4. Installation Guide
This section provides general steps for installing the Hansatwist Bath Fitting. Professional installation is recommended.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off the main water supply. Ensure the wall connections for hot and cold water are clean and ready for the S-connections.
- Install S-connections: Screw the S-connections into the wall outlets, ensuring they are level and at the correct distance apart for the mixer. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape for a watertight seal.
- Attach the Mixer: Place the sealing washers onto the S-connections. Carefully align the mixer with the S-connections and tighten the nuts securely. Do not overtighten.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any signs of leakage. Tighten connections slightly if necessary.
- Test Operation: Test the hot and cold water flow, as well as the diverter function.
5. Operation
The Hansatwist Bath Fitting is designed for intuitive use:
- Water Flow and Temperature Control: The single lever controls both water flow and temperature. Moving the lever up increases flow, and moving it down decreases flow. Moving the lever left provides hot water, and moving it right provides cold water.
- Diverter Function (Bath/Shower): To switch from bath spout to shower, pull up the small knob located on the top of the main body. The diverter will automatically reset to the bath spout position when the water is turned off.
6. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Hansatwist Bath Fitting:
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome fixtures.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaners containing alcohol, ammonia, bleach, or phosphoric acid, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and rinse it before reattaching.
