Setup and Installation
This section outlines the steps for installing your wall-mounted washbasin mixer. Professional installation is recommended.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the wall is structurally sound and capable of supporting the faucet. Confirm that hot and cold water supply lines are correctly positioned and accessible. The recommended rough-in dimensions for the water connections (G1/2) and the spout reach are critical for proper function and aesthetics. Refer to the technical drawing for precise measurements, including the 204 mm spout reach and the 132.8 mm center-to-center distance for the wall mounts.
- Shut Off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your property and turn it off completely. Open nearby faucets to drain any remaining water from the pipes.
- Install the Rough-in Body (if applicable): If your mixer includes a separate rough-in body, install it according to its specific instructions, ensuring it is level and securely fastened within the wall. The G1/2 connections should be correctly oriented.
- Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the mixer. Use appropriate plumbing tape or sealant on threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal. The technical drawing indicates G1/2 connections.
- Mount the Faucet Body: Secure the faucet body to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure it is level and firmly attached. The design features a single lever for operation.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Carefully inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are detected, shut off the water supply, tighten the connections, and re-test.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Ideal Standard washbasin mixer.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, bleach, or other harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator at the end of the spout may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator, clean any debris, and rinse it before reattaching.
Troubleshooting
