Pullout taps are space-savers since they replace those three-piece units that crowd the back of a kitchen sink and also because their pull-out feature eliminates separate spray-hose. It has been become more and more popular in the country. Yet it is not so straightforward for installation. We would like to provide a general guide, using Polo Pullout Tap in our eBay store as an example.

Preparation

Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to remove any remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of the tap.

All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage prior to installation. Shut off your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is closed. Open the lowest hot and cold taps in the house and allow the water to run until the cold-water storage tank and pipes are fully empty.

After installation

Once you have visually checked the new fittings and connections, ensure that all taps are closed except the new mixer tap which should be left open. Turn on the water supply at the mains stop cock. As the system starts to refill, check carefully for leaks. Once you are fully satisfied that there are no leaks, turn on the water heating. Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed.
