You’re Guide to the Installation, Care and Maintenance of Swan Range of Bathroom and Kitchen Brassware Wolseley UK Leamington Spa Warwickshire CV313HH www.wolseley.co.uk Before installing this product – Wolseley UK recommend the reading of this document thoroughly and leaving it with the user for future reference. Water Regulations Requirements: It is important to ensure that the water supplies to your taps and mixers are connected in accordance with the water regulations (WRAS) requirements and good plumbing practice. It is Wolseley's recommendation and good plumbing practice that the supplies of hot and cold water to the products should be equal (balanced) pressures in order to provide a consistent flow. Supplies should be from a common source, either mains or tank fed. If supplies are not equal pressures then non return valves should be fitted (not supplied). These products have been designed to function on all types of water systems. Please Note: If a pump is to be installed to boost gravity supplies please refer to the pump manufactures instructions. The hot and cold inlets for any of the products are hot on the left and cold on the right when viewed from the front of the fitting. It is our recommendation and good plumbing practice that a service valve also should be installed upstream in the inlet supply lines. Pipe Connections: IMPORTANT. Before making any inlet pipe connections all supplies MUST be thoroughly flushed to remove any debris. Failure to do so could result in damage or low flow from the fitting. It is a requirement of Byelaw 55 of the Water Fittings Byelaw Scheme that this function is undertaken before making any pipe connections to supplies. General Installation Notes: Care must be taken during installation to prevent any risk of damage to the product or injury to installer. Installation must be carried out by a qualified and competent person and in accordance with the instructions supplied. Installations must comply with all Local and National Water Authority Regulations, and Building/Plumbing Regulations. Ensure that you have read and understood all sections of this manual before installation – in particular conditions for normal use making reference to water supply parameters. Generous flow rates are achieved at pressures as low as 0.1 bar. At high pressures it may be necessary to reduce excessive flow rates by fitting stop or servicing valves in the supply line before the mixer or tap. These stop valves facilitate ease of maintenance should it be necessary. Conditions for normal use: Minimum Operating Static Pressure – hot and cold sides (bar) Minimum Operating Static Pressure – hot and cold sides (bar) Optimum operating pressure Maximum Temperature of Hot 10.0 bar 0.1 bar 0.3 bar 60 ºC Product Installation Instructions: Pillar taps (all models – basin, bath and kitchen) I.
