Step B - Installing the undersink unit
SPECIAL NOTE: The HydroTap undersink units are heavy, take note of the
weights listed in the table on page 4. If you think you cannot lift the unit
safely, get help and avoid possible injury.
Before positioning the heater connect the braided water inlet hose (supplied) to the
cold water inlet on the unit. This is located at the rear of the unit.
Position the Zip HydroTap undersink unit as close as possible to directly beneath
the Zip HydroTap tap head.
The connection tubes supplied with the tap head assembly CANNOT be lengthened.
Leave at least a 50 mm air-gap without obstruction on each side of the unit and
65mm at the rear
Adjust both cupboard door hinges and attach the supplied rubber door buffers to
the doors to create a 4 mm air-gap between the doors and the cupboard. This is
the minimum ventilation requirement for low usage installations.
Proper air circulation must be provided for all Boiling and Chilled models. The
system will operate correctly only if the recommended air gaps are achieved
during installation. A ventilation hole measuring 100mm must be cut into the top
half of the cupboard door to accommodate the air vent provided. Make sure that
the undersink unit ventilation grilles are not obstructed in any way.
Cupboard ventilation for Boiling only and Boiling Ambient models is recommended.
Step C - Connecting the tap
Model BC and HT (boiling/chilled models)
Measure and trim the blue tube and connect it to the chilled water outlet located
on the top front, right hand side of the undersink unit. Use spring clamps provided.
Measure and trim the red marked tube and connect it to the hot water outlet
located on the top center, right hand side of the undersink unit. Use spring clamps
provided.
Measure and trim the unmarked tube and connect it to the vent outlet located on
the top center, left hand side the top of the undersink unit. Use spring clamps
provided.
NOTE: All tubes must have a continuous fall back to the undersink unit.
Connect the tap USB connector to the USB port on the undersink unit. Orient the
USB plug carefully and connect, do not force the plug. Once connected, fix the
cable to the wall, ensure it is away from any possible water splashes and is off the
floor.
Note: When trimming any silicon tubes trim to minimum length, do not loop any
excess or allow kinking of the tubes. When connecting, slide the tube over the pipe
at least 25mm. There are black plastic clamps provided on the boiling and chilled
hoses to choke the flow if required. Only choke the flow if it is excessively strong.
Model B, BD and HT (boiling only models)
Measure and trim the red marked tube and / or the blue marked tube and connect
it to the hot water outlet and amblient outlet if a BD model, on the top of the
undersink unit. Use spring clamps provided.
Measure and trim the unmarked tube and connect it to the vent outlet on the top of
the undersink unit. Use spring clamps provided.
NOTE: All tubes must have a continuous fall back to the undersink unit.
Connect the tap USB connector to the USB port on the undersink unit. Orient the
USB plug carefully and connect, do not force the plug. Once connected, fix the
cable to the wall, ensure it is away from any possible water splashes and is off the
floor.
Note:
Included in the installation pack are
adhesive backed silicon buffers. If air
vents are not installed in the cupboards
housing the HydroTap, the buffers must
be placed on the inside edge of the
cupboard door to create a slight gap
ensuring a minimum airflow. Failure to
do this may cause the HydroTap to
overheat and operate inefficiently.
