Hansgrohe Faucets: Installation and Technical Guide
This guide provides essential information for the installation and use of Hansgrohe Metris Classic, Metris S, and Talis S2 faucet series.
Safety Instructions
Adherence to safety guidelines is crucial during installation and use.
- Always wear protective gloves during installation to prevent crushing and cutting injuries.
- The product is intended solely for bathing, hygiene, and body cleansing purposes.
- Ensure that pressure differences between cold and hot water connections are balanced.
Installation Instructions
Proper installation ensures optimal performance and longevity.
- The fitting must be installed, flushed, and tested according to current norms and regulations.
- If issues arise with instantaneous water heaters or if a higher water flow is desired, the EcoSmart® (flow limiter) located behind the aerator can be removed.
- Hansgrohe mixers are compatible with hydraulic and thermically controlled continuous flow water heaters, provided the flow pressure is at least 0.15 MPa.
Technical Data
Key specifications for Hansgrohe faucets equipped with EcoSmart® (flow limiter):
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Operating Pressure | max. 1 MPa |
| Recommended Operating Pressure | 0.1 - 0.5 MPa |
| Test Pressure | 1.6 MPa |
| Pressure Conversion | (1 MPa = 10 bar = 147 PSI) |
| Hot Water Temperature | max. 80°C |
| Recommended Hot Water Temperature | 65°C |
Symbol Descriptions
Understanding the symbols used throughout the documentation:
- Hot Water Limiter (38° symbol): For single-lever mixers, refer to page 33 for adjustment details. This feature is not necessary when using an instantaneous water heater.
- Silicone Use: Do not use silicone containing acetic acid.
- Dimensions: Detailed measurements are provided on page 34.
- Flow Diagram: Page 34 illustrates flow rates with (① EcoSmart®) and without (② EcoSmart®) the flow limiter.
- Spare Parts: Refer to page 36 for identification of replacement parts.
- Operation: Usage instructions can be found on page 35.
- Cleaning: Consult the accompanying brochure for cleaning guidance.

Installation Steps Overview
The document includes comprehensive visual step-by-step instructions (pages 31-33) for the assembly process. These steps generally involve:
- Mounting the main body and connecting water supply lines.
- Installing internal components such as cartridges, seals, and the EcoSmart® limiter.
- Attaching the spout and operating handle.
- Adjusting the hot water limiter as needed (referencing page 33 for specific settings).
- Ensuring all connections are secure and leak-free.
Flow Rate Diagram Explanation
Page 34 features a flow rate diagram that plots water flow (Q) against pressure. Curve ① illustrates the flow rate with the EcoSmart® feature active, showing a regulated, lower flow. Curve ② depicts the flow rate without EcoSmart®, indicating a higher, unregulated flow.
