Positioning
1
Depending upon the model chosen the Varipoint 2 can be installed over
or underbasin. The underbasin model is designed to be floor standing
with the connections uppermost, the hot supply (colour coded red) to the
left when facing the unit.
2
The models to be sited overbasin are wall hung using the bracket
provided.
Ensure that the wall supporting the product is sufficiently
strong to bear the weight of the unit when full.
The connections are at
the bottom of the unit, again the hot supply is to the left facing the unit.
Mark the position of the fixing positions
AND BEFORE
drilling into the
wall ensure that any hidden pipework or electrical wiring is avoided.
3
The dimensions, fixing positions and weights are shown in the Table that
appears on page 6.
4
When deciding the final location of the heater, consideration should
be given to the safe and visible disposal of any water resulting
from leaks or seepage. This is particularly relevant when the heater
is located in a roof space, cupboard or any concealed location.
For guidance please ring Zip Heaters on 0870 608 8888.
5
Position the Zip Varipoint to allow for future maintenance.
6
Do not install in a location where the unit or connecting pipe can freeze.
Plumbing
1
Check the incoming water supply pressure as this will determine the
layout and safety controls required. Remember that the mains water
pressure can increase considerably at night.
2
Refer to the diagrams 1 to 3 to determine accessories required and
layout.
3
Position the heater and controls to allow for future maintenance.
4
All control and safety valves are marked to show the direction of water
flow. It will not function if incorrectly orientated. Do not break any seals or
attempt to adjust any safety valve; to do so may impair the safety of the
installation and will
invalidate the guarantee.
5
To ensure a watertight seal use fibre washers for connecting services
between the heater and the connectors used. Complete the seal by
applying PFTE tape to the threads but do not over-apply. Do not use
plumbers paste to secure joints as this can impair the operation of any
valves connected to the heater.
6
Flush all pipework before making the final connections to the valves,
accessories and the heater.
