CONTENTS
Ensure the following items are in the box on unpacking:

1 x Foot control panel, (only with FMA-22 & FMA-24 models).
1 x 1 ltr soap container - 2 x Door keys.

1. SITE PREPARATION
a) Study the installation drawing INSFMA & the following instructions carefully prior to
commencing any work as this will assist you to plan all aspects.
b) Prepare an opening in the wall surface, accurate to the dimensions shown on the installation
drawing INSFMA. It may be preferable to build a stud wall to house the unit as an alternative
method if it is not desirable to carry out extensive alterations to the existing wall. A timber
lining fitted into the aperture will provide greater accuracy in brick/block walls.
c) A small aperture is also required for fitting the foot control panel box for the FMA-22 & FMA-
24 models. An enlarged version of this control panel is also available which acts as a
service access panel. It is advisable to provide an access panel below the main aperture for
access to the water supply & waste connections if access to these from the opposite side of
the wall is not possible.
d) The unit is not designed to provide support above the opening. If this is required then a
suitable lintel should be provided.
e) An electrical supply should be provided with a switched fused spur - 13amp, double pole
connection point that is local to the unit (the contact separation of the fused spur switch
should be at least 3mm). The cable from the switch to the unit should be of minimum
conductor size 1.5mm sq and should be fitted ready for connection to the Handwash unit.
f) A mains cold water supply with a min pressure of 1.75bar should be provided within the
cavity on the left hand side below the aperture and terminated with a suitable isolating tap. It
will not be possible to access the isolating tap through the Handwash unit so a means of
access must be provided or alternatively, position it elsewhere but not too distant from the
unit. Final connection to the Handwash unit water inlet (15mm compression) may be made
with a flexible mains rated hose.
IMPORTANT!
The installer should seek further advice from the manufacturer when
considering connection to gravity fed systems. The units are designed and approved for
mains water supply connection.
g) A waste outlet pipe should be provided within the cavity below the aperture by the installer
that is of 1 1/4” size. Final connection to the Handwash shall be to the deep seal waste trap
outlet provided or to the optional decontamination heated waste trap. As with the water
supply connection it is advisable to consider access to the waste pipe in order to simplify the
final connections.
