HydroTap Installation and Operating Instructions_Commercial_BCH 4in1_BH 3in1_October 2012_V1.05
Page 8 of 24
Special Tools Required
In addition to normal tools, the following will be required:
•
35mm diameter sheet metal hole punch for sink tops. (not supplied)
•
35mm diameter hole saw for timber bench tops. (not supplied)
•
Nut runner tube spanner (supplied) for fixing tap assembly.
•
When installing a Font unit:
•
108mm diameter sheet metal or hole saw to suit surface being cut.
Step A - Installing the (Boiling / Chilled) HydroTap outlet
(see options P19)
1. Make sure that the tap location will allow the nozzle to drain into the
sink.
2. Cut a 35mm hole in the bench / sink top.
3. Ensure the black plastic spacer remains in place as this is the moisture
seal against the bench / sink top.
A light smearing of silicon sealant
on the underside of the spacer will ensure a watertight fit.
4. Pass all three hoses through the 35mm hole and carefully locate the
Head Assembly and black spacer on the bench / sink area.
5. From the underside of the bench / sink area install the S/S washer
and “Spider Clamp” by feeding each of the three tubes and electrical
cable evenly in between the legs of the “Spider Clamp”. Slide it up
to meet the “All Thread”, and pass the “All Thread” through the centre
of the “Spider Clamp”.
6. Hold the “All Thread” steady and fit the 6mm nut to the “All Thread”
using the tube spanner supplied in the kit. Check the Tap Head position
before securing it tightly against the bench / sink top.
NOTE 1: The tap assembly must not be positioned more than 900mm
above the HydroTap unit.
Failure to do this may result in poor water delivery.
NOTE 2: Under no circumstances should the Tap be twisted after the
installation is complete.

Benchtop
• A potable mains cold water supply with a minimum working pressure of 2 bar dynamic and a maximum working
pressure of 7 bar connected via an isolation valve. If pressure is likely to exceed 7 bar, install a 3.5 bar Pressure
Limiting Valve.
• The fitting of an air flow vent cut into the top half of the cupboard door concealing the HydroTap requiring a cut size
of approximately 100mm circular, to provide adequate warm air displacement. In installations where high volume
draw-off will occur, the fitting of the accessory exhaust fan is essential.
Important: Do not proceed with the installation if these requirements are not met.
CAUTION:
In order to avoid a hazard due to the inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut out, this appliance must not be
supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on
and off by the utility
