The tank connectors should be installed without the use
of any silicone sealant or mastic.
Disassemble the tank connector and insert the main
body, with the black rubber washer fitted, through
the appropriate hole in the overflow box from the top.
From below fit the white hard washer and the fastening
nut and tighten so that it is firmly hand tight. It is not
necessary to use a spanner to over tighten this nut
however it must be firm enough so that it cannot come
loose later.
If needed, it is often possible to tighten an extra 1/4 turn
by tapping the nut round using a flat bladed screwdriver
held in one hand on the edge of the nut whilst you tap
the handle with the flat of the other hand.
Once all 3 tank connector bodies are firmly fitted, with
assistance carefully lift the tank back into position on
the cabinet.
Installing the Pipework
There are 3 pipes that need to be installed, one main
syphon pipe fitted with a valve, one emergency overflow
pipe and one return pipe from the pump.
Pipe 1. Starting from the right of the tank we will install
the smaller return pipe first.
Hold the pipe with the glued hosetail union downwards
and slide the knurled nut with the cup pointing upwards
onto the pipe.
Next put on the cream tapered seal with the thinner part
pointing upwards. From inside the cabinet push the pipe
up through the tank connector. Move to the top of the
tank and screw the threaded end of the pipe into the 90
degree threaded fitting that is part of the pre-installed
pipework in the overflow box. Slide the tapered seal and
knurled nut up the pipe inside the cabinet to the tank
connector and hand tighten.
The pre-assembled pipework that passes through
the overflow wall is threaded and fully removable for
