INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Turn the spout and body so the tap is facing forwards, the screw on the spout indicates the rear of the body. The hot water connection should be on the left of the tap.
• Ensure the hot and cold pipes are thoroughly flushed to remove any debris.
• A 26mm hole is required in either the sink or worktop.
• The fixing bolt must be screwed into the tap base, ensuring the threads of the bolt are not damaged in the process.
• Pass the nylon washer over the fixing bolt flush to the bottom of the tap base, then pass the bolt through the sink or worktop (ensuring the nylon washer remains directly under the tap base).
• Pass the rubber washer and then the metal washer (on the underside of the sink/worktop) over the fixing bolt and fix using the fixing nut.
• Screw the flexi-tail pipes into the base of the tap, ensuring the pipes threads are not damaged in the process. If the flexi-tails are already inserted into the tap base, please ensure these are screwed in tightly to prevent any leaks.
• Finally connect the flexi-tail pipes to the hot and cold supplies ensuring they are connected to the correct supplies.

CARE OF YOUR TAPS

• Only clean your taps with soap or mild liquid detergent and clean water then dry using a soft cloth
• Do not use chemical cleaners, or bleach based solutions to clean your tap, contact could affect the finish of your tap.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, liquids, powders or pads. These will damage the finish of your tap and void the guarantee.
• Provided all of the above points are adhered to the surface finish of your Caple Tap is guaranteed for 5 years.

PRE INSTALLATION CHECKS

• The temperature of the hot water supply must not exceed 70^ C.
• Water pressure requirements: minimum required pressure varies dependent on model, maximum pressure 5 bar.
• Always seek advice from a qualified installer to ensure your installation and water supply to your taps comply with the water regulation (WRAS) requirements and good plumbing practice.
• It is good practice to ensure that both hot and cold water supplies to your tap are of an equal pressure to provide a consistent flow. If supplies are not of equal pressure then a non return valve should be fitted on the hot inlet.
• Supplies of water should be from a common source (mains or tank fed).
• We recommend that a service valve is installed in the supply lines to the tap to enable water isolation if required.

POST INSTALLATION POINTS

• We suggest when connecting screw connections that PTFE tape is used before the joints are fully tightened.
• Before use correctly check the installation for leaks, and turn the hot and cold water on to thoroughly flush any small particles that may have been dislodged during the tap installation.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INTENDED AS A GUIDE, IF IN ANY DOUBT ENSURE YOU SEEK ADVICE FROM A CERTIFIED PLUMBER.
