Note Celsius, All-in-One and mixer taps have
spouts that swivel. All images are for illustrative
purposes, to aid understanding of the system
configuration, and are not prescriptive of tap
positioning.
Ensure that the taps are mounted in a position that allows
the water to safely drain to waste throughout the effective
positional range.
Ensure that taps are positioned to minimise the risks of
scalding by dispensing boiling water while using the mixer tap.
Hole positioning
Position the tap such that it dispenses into the sink bowl with ample clearance for a cup or tea pot.
Alternatively, the tap could be mounted away from the sink using a Zip Font, available as an accessory. (See
Major components and accessories, Command-CentreTM Installation instructions).

Connections
All plastic pipes / silicon tubes must be trimmed to size. They
must have a constant fall to the Command-CentreTM.

Arc & Cube HydroTap®G4 installation
The HydroTap Arc/Cube has a spout that may be fixed in 1 of 6 angular positions (depending on the
position of the rotary control) and fixed in one of two height positions. The spout is fixed and does not swivel.
To reduce the risk of scalding, Position *A should not be selected with any of the boiling water
models. (See fig. 2.3).
2.1 Configuring the tap
• Remove the 2 x spout locating screws and lower the spout to expose the plastic spring clip.
Note The plastic spring clip has two internal dimples that may be positioned in the 6 upper or 6 lower,
pre drilled holes in the spout (see diagram below & figs. 2.2 & 2.3).
• To reposition the spout, gently spread the plastic spring clip to release the dimples from the spout
holes. When released, slide the clip on the spout so that it ends up between the two rows of holes.
• Rotate the plastic clip on the spout to orient the dimples, so they are in line with the newly selected
holes.
Note When determining which of the 6 holes are required for
the new spout height and orientation, check the new plastic
clip position will clear the undercut and that the USB lead will
not be pinched, when assembled.
• Slide the plastic clip up/down to engage with the selected
holes, making sure the two dimples engage simultaneously
with the two selected holes.
Note The clip will not fit correctly if one dimple engages
before the other. Both dimples must engage at the same time.
• With the clip fitted to the newly selected holes,carefully
raise the spout (ensure the USB lead is a neat fit in the
undercut and is located between the open ends of the
clip) until the clip locating holes are in line with the spout
locating screws.
• Replace the 2 x locating screws.
• If mounting on an uneven surface, apply a light smearing
of silicon sealant on the o-rings to ensure a watertight fit.
(See fig. 2.4).
• Pass the assembly (ensuring upper o-ring, base ring
and lower o-ring are in place)
through the Ø35mm hole
and position the tap so it
discharges into the sink.
• Fit the lower rubber seal to the
threaded extension.
• Secure the tap in position with
the metal washer and nut.
