Read These Warnings First
Safety
Do not allow young children, handicapped or infirm persons, to use the Zip
HydroTap without supervision
Refrigerant
The Zip HydroTap Chilling unit contains 134A refrigerant under pressure. No
part of the unit should be exposed to a naked flame. Maintenance of
refrigeration unit must be carried out by an accredited service provider or
qualified refrigeration mechanic.
Qualifications
If any power cord or plug is damaged it must be repaired only by a
qualified technician.
To avoid hazards, all installation procedures must be carried out by a
suitably qualified tradesperson.
Venting
Sometimes steam and/or boiling water may discharge through the vent at
the rear of the tap shank. If the tap is not installed on a sink, the pipe to
this outlet must be disconnected and plumbed away to a safe location
according to local plumbing bylaws and regulations.
Lifting
Take care when lifting the Zip HydroTap undersink unit. Some units may
exceed safe lifting limits. Do not lift without assistance. The weights of the
units are given in the table under Installation Requirements (page 5).
Airflow
Proper air circulation must be provided. The system will operate
satisfactorily only if the recommended air gaps are provided. If this is not
possible, ventilation slots must be cut into the top AND bottom of the
cupboard door. Make sure that the ventilation grilles of the undersink unit
are not obstructed.
Altitude
At altitudes over 500 metres above sea level, the thermostat temperature
may require adjustment. Contact your Zip Service Provider.
Filter
For models ABC, ABA and ABB only:
The Zip HydroTap filter timer is preset to nine months to provide troublefree flow and operation in most installations. Local water quality conditions
may require an alteration to this time. In areas where the water has a high
concentration of sediment, the preset time may be shortened to avoid poor
flow, taste or odour situations. In areas where the water quality is above
average, lengthening the preset time may be desirable, but not essential.
If any of these changes are needed, contact your Zip Service Provider.

Models covered by these instructions
Before installing ensure that the following have been provided at the
installation site:
• Sufficient space in the cupboard to install the undersink unit in
accordance with these Installation Instructions. A table of dimensions is
given below.
• A water supply connection with isolating valve inside the cupboard
within reach of the 750 mm flexible connection and positioned so that
the connection point and the stop cock will not be obstructed when the
undersink unit is installed.
• A water supply which can deliver 2 litres per minute flow rate at
minimum of 1.5 Bar (150 kPa) flow (dynamic) pressure.
• Power supply connection to the heater via a double pole fused spur with a
minimum break rating of 13 amps.
• Cold water supply with a minimum working pressure of 1.5 bar (150 kPa)
and a maximum working pressure of 10 bar (1000 kPa) connected via an
isolation valve.

In addition to normal tools, the following will be required:
• 13.5 mm diameter sheet metal hole punch
• 35 mm diameter sheet metal hole punch.
Special tools required
Step A - Installing the tap (all models)
Locate the stick-on tap hole mounting template in the accessory envelope
and apply to a flat surface at the left rear corner of the sink. Follow the
instructions on the template.
Make sure that the tap will be able to drain into the sink.
Mark the two hole centres and cut the small hole using a 13.5 mm sheet
metal hole punch
Cut the large hole using a 35-mm sheet metal hole punch.
Install the tap, making sure it is adequately sealed.
To ensure proper sealing, make sure that the tap mounting items are
assembled in the order shown in the Assembly Detail diagram below.
Ensure that the upper plate is properly inserted in the recess on the
bottom of the sealing ring.
Tighten the fixing screws firmly.
