICIENT TAPWARE
Pressure & Temperature Requirements.
Hot and cold water inlet pressures should be equal.
Static Inlet pressure range : 150 -1000 kPa
New Regulation :-500 kPa maximum static pressure
at any outlet within a building.
(Ref. AS/NZS 3500.1-2003, Clause 3.3.4)
Maximum hot water temperature : 80 C.
The installing plumber is responsible for waterproofing
all penetrations for Taps in Shower areas at installation
by a proprietary flange system or a sealant.
(Ref AS3740-2010, Clause 3.10)
3)
When completing the installation, after sheeting/tiling, remove
protection sleeve from mixer body (9) and discard. Check that
the end of the G1/2B outlet thread of the wall elbow (11
8 2mm from the finished wall/tile face. Cut to length if required.
Apply thread tape to the thread of wall elbow (11
Important: Care must be taken that thread tape cannot become
dislodged and block the flow regulating device, causing a
reduction in water flow. Screw adaptor (17) onto wall elbow (11
taking care that face 'X' of adaptor (17) is flush to 1mm below the
finished wall/tile face. (Fig. 5). Apply suitable lubricant to 'O'Rings
on adaptor (17). If the flow regulator is not required, it should be
removed now (Ref. 'Servicing the Flow Regulator').
4)
Apply a suitable clear sealant to the back edge of the cover
plate (9), leaving an unsealed section at the bottom for drainage.
After making sure seal (9a) is in place as shown in Fig. 1 carefully
fit the cover plate (9) onto the mixer body (8). Push the cover
plate (9) firmly against the wall/tile face and engage the smaller
hole in the plate with the spigot on adaptor (17). Wipe/clean
excess sealant from the chrome surfaces & the wall/tile face.
(See Fig. 1 & Fig.5).
5) Install the wall outlet (12) onto the spigot of adaptor (17),
ensuring grub screw (12a) is engaged with guide hole in cover
plate (5) (Fig.4), then push it firmly against the cover plate (5)
while tightening grub screws (13) using the 2mm allen key (14).
6)
Fit handle (1) taking care that it is pushed fully onto cartridge
stem, then tighten grub screw (2) using the 2.5mm allen key (3).
Fit plug (4), taking care not to damage the decorative finish.
7)
Turn on Hot and Cold water supplies and check operation.
