Care and Maintenance
In order to ensure proper func�on over the life�me of the tap, smoothly
operate the handle and pull-out hand shower during use. When installing
do not over �ghten the locking nut. Regularly clean the tap with a so�,
damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and strong chemicals.
Notes
All pipework must be thoroughly flushed prior to installa�on as foreign
materials may block the flow .
1.
Aerator and the flow control can be removed with standard tool and
cleaned.
2.
If a screen-filter is fi�ed into the tap, remove it and flush the pipes
and tap to remove grit. Then re-insert the screen.
3.
Working Specifica�ons
Working pressure: 20-100 psi
Working temperature: 1-60°C
This tap must be installed in accordance with the AS/NZS 3500 series
standard. All Abey taps are stongly recommended to be installed by
a licensed plumber. Improper installa�on may void the warranty.
Insert the tap into the countertop and ensure
the O-ring (18) is secure in the groove of the
tap body. Then slide the washers (20 and 21)
onto the threaded body of the tap followed by
the nut (22) in the order shown in the diagram.
Tighten the nut (22) by hand and ensure the tap
is correctly aligned above the countertop.
Step 3
Locate a hole centre in the countertop at least
50mm from the wall and with enough clearance
to the rim/flange of the sink. Dim. A >50mm(2”)
and Dim. B >50mm (2”) . If you need to locate the
tap within these dimensions, you should ensure
enough clearance for the moun�ng washers and
nut (20,21,22). Cut a hole 35 to 40mm diameter
into the countertop .

Step 1
A�ach the hoses (31) to the connec�on tube
(23,24) and �ghten firmly. Do not use thread
tape, as the water-�ght seal is provided by
O-rings. Do not over �ghten.
Note: Use the hose with RED braid-strands
for the hot water connec�on. Connect hot
water to the rigid pipe with red marking.

The washer (30) zip-�ed to the pull out hose (33)
must be placed inside the female housing of the
connec�on tube – pull out hose (25) before the
pull out hose (33) is inserted and screwed into
place. Tighten pull out hose (33) into connec�on
tube (25) with a small spanner. Do not use thread
tape.

Flush the wall valves to ensure no grit enters
the tap. Now a�ach the hoses to the wall
valves ensuring the hose with RED braid
a�aches to the hot water outlet.

Fit the weight onto the hose using the 2 screws
provided. Posi�on the weight about 40mm(1.5”)
above the bo�om of the hose (33) loop. This will
ensure maximum extension and retract.
Step 5
Test the tap flow and mix func�ons, and
hose pull-out. If the tap is fi�ed with dual
spray/stream you should also ensure this is
working properly. If any grit etc has entered
the tap you can easily remove the
aerator(1) and clean/rea�ach.
Step 7
Troubleshoo�ng
1. If water is leaking from the connec�on tube joints (23,24,25) you should re�ghten
the flexible hoses (31) and pull-out hose (33) and check that the washer (30) is in
place. It is possible that these connec�ons have loosened when the flexible hoses
are �ghtened to the wall valves or the washer was not installed.
3. If the water stream is uneven it is possible that debris or grit has blocked the
aerator. You can remove the �p of the spout and backflush the aerator. Firmly
re�ghten the retaining nut.
4. If the tap is lose or rota�ng at the base as it enters the countertop you should
re�ghten the nut (22) ensuring the handle lever assembly is correctly posi�oned.
5. If the spout (4) is loose at the connec�on to the body (10) you may need to gently
�ghten the small grub screw (9). Do not over �ghten the grub screw or the spout
will not rotate.
2. If the pull-out hose (33) is catching or not retrac�ng fully, you should ensure that
the weight (32) is located just above the bo�om of the loop. Also ensure the
weight/hose are not catching on items in the cabinet.
