INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Select a position on the hot water cylinder away from any immersion heater port as water drawn from
around an immersion heater could be aerated.

2. Mark the centre point of the proposed hole approx. 60 mm below the cylinder seam and cut a 75 mm
square out of the insulating material.

3. Lower the water level in the cylinder to a point below the position of the proposed hole.

4. Using the Template supplied mark out the centre-point of the hole and a circle 60 mm dia.

5. Using the shell cutter supplied cut a hole using the marked centre-point (38 mm dia.). Clean away any
burrs from the cut edge and remove any limescale deposits from the inside face of the cylinder to ensure a
clean sealing face.

6. Remove Nut and Washers from Flange Assembly (1). Manipulate the Flange Assembly (1) through the
hole cut in the cylinder by holing at an angle and rotating. Check that flange tube does not interfere with
the immersion heater coil and if necessary reduce length of tube.

7. Open up the gap in the Split Washer (2) and slide onto the Flange Assembly (1). Feed slit end through
cylinder wall and rotate to position on inside of cylinder. Locate over threaded section of flange and pull
Flange Assembly (1) up against inside wall of cylinder to close gap in washer.

8. Now slide Sealing Washer (3) onto flange and feed through hole to position on threaded section of Flange
Assembly (1).

9. Fit second Sealing Washer (4) on Clamp Washer (5) over flange and push up against cylinder wall.

tighten. DO NOT APPLY SEALANT TO SEALING WASHER.

11. Ensure that the RED DOT on the Flange Assembly (1) is positioned upper-most and that the assembly is
central within the circle marked on the cylinder. Lightly tighten Nut (6) to clamp up assembly. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN.

12. Adjust length of protruding pipework if required and complete pipework ensuring that isolating valve is fitted.
When using compression fittings ensure that the Flange Assembly (1) is gripped to avoid rotating. Close
valve, re-fill system and check for leaks. If necessary tighten Nut (6) to achieve seal.
