Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Turn off the cold water supply to your home. Gather the necessary tools, including a wrench for the connections and any additional fittings that may be required.
  2. Connection: Unscrew the existing cold water flexible pipe from the main cold water feed. Install the Hommix Feed In Valve between the pipe and the feed using the 1/2" BSP male and female connections.
  3. Filter Connection: Connect your filter system using the 1/4" Push Fit connection. Ensure a firm, secure connection by pushing the tubing into the fitting until it clicks or is firmly seated.
  4. Testing: Slowly turn the cold water supply back on and check for any leaks around the connections.

Compatibility: This valve is designed for use with standard 1/2" BSP connections and 1/4" push-fit tubing. Always check the compatibility of your water filter system or appliance before installation.

Care: Regularly inspect the valve and connections for any signs of wear or leaks. If any issues arise, tighten the connections as needed or replace the valve if damaged. Avoid over-tightening the fittings during installation.
