Installation
Note: The images shown are for illustrative purposes only. The tap you have purchased may look different to those pictured but will follow the same installation steps.
Your contents page will be specific to your product. If you find your product or any of its components differ from those shown, please contact customer support.
-
Step 1
Look underneath the tap body to observe fixing kit rod(s) and tail inlet positions. Depending on the model, the tap will utilise 1 or 2 fixing kit rods. Refer to contents page.
Diagram: An illustration showing the underside of a tap body, highlighting holes for the fixing kit rod and flexible tails. It indicates that some models may use one or two fixing rods.
-
Step 2
Screw the fixing kit rod(s) into the base of the tap. Screw in the flexible tails by hand only. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Your model may come with a plinth and will either be included pre-attached or loose in the box*.
Diagram: Shows the fixing kit rod being screwed into the tap base and flexible tails being hand-tightened. It also depicts a plinth and rubber seal.
-
Step 2*
If required, thread the flexible tails and fixing kit rods through the plinth and rubber seal (if loose) and align with tap body.
Look for any grub screw holes on the plinth as these may be required to fix it to the tap body (these can be located underneath the rubber seal).
-
Step 3
Thread the flexible tails and fixing kit rods through the basin hole. If the hole is not large enough for both tail ends to fit through, unscrew one of the flexible tails and screw back in from underneath the basin.
Diagram: Illustrates the flexible tails and fixing rod passing through a hole in a basin.

Step 4
From underneath the basin, slide the fixing rod(s) through the rubber gasket first and then the metal c plate. Align the gasket and c plate, then begin tightening the nut up the rod towards the basin until secure.
Diagram: Shows the components being assembled underneath the basin, including a rubber gasket and a metal 'c' plate, with a nut being tightened onto the fixing rod.

Step 5
Connect the hot and cold water supplies to the flexible tails and turn until tight. Hot on the left, cold on the right.

Your taps or shower should be regularly cleaned with warm water, a mild pH-neutral liquid soap, and polished with a soft cloth. Any residues from soap, toothpaste, shampoos and shower gels can cause blemishes if not rinsed off straight after use.
