SPU Mini that any noise is not amplified through loose panels or pipework. 2.21 Flexible hose: Only use the Stuart Turner hose supplied with the SPU Mini. 2.22 Isolating valves: Separate system isolating valves (non-restrictive) must be fitted to allow easy service of the SPU Mini.
3. Outlet manifold - Brass manifold with pressure transducer used to monitor system pressure and connection to the pump(s) 4. Programmable controller - Stuart Turner designed, user set controller, allowing system set up and easy alarm connection. 5. Wall mounting plate - Robust stainless steel wall mounting plate allowing quick, easy installation and removal if needed.
4 INSTALLATION 4.11 Fill valve flow restrictor guidelines: Ensure side entry fill valve is fitted with the correct filter and flow restrictor combination (dependant on the mains water pressure) into the G ½ threaded tail as outlined below: Coloured insert - To be used for water pressure between 1 and 4 bar White insert - The SPU Mini is pre fitted with the white high pressure insert.
