Fixing to the wall
Undo the retaining nuts and take the front cover off the unit. Hold the backplate in position against the wall while you mark the four fixing holes.
Drill the holes and fix the unit to the wall using the four No 8 x 38mm wood screws supplied.
Plumbing the unit
In some cases it may be worth fitting a second unit.
If the unit is to supply more than one basin outlet, the head should be the same at each outlet if they are to be used at the same time. If not, one outlet will take all the water.
When the pipework has been plumbed on, flush it through with water before you connect the unit, to remove any swarf or loose particles.
Warning
- Do not use a non-return valve in the inlet feed to the unit.
- Do not fit the unit within 2 metres of a stop valve.
Fitting the pipes
The unit should be connected directly to the main cold water supply.
Connecting the unit to the pipes
The inlet and outlet are clearly marked on the unit. They each have a
3
/8" NPT
connector.
Tw o
3
/8" NPT x 15mm adapters are included with the unit to attach it to the inlet and outlet pipes. (Model 45-793270: See addendum sheet for local installation requirements).
We recommend that you use 15mm copper or stainless steel pipe for the inlet and outlet connections. (See addendum sheet for local installation requirements).
Use PTFE tape for making screw joints. Do NOT use a jointing compound.
Remember to keep the hot water pipe runs as short as possible.
The unit comes with a service valve (diagram 6) which should be fitted on the inlet of the unit. You can do this using the inlet adaptor provided. The valve can be used to turn off the water supply to the unit if it needs servicing, or to reduce the main supply pressure if it is too high.
