Fitting The Unit To The Wall; Plumbing Connections - Triton TW10i Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

TW10i

FITTING THE UNIT TO THE WALL

Fig. 6
Refer to figure 2 for correct siting of the unit.
Avoid long pipe runs between the heater and the
tap as this will affect the available outlet
temperature.
THE UNIT MUST BE MOUNTED IN THE
HORIZONTAL POSITION ONLY WITH THE WATER
CONNECTIONS AT THE BOTTOM.
Procedure: Remove the cover trimplate (fig.6) by
using a thin bladed screwdriver and gently prise
out. Insert a screwdriver (fig.7) and remove the
retaining screw, then lift off the cover. Entry
position for the mains water is at the bottom only.
Electrical supplies are at the top or at the rear of
the unit. If top entry is required for cable entry, a
hole will need to be cut out of the cover (fig.8).

Using the backplate as a template, mark the two
wall fixing holes. Drill and plug to suit the fixing
screws supplied. Offer the unit to the wall and
screw to the wall. DO NOT fully tighten the screws
at this stage, as the fixing holes are elongated to
allow for out of square adjustment after the
plumbing connections have been completed.
NOTE: The heater must be mounted as near
to horizontal as possible to ensure fault free
operation.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Do not use jointing compounds on
any pipe fittings for the installation.
DO NOT use soldered fittings within the
vicinity of the heater unit.
DO NOT install a non-return valve in the
supply pipework.
NOTE: An additional stopvalve (complying with
Fig. 8
Water Byelaws) MUST be fitted in the mains water
supply to the heater as an independent means of
isolating the water supply should maintenance or
servicing be necessary. Important: Before
completing the connection of the water supply to
the inlet of the unit, flush out the pipework to
remove all swarf and system debris. This can be
achieved by connecting a hose to the pipework
and turning on the mains water supply long
enough to clear the debris to waste.
