ENSURE THAT THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS
LISTED ON PAGE 4 BEFORE CONTINUING WITH INSTALLATION.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE PIPE WORK TO THE POWERSTREAM,
ENSURE THAT THE PIPE WORK IS FULLY FLUSHED OUT.
Fitting the pipes
•
The unit should be connected directly to the main cold-water supply. A gauze filter should be
incorporated to prevent any debris entering the venturi.
•
For the inlet and outlet connections Ø15mm copper or stainless-steel pipe must be used.
Plastic pipe of any kind cannot be used.
•
Use PTFE tape for making screw joints. Do not use a jointing compound as it can enter the unit
and cause damage to the flow switch mechanism.
•
Remember to keep the hot water pipe runs as short as possible (Ideally less than 3m) and insulate
this piping especially on longer runs.
•
If the unit is to supply more than one basin outlet, the height should be the same at each outlet
if they are to be used at the same time. If not, one outlet will take all the water.
In some cases, it may be worth fitting a second unit.
•
When the pipework has been plumbed in, flush it through with water before you connect the
unit, to remove any swarf or loose particles.
Connecting the unit to the pipes
•
The inlet and outlet are clearly marked on the unit. All models have Ø15mm straight
shank connections.
•
The unit comes with a service valve (diagram 6) which must be fitted on the inlet of the unit.
The valve can be used to turn off the water supply to the unit if it needs servicing, or to
reduce the main supply flow if it is too high (see
“commissioning”
section on page 8).
Fitting the attachments
•
If the unit is to supply a shower, you will also need a “Redring Mixer Unit”. Available in
chrome finish and suitable for surface or concealed pipe entry (see page 9 for details). Only
the approved shower mixer unit (300001357) is guaranteed to operate with this product.
•
If the unit is to supply a shower, and the shower handset can reach water in a bath or basin,
you must fit a vacuum breaker to comply with Water By-laws.
Alternatively, use the hose-retaining feature built into the soap dish.
Because water can sometimes seep through, you should position the vacuum breaker where
dripping will not do any damage.
•
If the unit is to supply a basin or two basins,
we recommend that you use
“¼
turn lever control spray
taps”
(see page 13).
