4 INSTALLATION
4.11
Mains water connection to iBoost:
The 200 is to be permanently
connected to the mains water supply using rigid pipe or suitably sized and rated
flexible hose to comply with current building and plumbing regulations.
The water tank fill valve has a G ½ male threaded fitting; a suitable 90
o
elbow
type fitting must be used. When tightening ensure the fill valve within the tank
is not rotated. If the valve is rotated it may not function correctly with the risk of
flooding.
Ensure there is a demountable joint in the pipe to allow the removal of the iBoost
if needed (see Fig. 15).
4.12
Water outlet pipework:
The 200 is supplied with a kit for connecting it to an iBoost 200 unit,
side to side.
If a greater distance between the units is required then a longer hose will need to
be sourced.
4.13
Connection to overflow/warning pipe:
The overflow fitting is designed to use
1 ¼ " (35 mm OD) plastic waste pipe. Ensure there is a demountable joint in the
pipe to allow the removal of the iBoost if needed (see Fig. 15). The overflow must
be free to vent to atmosphere either via a tundish or a dedicated external pipe.
The overflow for the +200 unit is to be kept separate from the existing iBoost 200
unit’s overflow.
4.14 The iBoost is intended to be installed as a freestanding unit with its back
to a wall.
All the services are connected to the iBoost via a plumbing access window at the
back of the unit, the installation is conducted in 3 simple steps.
Prior to installation remove the screw on the top of the unit and pull the corner of
the front cover to remove it and retain them in a safe place.
Step 1 Preparation:
a) If connecting to an already installed iBoost 200 unit, then drain the water out
of the tank. It needs to be empty in order to connect the +200 unit to it.
b) The kit provided is for side connection only, back connection is possible
with additional fittings and longer hose (not supplied). The supplied hose
provides a maximum gap between the units of approximately 262 mm (from
tank to tank). Measure the gap and check there is enough space to fit the
secondary unit in place.
