INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Water Supply Recommended Maximum Minimum

Hot Water Temperature

65 C° (~150F) 80 C° (~175F) 15 C° (~60F)

Working Pressure

3 BAR (~45PSI) 5 BAR (~75PSI) 0.5 BAR (~7PSI)

In case of pressures over 5 BAR (~75 PSI), we
recommend to use a pressure reducer.
Before proceeding with the assembly, purge
the hot and cold water pipes so as to avoid the
accumulation of dirt and impurities that could
affect the function of the tap.

FIG. 01

Remove the protection covers (1.A) using a
screwdriver. Use the plug (1.B) if necessary.

FIG. 02

Fit the tap body to the wall with the shower outlet
pointing upwards, connect the hot water supply
to the left inlet and the cold water supply to the
right one.
The depth of the wall niche must correspond (wall
coating included) to the tolerance given by the
MIN/MAX references given on the plastic cover
(2.A).
Once all connections have been carried out,
activate the tap at the working pressure (we
recommend maintaining the water flow for a
few minutes so as to purge the system from any
debris and/or dirt inside the piping). Temporarily
remove the protection cover (2.A) to check if there
are leakages and if the system works regularly,
reinstall the protection cover (2.A) and finish the
external wall surface.

FIG. 03

Remove the protection cover (2.A) as shown in
FIG. 02. With a screwdriver turn the stop cocks
(3.F) clockwise, loosen the fitting screw (3.E)
using the proper wrench and pull out the test plug
(3.D). Install the o-ring (3.C) and the sleeve (3.B)
on the thermostatic body. Use a small quantity of
the special grease included to lightly lubricate the
o-rings of the thermostatic cartridge (3.A). Insert
the cartridge in the tap housing carefully aligning

the positioning hole with the housing of the fitting
screw (3.E), then tighten the latter.
Warning!, Do not force the screw (3.E). Excessive
tightening can affect the correct function of the
system or damage it. The thermostatic cartridge
is equipped with a safety anti-scalding retainer set
at 100°F (38°C). For higher temperatures push
the button on the adjustment handle. In case of
hot or cold water pressure failure, the flow will
automatically stop. With a screwdriver loosen the
stop cocks (3.F) in anti-clockwise direction.

FIG. 04

Remove the protection tape of the adhesive
sponge (4.C) and apply it on the back of the plate
(4.B).
Fit the sliding flat washer (4.A) on the plate (4.B)
and install it on the thermostatic body till it is flush
to the wall.

FIG. 05

To install the handle, follow the instructions given
below: screw the peg (5.E) on the thermostatic
cartridge bar inserting the spacer (5.F) and
assemble the handle (5.A) positioning the ring
(5.D) in between without moving the bar so as to
not compromise the cartridge calibration. Tighten
the grub screw (5.B) and fit the finishing cap (5.C).

FIG. 06

To replace only the handle (6.F) follow the
instructions given below:
Remove the cap (6.E), loosen the grub screw (6.D)
and pull out the handle (6.F).
DO NOT move the cartridge bar (6.M) so as to
not compromise the calibration.
Reassemble the new handle (6.F) and lock it with
the grub screw (6.D), complete by inserting the
cap (6.E).
To replace the thermostatic cartridge (6.M), pull

out the plate (6.B) screw on the stop cocks (6.O)
in clockwise direction using a screwdriver. To
replace the thermostatic cartridge with the handle
(6.C) follow the instructions given below:
remove the grub screw (6.N) and pull out the
thermostatic cartridge with the handle (6.C.).
Fit the new assembly (6.C) into the tap housing
carefully aligning the positioning hole with the
grub screw housing (6.N). Tighten the grub screw
without forcing it so as to avoid malfunctionings
or damages.
To replace only the thermostatic cartridge (6.M),
follow the instructions given below:
remove the grub screw (6.N) and pull out the
thermostatic cartridge with the handle (6.C) from
the body. Remove the cap (6.E) from the assembly,
loosen the grub screw (6.D) and slide off the
handle (6.F). Remove the ring (6.G), the lock nut
(6.H), the peg (6.I) and the spacer (6.L) from the
thermostatic cartridge (6.M).
Install the new thermostatic cartridge (6.M) into
the tap housing carefully aligning the positioning
hole with the grub screw housing (6.N). Tighten
the grub screw without forcing it so as to avoid
malfunctioning or damages.
DO NOT move the bar of the new cartridge (6.M)
so as to not compromise the calibration.
Install the temperature adjustment lock nut (6.H)
as shown and screw on the peg (6.I). Insert the
spacer (6.L) and assemble the handle (6.F) putting
the ring (6.G) in between. Lock it using the grub
screw (6.D) and complete by installing the cap
(6.E).

FIG. 07

The figure shows the tap correctly assembled. Set
the temperature by turning the handle (7.A).

MAINTENANCE OF THE SURFACES

Before cleaning, make sure the tap is cold (heat
wears the surface of the tap down). Do not use
products containing acids or corrosive substances.
Wipe the tap daily with a soft cloth. Do not use
steel wool or metal pads, abrasive sponges or
similar products. Right after cleaning rinse off the
detergent residues with cold water. Damages to
the taps caused by incorrect treatment are not
covered by the warranty.

Once completed the replacement, remove the
stop cocks (6.O) turning them in anti-clockwise
direction using a screwdriver. Reassemble the
plate (6.B) and the flat washer (6.A).
