position.
Details of the recommended positions for
termination of the first fix pipework are
provided in section the Technical Data section.
The pipework can be located or its position
checked using the template provided with
each appliance. If these have been followed
installation is very simple and much quicker
than any other system.
The appliance is supplied shrink wrapped on a
timber installation base. Carrying handles are
also provided in the back of the casing.
The two feed and expansion cisterns complete
with ballvalve and overflow/warning fitting
are provided in a separate box. If manifold sets
have been ordered these will also be provided
separately.
The appliance should be handled carefully

The appliance can then be lifted into position in
the cupboard on top of the base and the front
panel removed by unscrewing the 2 screws and
lifting the door up and out, ready for connection
of the pipework and electrical supplies. The feed
and expansion cistern support shall be installed
ensuring that the base is fully supported, the
working head of the appliance is not exceeded
and the recommended access is provided for
maintenance - see the Technical Data section.
Note: Although the above guidance is provided
any manual handling/lifting operations will
need to comply with the requirements of the
Manual Handling Operations Regulations
issued by the H.S.E. See Appendix D for further
details.
The appliance can be moved using a sack truck
on the rear face although care should be taken
and the route should be even.
In apartment buildings containing a number
of storeys we would recommend that the
appliances are moved vertically in a mechanical
lift.
If it is proposed to use a crane expert advice
should be obtained regarding the need for
slings, lifting beams etc.
