Installation Requirements
1.
15mm (½”) cold water line.
2.
Min/Max pressure: 100 - 520 kPa.
3.
Min/Max temperature 0° - 38°C (protect from freezing).
4.
Suitable location for faucet.
Alternative fittings may be required if being connected to anything other than 15mm (½”) copper
pipe. No electrical or drainage requirements needed.
Note: Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be
installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards. (Ref. AS/NZS 3500.1-
2003, Clause 3.3.4)
Installation Procedure
1.
Select suitable location for filtered water to be delivered (eg. sink). Remember to allow
access room for changing filters and a suitable place where water spillage will not
cause damage. Location should not be in direct sunlight.
2.
Isolate water supply and cut copper pipe ready to install the connection tee.
3.
Connect the ballvalve, pressure limiting valve and push-fit connector together with
thread tape. Flush a small amount of water to remove any debris.
4.
Choose the best position for the faucet, taking into consideration height of jugs etc.
and also the drainage of any spills. Then drill a 12mm hole and install the faucet as in
step 5.
5.
To install the faucet, connect the base of the faucet to the spout. Feed the escutcheon
and O-ring over the threaded end of the faucet (see figure 2, pg.6). Insert the threaded
end into the hole in the sink or bench. Feed the plastic washer, lock washer, locking nut,
gasket, cone washer and ¼” compression nut onto the threaded end and tighten the
nuts, ensuring the faucet is correctly positioned above the benchtop.
6.
Install housing assembly by positioning it in the desired location, marking the position
of fixing holes and fixing with bracket screws (IL-UB Series can be mounted horizontally
or vertically). Allow room for the connecting tubes and for removing the filter bowls
(50mm).
7.
Fit tubing into connectors (for quick-connect fittings see figure 3, pg. 7). Allow slack in
the tubing. Ensure flow arrow on cartridge is in direction of waterflow.
8.
Install cartridge as per Cartridge Installation/Replacement.
9.
Restore the water supply and check for leaks. The filters need to be only hand tight. If
they leak then undo housing and check the O-ring is seated properly.
