GENERAL
This illustration shows a typical installation for the Model 1720 Tapmaster. The valve blocks are
connected in
-
line on the hot and cold water
supplies with
3/8”
O.D. compression fittings. The
pilot/actuator valve is mounted about knee
height on the inside wall of the cabinet opposite
the door hinge. The control tubing is routed in
between the valves. Water flow to the faucet is
activated by pressing with the knee or leg against
the cabinet door.
Installation for the 1722 and 1710 models is
essentially identical. The Model 1722 comes with
two pilot/actuator valves and is generally used on
island cabinets required control from either side.
The Model 1710 comes with one valve block
attached to a pilot/actuator valve and is typically
used on mixed or single line water supplies.
Installations will vary according to the design of
the cabinet, type of faucet and plumbing
hardware. In some cases it may be simpler to
connect the valve blocks at some convenient mid
-
point along the 3/8" supply tubing. In this case it will be necessary to obtain a 3/8" x 3/8"
compression connector
(available at most hardware stores) to connect the inlet fitting into the
water lines. Other plumbing arrangements may be encountered where larger than 3/8" O.D. tube
sizes are used. In these situations reducing adapters
(available at most hardware stores) must be
obtained to permit installation of the Tapmaster.
Although the Tapmaster will work with virtually any faucet, faucets with handles that give a visual
reference for flow and temperature are recommended. Cabinet doors will also vary in design and
construction. Doors with spring loaded hinges are recommended. However, mechanical and
magnetic latches will work equally well as long as there is some play in the mechanism to
accommodate the 1/32
”
stroke of the pilot/actuator valve.
OPERATION
To operate the Tapmaster simply press against the cabinet door
with your knee or leg and set the faucet open to the desired flow
and temperature. By releasing the door, the Tapmaster shuts off
the water flow to the faucet. Once the faucet has been adjusted
it should be left open.
The Tapmaster does not alter the appearance of the faucet,
therefore a
removable decal is provided which may be located on
any hard smooth surface near the faucet to alert people to its
method of operation. Alternately, simply attaching a piece of tape,
string or an elastic band to the faucet handle will remind the end
-
user the faucet is Tapmaster equipped.
