Fix the Zip Varipoint hot water cylinder locating bracket to the wall with suitable
fixings as shown in the diagram and table of dimensions below.

All dimensions (mm) 

Position the Zip Varipoint securely on the locating bracket.

The expansion vessel should be securely fitted to a suitable and convenient
wall using the fittings supplied and positioned to enable its connection to the
manifold assembly.

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 0845 602 4533.

Plumbing

1. The unit should be provided with a cold water supply via 22mm pipework.

either 15mm compression or ½” BSP fittings. When viewed from the front,
the cold feed connection is to the right and the hot outlet from the heater is 
to the left.

3. The Tee piece and drain valve supplied should be installed on the cold feed 

to the heater to enable it to be drained down for servicing or replacement.
