Tapmaster 1780 Installation Instructions

OPERATION
To operate the Tapmaster simply step on the activator disk and open the faucet to the desired flow
and temperature. By stepping off the activator disk or releasing pressure shuts off the water flow
to the faucet. Once the faucet has been adjusted it should be left open. As in other foot operated
devices all operators should allow themselves some time to get accustomed to this unique method
of operation.
The use of short bursts of water as required will maximize water savings.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Models 1780, 1781, 1782,
1784,1786 & 1788
Tapmaster Incorporated will not be held liable for damage to property or persons resulting from improper installation of this product
any part of the installation process, please contact us for assistance or consult a professional tradesperson before installation.
• Water lines must be flushed prior to installation
•
Do not install if control tubes are damaged in any way
• Control tubes are pressurized after installation. Do not
expose tubing to excessive heat, unsealed chemicals, or
physical damage
two separate locations as would be found in an island sink. Model 1784 is identical to Model 1780
with two in-line valve blocks and a second activator disk. Model 1786 features Hot/Warm/Cold
(HWC) temperature selection. Model 1788 is identical to Model 1786 except there are two HWC
disks.
Installation of the valve blocks will vary according to the application. In some cases it may be
simpler to connect the valve blocks at some mid-point along the 3/8" supply tubes. It will be
necessary to obtain a 3/8" x 3/8" compression connector
connect the inlet fitting to the water lines. Other plumbing arrangements may be encountered
where larger than 3/8" O.D. tube size is used. In these situations reducing adapters
hardware stores) must be obtained to permit installation of the Tapmaster.
Although Tapmaster will work with virtually any faucet, faucets that have handles which give a
visual reference for flow and temperature are recommended.

GENERAL
This illustration shows a typical Model 1780 Tapmaster. The valve blocks
connect in-line on the hot and cold water supplies with 3/8" O. D.
compression fittings. The pilot/actuator valve is mounted to the underside
of the activator disk which is mounted to the floor with the three #8 coun-
tersunk screws provided.
Model 1780, shown at left, features two in-line valve blocks, one each for
the hot and cold water lines and one step on activator disk. Model 1781
features one in-line valve block with one step on activator disk and is used
in situations where only one water line (typically tepid or recirculating
warm water systems) is required. Model 1782 is identical to Model 1781
with an additional activator disk added to permit water flow activation from
(available at most hardware stores)
GENERAL: The following instructions for installing the in-floor
activator are for a typical installation and only a guideline.
Whether it is a retrofit situation or a new facility install, sink
arrangements, floor coverings and construction materials will
vary greatly.
LOCATION: As per Figure 1, locate the center of the faucet/
sink and mark this location on the floor. Locate the leading
edge of the sink or counter and extend this line to the floor to
intersect the previously drawn center line. With the template
provided locate the activator disk in the center of this
position.
For new concrete floor installations, the in-floor activator
is design to fit into a standard round PVC "concrete pour type"
in-floor electrical box. These type of electrical boxes are
available from manufacturers such as Hubbel, LEW, Carlon
and Kraloy to name a few. PVC conduit is run from the in-
floor electrical box and out of the wall just underneath the
sink and above the water supply shutoff valves (see Figure 2
next page). After the PVC box is cut as per the manufacturers
instructions and the flooring placed, the Tapmaster activator
disk is ready to be installed.
