Components Overview

Before installation, verify that all components are present and undamaged.

Figure 1: This image displays the individual components of the Duravit Design Siphon. It includes the primary T-shaped pipe, two shorter straight pipe segments, and two circular sealing washers. All parts are shown with a reflective chrome finish, indicating their material and aesthetic.

Included Parts:

• Main T-shaped siphon body (Chrome)
• Straight pipe sections (2)
• Sealing washers (2)
• Mounting hardware (screws, anchors - typically included with wall-mount fixtures, though not explicitly listed for siphon)

Note: Faucets and drains are sold separately and are not included with this siphon.

Setup and Installation

This siphon is designed for wall-mount installation. Professional installation is recommended.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Adjustable wrench
• Screwdriver
• Measuring tape
• Level
• Drill (if wall anchors are required)
• Sealant/Plumber's putty (optional, for extra sealing)

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Area: Ensure the water supply is turned off. Clear the area under the sink where the siphon will be installed.
2. Measure Outlet Height: Carefully measure and mark the desired outlet height from the finished floor to the center of the outlet, adhering to the technical specification sheet for your specific basin and plumbing setup.
3. Attach Siphon to Basin Drain: Connect the top opening of the T-shaped siphon body to the basin's drain tailpiece. Use one of the sealing washers to ensure a watertight seal. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
4. Connect Horizontal Pipe: Attach one of the straight pipe sections to the horizontal outlet of the T-shaped siphon body. This pipe will connect to the wall drain.
5. Connect Vertical Pipe (if applicable): If your setup requires a longer vertical drop, attach the second straight pipe section to the bottom of the T-shaped siphon body.
6. Secure to Wall Drain: Connect the horizontal pipe from the siphon to the wall drain pipe. Use the remaining sealing washer to create a tight seal. Ensure the siphon is level before tightening all connections.
7. Test for Leaks: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the water supply to the basin. Fill the basin and then drain it, carefully checking all siphon connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten any leaking connections as needed.

Operating Instructions

The Duravit Design Siphon operates passively as part of your basin's drainage system. No direct user interaction is required for its function.

• Ensure the basin stopper (if applicable) is functioning correctly to allow water to drain when open.
• Avoid pouring harsh chemicals or large debris down the drain, as this can damage the siphon or cause blockages.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and inspection will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Duravit Design Siphon.

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion. Tighten connections if necessary.
• Blockage Removal: If a blockage occurs, first try using a plunger. If the blockage persists, the siphon can be disassembled for cleaning. Turn off the water supply, place a bucket underneath, and carefully loosen the connections to remove any debris. Reassemble and test for leaks.
