This illustration shows a typical installation for the Model 1750
Tapmaster. The valve blocks are connected in
-
line on the hot and
cold water supplies with
3/8”
compression fittings and the kick plate
is mounted on the cabinet toe kick with the control tubing routed in
between them.
The Model 1740 and 1742 come with one valve block and are
generally used on tepid or single line water supplies. The 1752 and
1742 come with two kick plates and are typically used on island
cabinets that require control from either side. Installations will vary
according to the design of the cabinet, type of faucet and plumbing
hardware. In some cases, it may be simpler to connect the valve
blocks at some convenient mid
-
point along the 3/8" supply tubing.
In this case it will be necessary to obtain a 3/8" x 3/8" compression
connector
(available at most hardware stores) to connect the inlet
fitting into the water lines. Other plumbing arrangements may be
encountered where larger than 3/8" O.D. tube sizes are used. In
these situations reducing adapters
(available at most hardware
stores) must be obtained to permit installation of the Tapmaster.
Although the Tapmaster will work with virtually any faucet, faucets
that have handles which give a visual reference for flow and
temperature are recommended. Cabinet toe kicks will also vary in
design and construction. They should allow free access to the kick
pedal, particularly the upper angled face to facilitate the latching of
the
“
continuous on
”
feature. Toe kicks of less than
4”
in height are
not recommended.
GENERAL
To operate Tapmaster in
momentary mode, simply press the foot lightly against the kick plate and
open the faucet to the desired flow and temperature.
By releasing the kick plate, Tapmaster shuts off the
water flow to the faucet. Once the faucet has been
adjusted it should be left open.
For
continuous mode, press down in the middle of the
kick plate angled face until it
“
latches
”.
This will
provide continuous flow to the faucet until the kick
plate is tapped again to unlatch. The latching feature
allows the operator to use the faucet for such things
as filling the sink, etc. It is not recommended for
repeated on/off operation. This feature has been
intentionally designed to require a deliberate
thoughtful motion on the part of the operator to
prevent latching inadvertently .
Tapmaster does not alter the appearance of the
faucet, therefore a
removable decal is provided which
may be located on nearly any hard smooth surface
near the faucet to alert people to its method of
operation. It is not recommended to be used on dry-
wall.
