Overview

2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The Mondella Maestro Cross Handle Tap Sets are a collection of plumbing fixtures designed for various applications within a home, including basins, walls, baths, showers, washing machines, and sinks. These sets feature a classic cross-handle design, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional control over water flow and temperature.

Function Description

The primary function of these tap sets is to control the flow and temperature of water for different plumbing outlets. Each set is tailored for a specific application:

• Mondella Maestro Cross Handle Basin Set (5002377): This set is designed for basin installations, typically in bathrooms. It allows users to control hot and cold water for washing hands and other basin-related tasks. The assembly involves connecting a T-Piece to the basin bodies, securing the spout, and installing the cross handles and buttons. An aerator is included in the spout to regulate water flow and reduce splashing.

• Mondella Maestro Cross Handle Wall Top Assembly (5002381): This versatile assembly serves as a base for wall-mounted tapware. It controls water flow from wall outlets, often used in showers or baths where the tap controls are separate from the main fixture. The assembly involves installing spindle assemblies with ceramic discs into the wall bodies, followed by flanges, cross handles, and buttons.

• Mondella Maestro Cross Handle Bath Set (5002378): Specifically designed for bath installations, this set provides hot and cold water control for filling a bathtub. It utilizes the Wall Top Assembly for the handles and valves, with an additional bath spout that screws into a threaded nipple in the wall. The spout is designed to be positioned vertically for optimal water delivery into the bath.

• Mondella Maestro Cross Handle Shower Set (5002379): This set is intended for shower installations, controlling water flow and temperature for the showerhead. Similar to the bath set, it incorporates the Wall Top Assembly for the handles and valves, with a shower arm and head that screw into a threaded nipple in the wall. A red water-saving device is integrated into the showerhead inlet to promote water conservation.

• Mondella Maestro Cross Handle W/Machine Set (5002380): This set is designed for washing machine connections, providing hot and cold water supply to the appliance. It consists of washing machine cocks that screw into threaded nipples in the wall, with chrome back plates, handles, and buttons for control. The cocks are positioned vertically for proper connection.

• Mondella Maestro Cross Handle Wall Sink Set (5002376): This set is for wall-mounted sink installations, commonly found in kitchens or laundries. It controls hot and cold water for sink use. It uses the Wall Top Assembly for the handles and valves, with a sink spout that screws into a threaded nipple in the wall. The spout includes an aerator to regulate water flow and reduce splashing.

Usage Features

The Mondella Maestro Cross Handle Tap Sets are designed for straightforward installation and user-friendly operation.

• Installation Flexibility: Many sets, particularly the basin and wall-mounted ones, offer flexibility in installation. For instance, the basin set allows for cutting the T-Piece ends to the correct size and adjusting bottom lock nuts to suit the bench level. The wall-mounted sets require careful positioning of the ceramic disc valves and tightening with a shifting spanner for optimal performance.
• Secure Fastening: The tap sets utilize various fastening mechanisms, including lock nuts, plastic back nuts, and threaded connections, to ensure secure installation and prevent leaks. Flanges are threaded onto spindle locking nuts, and cross handles slot onto spindles, which are then secured by threading hot and cold buttons.
• Spout Positioning: For bath, shower, and sink sets, the spouts are designed to be screwed into position, with an emphasis on achieving the desired vertical orientation for effective water delivery. Users are advised not to overtighten to allow for precise alignment.
• Aerator Functionality: Basin and sink spouts include aerators, which are crucial for regulating water flow, reducing splashing, and often incorporating water-reducing flow devices to conserve water.
• Water Line Connections: The basin bodies are designed to connect to hot and cold water lines. For flexible connectors, the bottom nuts and nylon olive fitted to the basin bodies may not be required, simplifying the connection process.
• Initial Flushing: Before regular use, it is recommended to remove the aerator from the spout and turn on the taps to flush out any filings or debris from the pipes. This ensures clean water delivery and prevents potential blockages or damage to the aerator.
• Leak Checks: After installation, a thorough check for leaks above and below the bench level or at wall connections is essential to ensure proper sealing and prevent water damage.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance is key to preserving the appearance and functionality of the Mondella Maestro Cross Handle Tap Sets.

• Cleaning Guidelines: The tapware should be cleaned with a soft dry cloth or a soft cloth dampened with warm soapy water. This method effectively removes surface dust and maintains the finish without causing damage.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: It is crucial to avoid using harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or acetone silicones, as these can scratch the surface finish and cause irreversible damage.
• No Wax-Based Creams: Wax-based furniture creams should not be used on the tapware, as they can lead to a buildup of deposits that detract from the product's appearance.
• Gentle Wiping: When cleaning, users should apply gentle pressure and wipe in one direction only to prevent scratching or marring the surface.
• Silicone Sealant Option: For added sealing and to prevent water ingress, silicone sealant can be used around flanges and spout bases where they meet the benchtop or wall. This is an optional step that can enhance the longevity and watertight integrity of the installation.
• Professional Installation Recommendation: To ensure compliance with Australian Standards and proper functionality, it is recommended that all tapware be installed by a licensed plumber. This also helps in adhering to warranty and service agreements.
