PRE - INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
-
INSTALLATION COMPLIANCE: Galvin Specialised products must be installed in accordance with these
installation instructions and in accordance with AS/NZS 3500, the PCA and your local regulatory requirements.
Water and/or electrical supply conditions must also comply to the applicable national and/or state standards. Failing
to comply with these provisions shall void the product warranty and may affect the performance of the product.
(Refer supplied installation compliance sheet with the product).
-
Pipe sizing shall comply with AS/NZS 3500.1 and shall be hydraulically calculated.
-
Before proceeding with installation first check the solenoid valve supplied is suitable for the site water pressure
and conditions. If your water pressure is outside the stated range, please contact Galvin Specialised.
-
Ensure all supply lines are flushed thoroughly to remove debris prior to the installation of this product. A line
strainer is supplied to protect the solenoid valve from debris.
-
We recommended a pressure reduction valve may be required to comply with recommended maximum supply
pressure.
-
Ensure that access to the push button, solenoid valve and transformer/GPO is available for future maintenance
when installing the components. It is recommended that isolating valves be installed upstream to the solenoid
valve to allow for servicing. All wiring must be able to be removed when installed into cavities or walls, therefore, it
is recommended that a minimum of 25mm conduit be used to house the leads. The unit is supplied with 5 meters
of lead on the transformer and a 5 meters lead from the solenoid. Additional lead lengths may be accommodated
up to a length of 5m but must be ordered separately.
-
Whilst our product designs consider a broad range of installation types and surfaces, it is important that surfaces
which fixtures are mounted to are flat and free from defect. This is especially important for our Flowmatic
®
Cell
range where special attention is required to minimise ligature points and areas for concealment of
contraband. In addition to ensuring the products are fitted securely and in accordance with the following
instructions, consideration shall be given to the use of non-pick mastics such as BASF Sonolastic "Ultra" to ensure
a high quality and safe installation.
-
Most installation problems are due to damage to the unit during installation or the selection of an inappropriate
installation location. Select the location carefully and take care with the installation, consider ease of operation for
the end user.
-
Minimum DN25 copper supply line and 50mm flush pipe must be used and it will 90° (PVC adaptor to supplied by
installer)
-
The flush valve shall be installed such as to place the outlet at a minimum of 450mm above the rim of the pan.
-
The pan has a maximum daily flush feature. The factory setting is 100 flushes per day (FPD). When this feature
selected, that the maximum flushes have been used and flushing is locked for 24 hours from the time of the first
use.
GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
-
Do not cut the wires or extended the existing leads without using a correct lead extension from Galvin Specialised,
as this will void warranty.
-
Suitable access to the service of all components must be provided.
-
It is recommended that acoustic dampening products or materials be used in facilities where increased levels of
sound protection is required. A water hammer arrestor may also be required.
-
The number of valves and simultaneous demand must be considered when sizing pipes. If other fixtures are
connected to the supply line, calculations of flow rates and pressures must be undertaken to ensure adequate
water supply.
-
Limit the number of changes of directions in pipe work. This will result in less friction loss, better valve
performance and reduce potential water cavitation noise.
-
We recommended fitting isolating valves before solenoid for easy servicing.
-
Do not apply heat near this product during connecting water line. Heat generated by soldering could damage
plastic or electrical parts and seals, and will void the warranty.

customer service staff.
