INSTALLATION – VENT PIPE
6.1
The VENT connection from the Aquatap water heating unit is located on the top rear
of the unit (see fig. 1, page 4). It is a hose spigot to which the flexible VENT
hose of the dispensing tap is attached. Refer to section 7.0 INSTALLATION –
DISPENSING TAP MOUNTING below & section 8.0 INSTALLATION - DISPENSING TAP
CONNECTION, page 12 for full details of how to mount and connect the dispensing tap
to the water heating unit.
6.2
The VENT will ensure that any excess steam or pressure is safely vented to
atmosphere in the event of a fault with the unit. IT MUST NOT BE BLOCKED,
OBSTRUCTED, DISCONNECTED OR REMOVED AND MUST BE VERTICAL WITH A
CONTINUOUS RISE.

INSTALLATION – DISPENSING TAP MOUNTING
7.1
The dispensing tap supplied is suitable for mounting onto a worktop or counter surface.
It should be positioned such that it discharges into a sink or drip tray (see fig. 6, page 11
for tap dimensions). A purpose designed drip tray is available as an accessory (order
product code 95970138). If this is used, then the instructions supplied with the drip tray
accessory should be followed.
7.2
Cut a 35mm diameter hole in the position selected through the worktop or counter
surface or use the template provided if using the drip tray. Note: Do not mount the
dispenser directly onto a stainless steel sink.
7.3
Screw the 6mm x 60mm stud into the base of the dispensing tap and connect the flexible
hoses to the dispenser tap with the clips provided.
7.4
Ensure the sealing washer provided is correctly located on the base of the tap. A light
application of clear silicon sealant on the base of the tap and the sealing washer will
help ensure a watertight fit between the tap base and the worktop.
7.5
Feed the flexible hoses and the dispenser control cable through the hole in the worktop
from the top and position the tap base onto the worktop.
7.6
From the underside of the worktop fit the "C" clamp over the threaded securing post
and slide up so it sits against the underside of the worktop. The "arms" of the "C" clamp
should enclose the flexible hoses and dispenser tap cable.
7.7
Thread the securing nut onto the securing post and finger tighten onto the "C" clamp.
If necessary adjust the position of the dispenser tap and then tighten the securing nut
using the box spanner provided.
7.8
Make sure all pipe work is bonded and the earthing clamps conform to BS 951 and
contain a label which states "SAFETY ELECTRICAL CONNECTION - DO NOT
REMOVE".
7.9
If required because of space issues cut the pipes (at the base of the tap) to an apropriate
length making sure that they are free from burrs and clean.
