The following installation instructions and procedures followed correctly will ensure System performance is
not compromised in any way.
1.
Excavate a 1.4m (wide) x 1.6m (long) level platform for Wormorator® at the appropriate depth, so
when it is placed there is adequate fall to inlet from its source.
2.
Excavate a 1.4m (wide) x 1.6m (long) level platform, below the Wormorator® platform, for the Dose
Chamber and placed so that the Dose Chamber is centered to Wormorator®.
3.
Lay 100mm of bedding metal on platforms and place Wormorator® then Dose Chamber.
4.
Fit the short length of DWV50 supplied, in outlet hole, in base of Wormorator®.

from base of Chamber. Very carefully drill a 62.7mm hole with a hole saw at marked center and fit
50mm Uniseal (see Uniseal instruction details appendix B below)
6.
