2.SITE PREPARATION.

(a) Prepare an opening in the wall surface, accurate to the dimensions shown in drawing

“INSCME_45” on page 4. It is important that the aperture is square and within tolerance to
the stated dimensions as there is very little overlap of the unit fascia (approx 10mm). If
preferable the unit could be fitted as the block work proceeds and a timber lining will also
greatly improve the aperture accuracy. In existing buildings it may be preferable to build a
stud wall to house the unit as an alternative to preparing an aperture in the wall.

(b) The unit is held between two metal mounting plates that are fixed to each side of the

aperture. If support is required above the aperture then a suitable lintel must be installed.

mounting brackets, as these must be fitted flush with the finished surface.

(d) An electrical supply should be provided with a switched fused spur-13Amp, double pole

connection point that is local to the unit (the contact separation of the fused spur switch
should be at least 3mm). A suitable cable with a minimum conductor size of 1.5mm sq.
should be connected to the fused spur switch ready for connection to the unit.

(e) A mains cold water supply with a min pressure of 1.75bar should be provided within the

wall cavity below the aperture and terminated with a suitable isolating tap. Final
connection to the handwash unit water inlet (15mm compression) may be made with a
flexible mains rated (WRC approved) hose. If the unit is to be connected to a gravity
(tank) fed supply further advice should be requested from Wallgate.

(f) A waste outlet connection of 32mm (1¼”) should be provided within the wall cavity below

the aperture.
