Step 3: Installing the Control Unit and Hoses
The control unit is typically mounted below the sink. Specific dimensions are provided for placement: 300 mm from the wall, 115 mm spacing between components, and 30 mm from the edge of the mounting surface. Flexible hoses for hot and cold water are connected to the unit and the faucet body.

The diagrams show specific hose lengths (e.g., 1200 mm, 110 mm, 120 mm, 150 mm) and connection sizes (19 mm, UK: 23 mm). Warning symbols highlight potential issues with connections or clearances (e.g., Rmax ≥ 50 mm).
