PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Prior to installing the Sloan ETF-800 Faucet, install the items listed below. Also, refer to the Rough-In.

• When Using Plug-In Transformer — Install electrical receptacle for plug-in transformer (120 VAC, 2 amp
service for each ETF-233 (24 VAC, 35 VA) plug-in transformer used).

• When Using Box Mount Transformer — Install electrical wiring to transformer location (120 VAC, 2 amp
service for each EL-248-40 (24 VAC, 40 VA) transformer used).

• Lavatory/sink

• Drain line

• Hot and cold water supply lines or tempered water supply line

Multiple Faucets

Multiple faucets can be powered by a single transformer, provided that the transformer has been properly
sized. Allow a minimum of 15 VA of current rating for each solenoid valve used. Refer to “Step 7 — Install
Transformer” for further information.

Important:

• INSTALL ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL/LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.

• INSTALL ALL PLUMBING IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE CODES AND REGULATIONS.

• A 24 VAC STEP-DOWN TRANSFORMER MUST BE USED.

• USE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS WHILE CONNECTING TRANSFORMER TO 120 VAC POWER SOURCE.

• DO NOT PLUG TRANSFORMER INTO POWER SOURCE (RECEPTACLE) UNTIL ALL WIRING IS COMPLETED.
ALLOWING 24 VAC TRANSFORMER WIRES TO TOUCH OR SHORT WHILE POWER IS BEING SUPPLIED
WILL CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE TRANSFORMER AND CIRCUIT CONTROL MODULE.

• KEEP THREAD SEALANT OUT OF YOUR WATERWAY TO PREVENT COMPONENT PART DAMAGE! DO NOT
USE ANY SEALANT ON COMPRESSION FITTINGS. FOR THREADED PIPE FITTINGS, DO NOT APPLY
SEALANT TO THE FIRST TWO “STARTER” THREADS.

• FLUSH ALL WATER LINES UNTIL WATER IS CLEAR BEFORE CONNECTING SOLENOID TO SUPPLY STOPS.

• Saw for cutting mounting hole in wall

• Electric drill and standard drill bits

• Straight blade and phillips blade screwdrivers

• Standard open end wrenches

• Basin wrench

• 1/8” hex wrench

• Pipe wrench for installing drain lines

• Pliers
