Installation
Instructions

Diagram 1 shows the various
connections that must be made for
proper installation and operation.
This is only a guide; actual
installation may vary depending on
the particular situation.

Inlet:

A 1-1/2" inlet is provided on the
118-5 Hide-Away Basin System. One
method of hookup is to use a 1-1/2"
PVC MIP adapter or a 1-1/2" PVC
MIP marvel connection (or a similar
type of connection). You may use a
1-1/2" extension tailpiece or 1-1/2"
PVC pipe; it depends on the type of
fittings used on the basin inlet. The
P-Trap should be installed once the
appropriate connections are made on
the basin inlet. Once these fittings are
installed the rest of the piping may be
plumbed.

Hydromatic’s 118-5 Hide-Away
Basin System includes a corrosion­resistant polypropylene tank with a
gasket cover. An inlet strainer is pro­vided in the basin cover above the
inlet. The strainer is sealed and held
in place with the four screws provided.
