5.4 Water Connections
NOTE: Before you carry out the following steps, flush the water supply pipes to
remove any debris and trapped air.
NOTE: Fit a Y strainer in the water supply feed pipes before connection to the
washbasin, especially on older installations where loose particles from ageing
water pipes can cause a blockage and/or damage to the solenoid valves.
NOTE: Fit a service isolating tap on the water supply feed to each water
solenoid valve. This allows for ease of maintenance when required. The
isolating tap is not supplied by Wallgate, and should be purchased separately.
NOTE: Use of any pipe sealing compound should be avoided to prevent
blockages & damage to the basin faucet & water solenoid valves.
NOTE: The proportional flow solenoid valve has a direction of flow arrow on
the body, ensure correct orientation.
1. Fit ø15mm copper water pipe (item 7) to the solenoid valve outlet and then fit this
to the Tectite T inlet (item 5) as shown on Figure 3.
NOTE: The copper water pipe must be properly de-burred both internally and
externally to create a 1mm chamfer on the outside of the tube that fits to the
Tectite push fit T. A proprietary pipe cutter must be used.
2. When connecting a tap to the hot water supply, ensure a Thermostatic Mixing
Valve is fitted
prior
to the solenoid valve, to protect the user and prevent damage
to the valve.
3. Fit the proportional control solenoid valve (item 8) to the ø15mm copper pipe
(item 7) as shown.
NOTE: Direction of flow arrow on solenoid valve body.
4. Fit appropriate waste tails and traps to the basin.
