Faultfinder
Installation
A competent person must always carry out the installation of this product in
accordance with these instructions. The installation must comply with the
current local water company regulations.
The following points should always be considered when carrying out an
installation
1) Care must be taken to prevent any risk of injury or damage to persons or
property.
2) The product has integral isolation for servicing the unit, further isolation
could be included if considered necessary.
3) To eliminate pipe debris entering the valve the system must always be
thoroughly cleaned and flushed particularly if it is new, or extensive
modification has taken place. The product must never be used without
the in line filters fitted; failure to fit the filters may invalidate the
guarantee.
4) The fitting is supplied with a single check valve in each inlet; it should
be fitted so that the relevant air gap specified in the water regulations is
achieved above the spillover level of the basin or trough.
5) The surface to which the unit is to be fixed needs two holes minimum
23mm diameter maximum 30mm diameter at 150mm to 200mm centres
(the tails are eccentric giving variable centres)
6) If fitted in a health care environment the relevant Health Technical
Memorandum must be consulted to ensure correct positioning of the
outlet in relation to the basin or trough.
7) The unit is supplied suitably configured for fitting onto a high pressure
system if a low pressure system is to be used the flow limiters (item 16
and 17) must be removed see servicing for method.
8) When viewed from the front and the unit is connected to the supplies the
Hot supply must be connected to the left hand inlet and the cold to the
right hand inlet.
