CUSTOMER GUIDELINES
Guidelines Bathroom Fitting Installation
Pre- Installation
Guidelines bathroom fittings installation must be followed for trouble-free and smooth working of bathroom faucets.
- Planning is essential to prevent leakages and seepages. It’s not expensive fittings, but proper selection of materials and better hands which play a major part in maintaining the bathroom dry and neat.
- Don’t be indifferent while hiring a mason or a plumber. All the methods of threading, packing, jointing and water tightness, etc., need a high degree of skill and process to make the bathroom free of dampness.
- Test the water tightness of the bathroom floor once the shuttering is removed. It is preferable to have a waterproofing treatment to the slab and surrounding wall minimum for a 60cm above the finished floor level.
- Multistoried buildings need special treatment, as the effect of various forces varies as we go up from the ground. Plumbing systems rigidly fixed get damaged with a small movement. Fittings should be done keeping the water hammer effect in mind, which is predominant in buildings more than six-storeys.
- If you are not sure whether a fitting is solid brass, pick it up. It should feel heavier than other units.
- Look for a single-handle faucet or one with lever handles for elderly users or anyone who has trouble turning round knobs. If you opt for round knobs, look for one with rotational limits stops, which take just a Half/Quarter turn to open and close valve inside.
During Installation
Guidelines bathroom fittings installation has been set by the company. These guidelines, when followed ensure optimum and trouble free performance of products for years to come
These guidelines are;
- Use 20 mm pipeline instead of 15mm to ensure better flow water Lay the pipelines strait and vertical as far as possible.
- More than required number of bends throttles the pressure of water. Keep the number of bends in the pipeline to a minimum. All the supply lines must have vent pipes which help in giving us smooth flow of water from the fittings.
- Center to center distance of pipe fittings for to and cold let for all types of wall mounted mixtures should be maintained at 165mm by which any of our wall mixture can be easily installed without any problem
- Place the outlet point in the overhead tank at least 25 mm above the ground level of the tank. This prevents the flow of foreign particles, sand etc., along with water supply into the fittings avoiding the possible damage to the working parts.
- Please strictly follow the instruction manual where ever provided for individual items in their packing boxes for their correct installation and maintenance.
- Only selected items are shown in the catalogues for complete range visit our dealer.
- Test the working of all concealed fittings installed on a high pressure for leakage before plastering or fixing the tiles.
- Clean the overhead tank thoroughly before the supply start as it may cause damage to internal fittings or aerator or both.
- Look for Laurena seal on all Laurena products.
Post - Installation
- Clean the aerators provided in the items at regular intervals for a perfect foam flow of water from the fittings.
- Clean the fittings regularly with normal soap or chalk powder to remove scaling/stains. Do not use strong detergents/hard cleaning agent containing abrasives and acids as this may cause damage to the chromium finish of the products.
- To protect fine finish of the fittings from dirt/strains and other damages, cover them with cloth/poly pack after their installation till they came into actual use.
- Insist on genuine spares from company’s authorized dealer.
