codes and regulations.
PIPE INSTALLATION
The pipe layout is designed using the PipeIQ software package. Refer to the
Comprehensive Instruction Manual to design the pipe network. All pipe must
be installed in accordance with local and national codes and regulations. The
pipe network should be complete before proceeding with the physical and
electrical system installation.
PHYSICAL UNIT INSTALLATION
Make sure that there are no pipes or electrical wires within the wall before
drilling any mounting holes
SECURING THE MOUNTING BRACKET
The typical mounting location for the FAAST XS unit is on the wall. The unit is
mounted to the wall using the enclosed mounting bracket. Figure 1 shows the
wall mounting bracket. For easier access to the FAAST XS unit, it is preferred
to position the mounting bracket in an easily accessible location.
1. Place the mounting bracket on the wall in the desired location and use
it as a template to locate the necessary mounting holes.
2. Mark the hole locations and remove the bracket. It is recommended to
secure the bracket using both mounting holes.
3. Using a drill and the proper size bit for your mounting hardware, drill
the necessary holes.
4. Use appropriate fasteners to accommodate the mounting surface and
FAAST XS device weight.
5. Secure the bracket to the wall.
