5. Installation
This section provides general guidelines for installing the Parryware Jade Wall Mixer. For optimal performance and to ensure compliance with local plumbing codes, professional installation is highly recommended.
5.1 Before You Begin
- Turn off the main water supply to your bathroom.
- Clear the installation area.
- Gather necessary tools (e.g., wrench, plumber's tape, level, measuring tape, drill).
- Inspect all components for any damage.
5.2 Installation Steps (General)
- Prepare Wall Connections: Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly positioned and spaced according to the mixer's dimensions (refer to Figure 2). The connections should be flush with the finished wall surface.
- Apply Plumber's Tape: Wrap plumber's tape around the threaded ends of the water supply pipes extending from the wall.
- Attach Wall Flanges: Screw the provided wall flanges onto the water supply pipes until they are snug against the wall.
- Connect Mixer Unit: Carefully align the mixer unit with the wall connections. Screw the mixer onto the threaded pipes, ensuring a tight and secure fit. Use a wrench to tighten, but do not overtighten.
- Check for Leaks: Once the mixer is securely installed, slowly turn on the main water supply. Inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are detected, turn off the water supply and re-tighten the connections.
- Test Operation: Test the water flow and temperature control.
6. Operation
The Parryware Jade Wall Mixer 3-in-1 features two control knobs for water flow and temperature, and a diverter for selecting the water outlet.
- Water Flow Control: The two handles control the hot and cold water supply. Turn the handles to adjust the water flow rate.
- Temperature Control: Mix hot and cold water by adjusting both handles to achieve your desired water temperature.
- Diverter Function: The central knob or lever acts as a diverter. Turn or pull this mechanism to switch water flow between the main spout (for bathtub filling), the shower head connection, or the handheld shower connection (if installed).
7. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Parryware Jade Wall Mixer.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or any products containing bleach or acids, 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.
- Leak Checks: Periodically check for any signs of leaks around the connections. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water damage.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your wall mixer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed stopcock; low water pressure in the supply. | Clean the aerator. Ensure stopcocks are fully open. Check household water pressure. |
| Leaking from Spout/Handles | Loose connections; worn washers/cartridges. | Turn off water supply and gently tighten connections. If problem persists, contact a professional plumber for cartridge replacement. |
| Difficulty Adjusting Temperature | Uneven hot/cold water pressure; faulty cartridge. | Ensure balanced water pressure. If not, professional inspection of the cartridge may be required. |
| Diverter Not Working | Debris in diverter mechanism; faulty diverter. | Contact a professional plumber for inspection and repair. |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, or if you are unsure about performing any repair, please contact a qualified plumber or Parryware customer support.
