4 SITE REQUIREMENTS
4.1 WARNING - The hand wash must not be positioned where it may be subjected to freezing conditions.
4.2 Water requirements. The installation must be in accordance with Water Regulations. To ensure activation of the heating elements, the
hand wash must be connected to a water supply with a minimum running pressure of 1 Bar (14.5 psi) ands a maximum static pressure of 3
Bar (45 psi). If in doubt, the pressure should be checked taking into account of other services from the mains water supply which could
cause the pressure to fall below the minimum. The water supply can also be taken from a cold water storage cistern provided there is a
minimum head of 10m above the unit. It must be an independent supply to the hand wash only.
4.3 If the hand wash is operated outside of the stated pressure parameters, it may not be possible to achieve optimum performance from the
unit throughout the year.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
4.4 WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
4.5 IMPORTANT The installation, supply cable and circuit protection must conform to BS7671.
4.6 Before making any sort of electrical connection ensure that no terminal within the circuit is live. If in any doubt, SWITCH OFF the whole
installation at the consumer unit.
4.7 The hand wash must only be connected to a mains supply not exceeding 240 Volt ac supply.
4.8 The earthing and protective conductor arrangement within the property, in particular the supplementary bonding in the room containing the
hand wash, shall comply with BS7671.
4.9 Ensure that the supply cable and fuse are sufficient for the rating input of your unit. Please refer to the rating label on the unit.
4.10 A minimum cable size of 1.5 sq. mm must be used. The hand wash can be connected in two different ways:
a) Via a fused and switched connection unit taken as a spur from a 13 Amp ring main
b) As a separate circuit taken directly from a spare way in a consumer unit.
In each case, a double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in each pole and a minimum rating of 13 amp must be
incorporated in the wiring to the unit.
5. CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE FITTING
IMPORTANT
5.1 The unit must be mounted on a flat surface, which covers the full width and length of the back plate. It is important that the wall surface is
flat, otherwise difficulty may be encountered when fitting the cover.
5.2 Ensure that the hand wash is positioned over the basin because if the pressure relief device operates, water will eject from the bottom of the
unit.
5.3 The outlet of the hand wash acts as a vent and MUST NOT be connected to any form of outlet or any other fitting.
5.4 DO NOT fit the hand wash to the wall and tile up to the case. It must be fitted to a flat and even wall surface. This allows removal for
servicing.
5.5 The control knob is an integral part of the cover - do not attempt to remove it.
5.6 Position the unit on the wall so that the spray will be contained within the basin, and at a convenient height for hand washing
5.7 It must not be installed for use as a shower unit, or in an area where the unit may be subjected to direct spraying .
5.8 A clearance of at least 130mm above and below the unit should be allowed for access to the cover screws.
5.9 Cable entry - can be from the rear (preferred) or from the side. The back plate has a cut-out position to suit the size of cable.
6.0 Pipe Entry. Plumbing entry is from the bottom.
