Installation

This product is suitable for concealed, falling and rising inlet supply
pipes.
1.
Ensuring adequate provision to allow the water to discharge safely
to waste, turn on the supplies to flush the system through. Attach
pressure test equipment and pressure test the system in accordance
with Water Supply Regulations.
N.B. Turn off the water supply following system flushing.
2. Construct suitable 15mm inlet supplies at level 150mm centres. For
concealed pipework ensure the pipes protrude a minimum working
length of 100mm, measured from the intended finished wall surface.
Inlet water supplies
As viewed from front on:
Left = HOT
Right = COLD
Pipe centres: 150± 1mm
Pipe tails: 10-18mm
from finished surface
3. Once the wall surface has been finished, flush through the pipe work
prior to trimming the length of the pipes to 10-18mm, measured
from the finished wall surface.
N.B. We recommend using a rotary type cutter but if a hacksaw is
used, ensure the cut is straight and the pipe ends must be carefully
deburred and chamfered.
N.B. If plastic pipe is used, tube inserts must be fitted and must
not increase the diameter or extend the cut off length by more than 2mm.
We recommend to apply a suitable sealant around the
incoming pipe work to stop water entering the wall.
