APPLICATIONS OF
THE BRITONY FLEXIFLUE
The appliance is designed to serve a variety of hot water
draw off points including washing machines and showers.
The appliance can be connected to all hot water draw-off
points in the installation. If more than one outlet is open
simultaneously
the total flow of water cannot exceed
that quoted in the Technical Data.
The appliance is comptatible
with most current automatic
washing machines but care should be taken to ensure
that the machine is capable of accepting water at the de-
sign flow of the appliance. Hot and cold fill machines nor-
mally require a hot water temperature
of 60 "C (140 "F),
the
appliance
producing
approximately
6.5 I/min
(1.44gpm)
at this temperature.
The advice of the was-
hing machine manufacturers
should be sought but gene-
rally it is only necessary to remove the water flow restric-
tor (if fitted) in the hot water inlet connection of the ma-
chine to obtain a satisfactory
appliance operation.
4.1
Pipework
Do not use the appliance with push on hand showers that
fit over existing hot and cold water taps or with mixer
taps unless both supplies come from the same source.
Showers forming part of bath mixers are not recommen-
ded for satisfactory
operation of the appliance.
The following notes are for general guidance only.
0) The appliance performance
may be affected
if the
installation has old pipework forming
dead-legs or air
reservoirs. Always ensure that any old pipework is ei-
ther removed or capped off immediately
adjacent to
the pipework that will be in use.
(ii) The size of the pipework between the appliance and the
various draw-off points should be sized to ensure an ade-
quate flow at all draw-off points when used individually.
(iii) A check should be made of all stop cocks in the inco-
ming supply and it should be ensured that they are of
the fixed jumper pattern. Loose jumpers can be pin-
ned or soldered into position.

HOT
The appliance
can be used to supply hot water to a
separate shower draw-off, The appliance
should not be
used to supply more than one shower mixing valve. The
recommended
pipework arrangement
for a single shower
head is shown above and the hot supply to the mixing valve
should be the first draw off. Suitable shower mixing valves
