5.11 An isolating stopvalve MUST be incorporated to the main water supply to
comply with Water Regulations - see Figure. 4 (p.9).
5.12 Cut all necessary pipework to length with a pipecutter and not a hacksaw. This
will minimise the swarf and prevent damage to the sealing o-ring in the pushfit
fitting - see Figure 10 (below).
5.13 Assemble the installation before
making any soldered joints to
ensure that the pipe is the correct
length. DO NOT use jointing
compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
5.14 Remove the unit before soldering
the connections.
5.15 It is essential to flush the pipe in
order to clear debris, particles of
solder and swarf - see Figure 12
(opposite).
5.16 Turn the water off after flushing
using the isolating stop valve.
5.17 Connect the cold water supply
pipe to the inlet of the handwash,
this is a push fit - see Figure 11
(above).
5.18 Fit top and bottom screws and
secure the backplate to the wall
ensuring that it is level.
5.19 Close the handwash flow control
valve by turning the gear fully
anti-clockwise.
5.20 Turn the isolating stop valve on
slowly and check for leaks in all
pipework, rectify as necessary.
5.21 Turn off the isolating stop valve.
