SINK MATE PLUS
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INSTALLATION
Mounting the unit
(1)
Choose a mounting location within easy reach of the sink. Make sure the Sink Mate is at least 12 inches above
the chemical supply container(s).
(2)
Remove the cover of the unit as the mounting holes are behind the cover.
(3)
Hold the unit against the wall and mark keyholes —
use a level for marking holes.
(4)
Drill holes and install mounting anchors and screws (supplied).
(5)
Hang the unit and tighten screws.
(6)
When reattaching the cover, be sure that the knobs line up properly with the tabs on the water valves and that
the dials (if used) are properly aligned.
Connecting the water supply
This proportioner operates best with a flowing water pressure of 30
-
60 PSI. Fluctuating pressure can affect dilution
ratios —
use a water source that is not feeding other equipment whenever possible. Water temperature should be
between 40ºF and 140ºF.
(1)
Attach male end of high pressure supply hose to inlet side of proportioner using a garden hose washer. Water
inlet can be located on the left side if necessary.
(2)
Attach female connector on high pressure hose to water source.
(3)
Turn on water and check for possible leaks.
Tubing connections
(1)
For 1 product units: Route the outgoing 3/4" vinyl tube up through the bottom of the unit and connect to the
bottom of the mixing valve assembly. Flex
-
Gap equipped units have a
“
flow restrictor
”
inside the
3/4”
tube —
connect the tube so that the end with the flow restrictor is closest to the valve.
For 2 product units: A long
3/4”
output hose is included so you can cut into needed lengths (many installations
have one nearby sink tub, and the other is farther away). Flex
-
Gap equipped units have a
“
flow restrictor
”
inside
both ends of the
3/4”
tube. Cut the tube into the 2 lengths required for your installation, making sure that the end
with the flow restrictor (if used) will be closest to the valve. Route the tubes up through the bottom of the unit and
connect to the bottom of the mixing valve assemblies.
(2)
Route the discharge end of the
3/4”
vinyl tube(s) to the sink, securing the tube(s) to the wall with the provided tie
wraps (they have an
“
eyelet
”
for mounting hardware). Cut off any excess tube length not needed.
(3)
For 1 product units: Cut the 3/8" suction tube to a suitable length —
the tube must reach from metering tip to
bottom of chemical container.
For 2 product units: A long
3/8”
suction tube is included with the unit. so you can cut into needed lengths. Cut the
tube into the 2 lengths required for your installation —
the tubes must reach from metering tips to bottom of
chemical containers.
(4)
Insert the appropriate metering tip into the valve(s) —
see the following page for tip selection.
(5)
Route the suction tube(s) up through the bottom of the unit and slide the tube(s) over the metering tip. Secure in
place with a tie wrap.
(6)
Slide a ceramic weight onto the pickup end of the suction tube, then insert a footvalve into the tube.
(7)
Drop the suction tube(s) into the chemical container(s), ensuring that the ceramic weight pulls the footvalve(s)
down to the bottom of the container(s).
