NOTE: No wall fixing is provided with this product, one can be purchased if required,
the tap is held into position by the pipes, which should be fixed to give rigidity to the

screw nut onto tap tail and tighten or fit nut and olive over pipe end, push pipe into
tap tail and screw nut onto tail and tighten.
3) The products can also be fitted to our bib tap pillars and extensions, one of the
extensions can be used as a wall fitting.
4) To connect the bib tap to these items simply insert a seal into the pillar or
extension and screw the tap on until a seal is formed, again PTFE can be used.
5) If using the wall fitting the wall fitting should be secured to the wall, then the tap
inserted and directed downwards (sealed by PTFE), then the supply pipe connected
to the compression fitting (nut and olive).
If using PTFE, do not over use on the threads, as to much may affect the connection of the nut
to the tap.
