- Accidental drilling of concealed pipes or cables during marking out and cutting.
- Risk of scalding from hot water when testing without purging or without controlling the flow.

Safe use
- Check the box is compatible with the tap model and wall type before starting the installation.
- Shut off the water supply and relieve the pressure in the pipes before dismantling or connecting any component.
- Locate services and cables with a detector before drilling or chasing to avoid unintentional damage.
- Mark and cut the opening with suitable tools, keeping the box level and without forcing the fixings or the threads.
- Protect the inside of the box with its cover or plugs during building works to prevent dust and mortar ingress.
- Seal the perimeter and penetrations with materials suitable for wet areas, keeping the inspection access operational.
- Before closing the wall surface, carry out a leak test and check for any weeping or drips.
- Wear gloves and safety glasses when cutting, drilling or handling edges and parts.
Storage and maintenance
- Store the box and its accessories in its packaging, in a dry, ventilated place, avoiding impacts and deformation.
