Installation Instructions

Install the Filter

The filter (A) should be mounted as close as
possible to the front of the cupboard, to allow for
ready and easy access during filter changes.

1. Usually the side of the cupboard, near the
door, is most suitable.

2. Using the two screws provided, screw the
filter head to the inside of the cupboard, allowing
260mm minimum between the underside of the
filtration head and any obstructions like shelves,
etc.

model you have may appear slightly different to
that illustrated, however, operation and function
is identical.

quarter turn to the right until it stops and locks into position, see Filter Replacement section on page 5.

5. Check that the direction of flow on the filter head is correct.

Installation Instructions

Install the Filter Mixer Tap

1. Position the Filter Mixer Tap at the back of the sink where there
is a mimium 45 mm wide flat area. Make sure the selected position
allows the spout to overhang the sink bowl.

The cutout size is 35 mm. Mark the centre of the new filter mixer tap
position on the sink with a centre punch.

Fig.3

2. Drill out the centre of the hole to allow the screw of a sheet metal
punch to pass through the sink. Use a 35 mm sheet metal hole
punch to neatly open up the hole.

3. Remove the nut and washer from the base of the Filter Mixer Tap,
and pass the hoses through the sink until the Filter Mixer Tap sits
upright within the hole you just created in the sink surround. When
fitting to a thin work surface use the white plastic stabilising clamp
supplied, to improve the support of the tap.

4. Orientate the Filter Mixer Tap so that the activating levers are
parallel to the wall of the kitchen. Slide on the washer and nut from
beneath the sink, and tighten the nut to secure the Filter Mixer Tap
firmly into place.

5. One blue braided and one red braided hose hangs from the bottom
of the Filter Mixer Tap. The blue braided hose connects to the tee
piece, which is connected to the mains isolation valve for cold water,
see Fig.3. The red braided hose connects to the mains isolation valve for
hot water.

6. Screw the brass connector with JG fitting into the remaning outlet
on the bottom of the mixer tap.

7. Connect one of the stem ended braided hose from the PLV valve to
the inlet of the filter head, see Fig.4.

8. Connect the other stem ended braided hose from the outlet of the
filter head to the straight JG connector at the bottom of the Filter Mixer
Tap (see Fig.3 & Fig.4).

Take care, when bending braided hoses, to prevent it from kinking
or crushing on a bend. Please be careful to ensure the colour and
connection of the braided hoses on the Filter Mixer Tap are correct.

Do not connect the hoses in any other arrangement than that described
here. The filter cartridge and the Filter Mixer Tap have directional
flow connections that will not work if connected incorrectly. Incorrect
installation will void any product warranty.

NOTE: the flow direction of the filter housing is indicated on the filter
housing, see Fig.4.
