Installation
Where line pressure exceeds recommended max pressure on housing
label a pressure limiting valve must be installed. Protect the housing
from water hammer.
Use on water only up to 52°C. For installation over 52°C please enquire as
to a suitable housing. Protect the housing from freezing.
Do not install in direct sunlight and clear housings must not be installed
externally.
Use PTFE thread seal tape on all connections. Use of pipe sealants will
void warranty. Do not overtighten. Too much tape or over tightening may
cause head to split.
For point of entry installations an approved dual check backflow prevention
device must be fitted in accord with national plumbing product codes.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection.
Clear bowl housings should be installed in a dark position away from
direct sunlight.
Installation of this housing onto mains water supplies must be by a
licensed plumber.
Positioning your lter
Choose a location where the water spillage will not cause damage. If
cupboard is chosen care needs to be taken in case of water spillage or
flooding. Make sure mounting position is solid so that filter stays in position
when changing filters. An isolation valve may be installed immediately prior
to the filter to isolate the filter for changing the cartridge.
Installation Procedure
1 Isolate water supply and relieve pressure by opening a downstream tap.
2 Cut pipe to suit length of required valve and housing installation.
