INSTALLATION
The Aquatica laundry tub has hot and cold taps on the console to supply the washing machine.
Unpack and inspect laundry tub for shipping damage. Please advise your plumbing retailer if
damage has occurred. Aquatica NZ Ltd will not be responsible for repair costs if damage is
reported after installation.
Check that the pre-plumb work is suitable for your tub.
All models must be installed level to ensure door or drawers line up correctly. If the cabinet
is out of level the drawer fronts can become staggered. Adjust feet to correct any
misalignment. On the drawer model, if further adjustment is required, this can be achieved
using a screwdriver on the drawer connection brackets.
We recommend that all laundry cabinets are securely fastened to prevent movement and
excessive load on plumbing connections. Drawer model cabinets must be secured to the
floor or wall framing at both sides to prevent tipping forwards.
Configure your single lever mixer depending on your water supply system.
Mains pressure hot and cold water
Does not need P.C.W.
Can leave flow guide (max flow) in mixer or swap to P.C.A. (8 litres/min)
Low pressure hot and cold water
Fit as supplied. May fit aerator but will reduce the flow of water.
Low pressure hot and mains pressure cold water
-
Leave flow guide in place. Must fit P.C.W. to prevent high pressure cold water back-flowing
into the low pressure hot water line.
With the cabinet secured, connect the hot and cold water inlets at the wall to the bottom
end of the 1/2” BSP brass T fittings (using standard plumbing fittings).
Connect washing machine hot and cold hoses to the 20mm flexi tail outlets
(red - hot / blue - cold).
Connect waste outlet to household plumbing via trap (trap not supplied).
Insert discharge hose from washing machine directly into the inlet on the cabinet side.
Secure in place using the cable tie provided. Cabinet washing machine inlet fitting can be
reversed to the opposite side of the cabinet if required.
Turn household water supply on and test to ensure that all connections are watertight.

from front and rear.

feet.
