Technical Specification
Inlet Connections: All 1/2" BSP
Operating Pressure: 150kPa - 500kPa
For optimum performance hot and cold water pressures should be equal.
AS/NZS 3500 stipulates a 500kPa maximum operating pressure at any outlet
within a building. Where normal pressure exceeds 500kPa, a pressure limiting
valve must be installed.
This sink mixer is rated at 7.5l/m. If limited water flow is experienced, locate
stream shaper flow restricting device and filter washers and clean away foreign
material as required.
Operating Temperature: Recommended hot water supply 50°C, maximum 70°C. AS/NZS 3500 requires all
hot water supplies to any sanitary fitting to be tempered to 50°C.
Ceramic cartridges: The ceramic cartridge can be damaged due to the presence of the following within
the water supply:
Copper tube pieces
Plastic pieces
Sand, dirt or stones
Thread tape
Other objects not normally present in the potable water supplies
Stream Shaper
Base Ring
O-Ring
Hose Requirement for Mixers
