Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your water supply is turned off at the mains. Use the provided brass wall brackets to secure the unit to the wall, checking for alignment with your pipes. Apply appropriate plumber's tape to the threaded connections to ensure a leak-free seal. To maintain the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the plating. Periodically check the connections for any signs of moisture to maintain the integrity of the seal.
