IMPORTANT:
The fittings on the inlets, outlets and circulation loop are the push-fit type. The pipework
MUST be cut with a pipe cutter and all burrs and rough edges removed from the end of the
tube. The fittings can be used with copper and plastic pipe.
If using a chrome-plated copper pipe, remove the first 25 mm of plating completely from the
connecting surfaces. If not completely removed, the collet will not grip the pipe and under
pressure, the pipe may be forced out.
Before completing the connection of the water supplies to the inlets of the Triton Xerophyte
Mixer Unit, flush out the pipework to remove all swarf and system debris.
1. Turn off the water supplies either at the mains stop valve or the isolating stop valve.
2. Having decided on the position of the unit and direction of pipe entry, complete the
pipework to the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit.
3. Check for leaks before connecting the pipework to the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit.
4. Insert the incoming pipework into the 15 mm push-fit connectors (Fig 10).
5. Check that the isolating valves on the inlet connectors are fully open (Fig 11).
All pipework should be insulated.
To guard against overheating, DO NOT insulate or cover the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit.
