Installation procedure
Step A - Installing the tap (all models)
1.Make sure that the tap location will allow the nozzle to drain into the sink.
2.Install the 38mm hole in the bench / sink top.
3.Remove the “Spider Clamp” and S/S washer by undoing the 6mm nut located on the “All Thread” at the base of the Tap Head Assembly.
A tube spanner is supplied in your installation kit for this job.
4.Ensure the black plastic spacer remains in place as this is the moisture seal against the bench / sink top. A light smearing of silicon sealant on the underside of the spacer will ensure a watertight fit.
5.Pass all three hoses through the 38mm hole and carefully locate the Head Assembly and black spacer on the bench / sink area.
6.From the underside of the bench / sink area
7.Hold the “All Thread” steady and
NOTE 1: The tap assembly must not be positioned more than 1m above
the HydroTap unit. Failure to do this may result in poor water delivery.
NOTE 2: Under no circumstances should the Tap be twisted after the installation is complete.
