Setup and Installation
Note: Installation should ideally be performed by a qualified professional to ensure proper function and compliance with local plumbing codes. Always ensure the main water supply is turned off before starting installation.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the wall cavity is prepared according to the dimensions provided in the specifications and dimensional drawing. The concealed body requires sufficient depth.
- Install the Concealed Body: Secure the main mixer body within the wall cavity. Ensure it is level and properly aligned with the finished wall surface. Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the designated inlets on the mixer body. Connect the outlet to the shower head or other shower component.
- Test for Leaks: Before closing the wall, turn on the main water supply and carefully check all connections for leaks. Rectify any leaks immediately.
- Install the Escutcheon and Handle: Once the wall is finished, attach the decorative escutcheon (faceplate) over the concealed body. Then, install the single lever handle onto the mixer spindle, securing it according to the provided hardware.
- Final Check: Turn on the water supply completely and test the mixer tap for proper operation, including water flow and temperature control.

- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or any products containing bleach, acids, or alcohol, as these can damage the chrome finish.
