Fitting Self- cutting Valve to
Existing Copper Pipework
Final Checks
The self-cutting valve is suitable for 15mm copper tube and should be fitted
as follows:
1
To position valve outlet in the direction required:
a) screw chrome locknut hand-tight against shoulder of valve.
b) screw valve into saddle until locknut contacts saddle.
c) decide which way valve is to be fitted to pipe for positioning of valve outlet
Note: after water connection is made valve can be unscrewed to a maximum
of half a turn for final positioning (see instruction 7 below).
2
remove saddle from backplate.
3
screw back plate to wall. use packing piece if necessary to ensure pipe sits
in grove in backplate.
NB: The back plate must be firmly fixed to the wall to avoid distortion of the
copper pipe and possible leakage when screwing valve into saddle.
4
Remove valve from saddle complete with cutter and seal.
5
Ensure the rubber seal is correctly located within the body of the saddle,
then screw saddle to backplate.
6
screw valve into saddle by hand until locknut contacts saddle. Water
connection is then made.
NB: Do not attempt to overtighten valve; screwing valve in until locknut
contacts is quite sufficient.
7
For final positioning of valve, unscrew valve no further than 1/2 turn.
Tighten locknut against saddle a maximum of hand-tight plus 1/4 of a turn.
8
Fit Torbeck flexibel filling hose and rubber seal washer to the Valve outlet.
Do not turn on the water until the rest of the Installation procedure is
complete.
Turn the self-cutting tap handle anti-clockwise, to allow the water to flow.
Turn ON the electricity supply.
Finally, make sure that all of the connections are firm, and turn on the mains
water.
Check for any signs of water leaks.
Turn ON the Humidifier to check it’s performance.
