Before fitting the valve, read through the plumbing and wiring instructions.
This product MUST be installed by a competent
person. The installation MUST conform to I.E.E. Regulations and with The Electricity at Work Regulations.
A Class ‘A’ switch (having contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles) must be incorporated in the fixed wiring as a means of disconnecting the supply. The system must be appropriately fused.
Plumbing
The valve MUST NOT be fitted on the return pipework under any circumstances. Flow from the boiler must be connected to port AB, the radiator circuit to port A and the hot water cylinder circuit to port B.
The valve may be plumbed in at any angle but must not be mounted so that the valve head is below the horizontal level of the pipework. In the unlikely event of a leak a safety hazard could result.
Do not grip the valve head while making and tightening up plumbing connections. Attach a spanner (32mm or 11/4" AF) onto the valve body at each port, whilst tightening up the nuts. Tighten compression nuts enough to make a watertight seal.
TAKE CARE NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN.
