Important Safety Information

•Please read these instructions thoroughly and retain for future use.

•All products manufactured and supplied by Bristan are safe provided they are

installed, used correctly and receive regular maintenance in accordance with these

instructions.

•If you are in any doubt about your ability to install this product safely you must

employ the services of an experienced qualified plumber.

•These fittings need to be installed in accordance with, and meet the requirements of

the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and Scottish Byelaws 2004.

•Remove all packaging and check the fitting for damage before starting installation.

•Warning: Before starting any installation please consider the following: before

drilling into walls, check that there are no hidden electrical wires, cables or water

supply pipes. This can be checked with the aid of an electronic detector.

•If power tools are used do not forget to: - Wear eye protection

- Unplug equipment after use

•Important: Remember to turn off the mains water supply before connecting to any

existing pipe work. Fitting isolating valves to the inlet feeds is recommended for ease

of maintenance.

•Warning: Before installing the new fitting it is essential that you thoroughly flush

through the pipework in order to remove any remaining swarf, solder, etc.

Failure to carry out this procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of

the fitting.

•Take care when handling the ‘flexible connecting pipes’, do not bend, twist or crush

them. Only tighten the pipes by hand.

•Do not crush or kink the shower hose, this could damage the hose and cause leaks.

•Do not operate the shower attachment if the showerhead or shower hose has been

damaged or is blocked.

•Your fitting has a high quality finish and should be treated with care to preserve the

visible surfaces. All surfaces will wear if not cleaned correctly, the only safe way

to clean your fitting is to wipe with a soft damp cloth. Stains can be removed using

washing up liquid. All bath cleaning powders and liquids will damage the surface of

your fitting, even the non-scratch cleaners.

Note: Never use abrasive detergents or disinfectants or those containing alcohol,

hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid.

General Specifications

Operating pressure range: Minimum 0.2 bar, Maximum 5.0 bar.

Maximum static pressure: 10.0 bar.

Note: Nominally equal (balanced) inlet supply pressures are recommended for optimum

performance with mixer taps.

Designed to comply with BS EN 200 for single taps / combination taps and BS EN 817 for

single lever mixers, for water systems of type 1 and 2 general technical specifications

and to be used within systems designed to BS 6700.

BS 6700 recommends the temperature of stored water should never exceed 65°C.

A stored water temperature of 60°C is considered sufficient to meet all normal

requirements and will minimise the build up of lime scale in hard water areas.

If the fitting is installed at low pressure (tank fed), then the minimum distance from the

highest installed position of the outlet to the underside of the cold tank should be at

least 2 metres to ensure adequate performance.

These taps and mixers should be installed in compliance with the Water Regulations.

Where the supplies are unbalanced, i.e. Hot water from cylinder tank / cold from the

mains, approved check valves must be fitted in the supply pipes.

For further details contact your Local Water Authority.

Important: To ensure the tap/mixer fittings are securely fastened to the basin/bath

we recommend the relevant torque setting (table shown below) is applied to the ‘Push-

fit connector’ when tightening to the back nuts.

Installation Requirements

These fittings need to be installed in accordance with the following Installation

Requirements and Notes (IRN) to ensure they meet the requirements of the Water Supply

(Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and the Scottish Byelaws 2004.

IRN R001 (1/2” Basin Taps, 3/4” Bath Taps, Basin Mixer, Bath Filler, Bath Shower Mixer)

See text of entry for Installation Requirements or Notes.

IRN R006 (1/2” Basin Taps, 3/4” Bath Taps, Basin Mixer, Bath Filler)

This tap or combination tap assembly has a Type AUK3 air gap and is therefore for installation

in any premises to protect against a backflow risk up to a Fluid Category 5.

IRN R010 (Basin Mixer, Bath Filler, Bath Shower Mixer)

Water supplies shall be reasonably balanced pressures from a common source (e.g. hot

and cold supplies both from the same storage or both from a supply pipe). Where the fitting

is supplied from unbalanced supplies (e.g. hot and cold supplies from separate sources) a

‘Listed’ single check valve or some other no less effective backflow prevention device shall

be fitted immediately upstream of both hot and cold water inlets.

IRN R040 (Bath Shower Mixer)

The fitting shall be installed so that its outlet discharges above the spill-over level of any fixed

appliance as indicated below:-

For backflow protection in domestic or installations up to, and including, Fluid Category 3.

1. Size of tap or combination fitting. 2. Vertical distance of outlet above

spill-over level.

1. Not exceeding 1/2 in 20mm

2. Exceeding 1/2 in but not exceeding 3/4 in 25mm

3. Exceeding 3/4 in 70mm

If the fitting cannot be installed as indicated in the table it shall be installed:

a) with an approved double check valve assembly or some other no less effective

backflow prevention device immediately upstream of the inlet; or

b) so that it draws water by gravity only from a cistern, or cylinder having a permanently

open vent pipe, and the distributing pipe supplies no other fitting (other than draining

tap) at a lower level.

For backflow protection in premises or installations up to, and including Fluid Category 5.

The vertical distance of the outlet above the spill-over level shall be no less than 20mm or

twice the diameter of the inlet pipe to the fitting, which ever is the greater. If the fitting cannot

be installed as indicated it shall be installed with a backflow prevention arrangement suitable

for the Fluid Category.

Installation Requirements

Flexible Connecting Pipes

Care must be taken when connecting the

flexible connection pipes to the household

pipework to ensure they do not bend sharply

and kink or twist.

The Integral Isolation Valves

The integral isolation valves must be

accessible with a suitable flatblade

screwdriver for turning on and for future

servicing purposes.

See below for recommended ways to fit the

flexible connecting pipes.

See below for the off and on positions of the

isolation valves.

Before installation

Flush through the pipework to ensure

removal of debris. Turn off mains water

supply and close any isolating valves.

1. Attach push-fit connectors

Place the ‘push-fit connectors’ into the

holes in the basin top, ensure the rubber

‘O’ ring is fitted to the underside.

Position the ‘back nuts’ under the basin

(with rubber seal on top), ensuring the

locating pin fits into the cut-out in the

back nuts. Tighten by turning the 10mm

hexagonal key clockwise, once threading

has started you can let go of the back nuts.

Important: The push-fit connectors

must be fully tightened to the back nuts

before attaching the flexible connecting

pipes.

2. Attach flexible connecting pipes

Important: Before connecting the

flexible connecting pipes, please refer to

the specific installation requirements on

page 6.

Carefully screw the ‘flexible connecting

pipes’ into the ‘push-fit connectors’ and

turn the integral isolation valves to the

'closed' position as shown on page 6.

Important: Only tighten the flexible

connecting pipes by hand. Do not

overtighten.

Connect the flexible connecting pipes to

the household water supply pipes.

3. Cover cap

If required place the cover caps over the

push-fit connectors until the tap body is

ready to be fitted.

screws at the rear of the body using the

long end of the 2.5mm hexagonal key as

shown below until finger tight. Remove

the hexagonal key and insert the short

end into the grub screw and tighten an

extra ¾ to 1 complete turn more to ensure

the tap body is securely tightened to the

push-fit connector.

Important: The fitting must be

securely attached to the base.
