WATER REQUIREMENTS
The installation must be in accordance with
Water Regulations and Bylaws.
To guarantee activation of the heating elements,
the unit must be connected to a mains water
supply with a minimum running pressure of
100kPa (1.0 bar) at a minimum flow rate of four
litres/minute and a maximum static pressure of
1000kPa (10 bar).
NOTE
: If the stated flow rates are not available,
it may not be possible to achieve optimum
performance from the unit throughout the year.
The water supply can be taken from a cold
water storage cistern provided there is a
minimum head of ten metres above the unit.
It must be an independent supply to the
handwash unit only.
If it is intended to operate the unit at pressures
above the maximum or below the minimum
stated, contact Triton Customer Experience for
advice.
SITING OF THE UNIT
IMPORTANT

be connected to cold water inlet mains
pipework.

Pressure Relief Safety Device
A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed
into the handwash unit which complies with
European Standards. The PRD provides a level of
appliance protection should an excessive build
up of pressure occur within the unit.
DO NOT operate the handwash with a
damaged or blocked sprayhead; this can cause
the PRD to operate.
When commissioning, the sprayhead must
be removed from the swivel arm and the
temperature control must be at the minimum
flow position. Failure to follow this procedure
may also cause the PRD to operate.
Make sure the handwash is positioned over a
sink or basin, because if the PRD operates, water
will eject from the bottom of the unit. Should
this happen, turn off the electricity and water
supplies to the unit at the isolating switch and
stop valve.
Contact Triton Customer Experience for advice
on replacing the PRD.
