The Boiler control units and Chiller
Carbonator modules must sit underneath
the tap or in an adjacent cupboard to the
tap location.
This is because the tap has a
communication cable that plugs into
the Q553-B (boiler control) that cannot
be stretched. Most models will fit into
a standard 600 cupboard. The Infinite
range(653) requires a 650 or 700
cupboard as minimum space.
There are 3 types of Quatreau Tap (faucet)
1. Quatreau Touch™
2. Quatreau SmartTap™*
3. Quatreau SmartTap™ with integrated
driptray*
1. INSTALLING THE QUATREAU TOUCH™
The Touch requires a 40mm hole cut into
the surface behind the sink or drainer it is
going to be used with.
Depending upon the surface you will
need special cutting equipment. For
granite or marble a diamond tipped
core bit will be required. For wood or MDF
or polymer type surface a wood bit will
normally be adequate. Always check with
the worksurface manufacturer and ask
what type of bit can be used.
Decide where the tap is going to sit. Note
that the control panel is on the right-hand
side of the tap. Ensure that the location
you choose is suitable and that you can
reach the controls without needing to
stretch.
We typically set back approximately
50mm from the back edge of the sink.
Your kitchen design will of course dictate
whether this is possible.
Before you start cutting ensure that you
have set up a jig or a template device to
prevent the drill bit moving when you start
the cut.
Once the hole is prepared, remove any
rough edges or bits of wood and place
the tap carefully into the hole ensuring
that the comms cable is dropped into the
hole first to prevent damage.
Using the washer and fixing bracket
provided, you can now fix the tap in
place underneath the work surface.
Be careful to locate the comms cable
into the groove behind the tap base
then slide the washer up over the base
followed by the fixing bracket. This will
screw onto the thread on the tap base.
Ensure that the comms cable is not
damaged as you spin the bracket
clockwise until it is almost at the top of the
thread.
At each side of the fixing bracket you will
see a threaded hole. Using the two bolts
provided thread up into these holes until
tight against the washer above. With a
flat head screw driver, tighten each one
gently.
Now position the tap so that the control
panel faces forward towards the user
position (180degrees to the sink). Now you
can tighten the nuts until you have a firm
fixing on both sides.
The comms cable hangs down and will
connect into the QT553-B unit when it
is installed. It’s essential that the 553-B
is located close to this cable without
causing it to stretch.
