INSTALLATION
THE INSTALLER MUST ENSURE:
• THE SEAL AROUND THE RECESSING HOUSING IS WATERPROOF TO PREVENT ANY INGRESS
OF WATER;
• ANY WATER ACCIDENTALLY ENTERING THE RECESSING HOUSING (E.G. CONDENSATION,
RUN OFF, LEAKS, ETC.) HAS AN EXTERNAL DRAINAGE POINT TO PREVENT ANY STAGNATION;
• THE INTEGRITY OF THE SEALS BETWEEN THE STAINLESS STEEL WALL PLATE AND THE WALL
OR THE WALL PLATE AND THE MIXER/TAP/VALVE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR, AND MAKE GOOD
IF NECESSARY.
If this advice is not followed, water may leak into the wall.
DELABIE cannot be held responsible for any ingress.

MAINTENANCE
Water discharge from the vacuum breaker:
Check flush tube is not fully inserted up to the WC pan and check flush tube radius is at 50mm.
No flush:
Dynamic pressure is too weak, pipework sizing is incorrect, or flush tube curve is 90°.
BEWARE: DO NOT grease the inside of the mechanism.
REMEMBER
• Our valves must be installed by professional installers in accordance with current regulations
and recommendations in your country, and the specifications of the fluid engineer.
• Sizing the pipes correctly will avoid problems of flow rate, pressure loss and water hammer
(see calculation table in our brochure and online at www.delabie.com).
• Protect the installation with filters, water hammer absorbers and pressure reducers to reduce
the frequency of maintenance (recommended pressure from 1 to 5 bar maximum).
• Install stopcocks close to the valve to facilitate maintenance.
• The pipework, filters, non-return valves, stopcocks, bib taps, cartridge and all sanitary fittings should
be checked at least once a year, and more frequently if necessary.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
• Cleaning chrome, aluminium and stainless steel: do not use abrasive, chlorine or any other acid-
based cleaning products. Clean with mild soapy water using a cloth or a sponge.
• Frost protection: drain the pipes and operate the valve several times to drain any remaining water.
In the event of prolonged exposure to frost, we recommend taking the mechanisms apart and storing
them indoors.
