Blue thing in Ideal Standard tap pack

[Duh]

Hi

Just been delivered new Ideal Standard taps, and on checking the contents realised that there's a blue thing in each tap pack - which we have no idea of how to use. No instructions, nothing.

It's sort of square blue plasticy composite, with irregular bites around the edges, and a sort of almost circle cut out of the middle! Wondered if it may be a spare... ceramic device?

Anyone come across this before? Can you help identify this thing, and how to use it?

Ta Guys.

Are they anything to be swapped on the fitting depending on whether the tap is for hot or cold ?

Or even the mounting washer

Yeah please post a photo.

Take it they are CD taps? The internal of CD taps are a weird shape, but dont think they would every supply a spare set.

You've valued this post too highly, you've not provided an appropriate installation plan, nor have you done any research. For that reason I'm out too.

The pic is on my forum page, titled Blue tap part - you can't miss it, it's the latest one.

I wonder if it is a thing to prevent the mixer going to "fully hot" and creating a scald risk

I think you should ask the manufacturer

after you have read the instructions again

Maybe a picture or a link to the taps in question might help.

Looks like a key to remove something or else it's the missing piece from my jigsaw that I lost 6 weeks ago
