How to use

Turn off the water supply and drain the relevant circuit before beginning work. Remove any existing decorative covers and disconnect the existing connection as required. Fit the extension pipe onto the supply outlet or valve using the appropriate threaded or push-fit joint, ensuring a secure and watertight connection according to the type of joint employed. Tighten to the manufacturer's recommended torque and restore decorative trims or escutcheons. After installation, open the water supply and check for leaks at the connection points. If a sealing material such as PTFE tape or appropriate seals are required for the joint type, apply them following standard plumbing practice.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible fittings and follow local plumbing codes. Verify connection type and thread compatibility before installation. If unsure about joint type or sealing, consult installation instructions for the fixture or a qualified plumber to ensure a reliable, watertight installation.
