Hydrotap BH, 3-in-1 and BCH, 4-in-1 models employ the use of selected Hydrotap B and BC assemblies, which have
been factory modified to accept a secondary mixer tap. The mixer tap is connected so that it draws water directly from
the cold water mains as well as from the boiling water storage tank. In this way the combination of the two taps will
allow the user to select water at 4 different temperature ranges. (see estimates below)
For BCH, 4-in-1 models, the main Hydrotap outlet will deliver Boiling and Chilled water and the secondary mixer tap
outlet will deliver Hot and Cold water. Whereas the BH, 3-in-1 models will perform exactly the same, except there is no
chilled water option.

BH Unit
Note:
Always ensure the tubes are
shortened so that any excess
is removed and their route is
the most direct line between
the tap assembly and the
HydroTap unit.
Do not allow the tubes to sag
or droop so water is trapped
within the hoses. Always
maintain a constant fall
Positioning of the tap assembly
must be within the following
parameters:
The height between the base of
the Hydrotap unit and the base
of the Tap assembly cannot be
greater than 900mm.
Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Refrigerant
The Zip HydroTap Chilling unit contains 134a refrigerant under pressure. No part
of the unit should be exposed to a naked flame. Maintenance of the refrigeration
unit must be carried out by an accredited service provider or qualified refrigeration
mechanic.
Qualifications
If the power cable is damaged it must be repaired only by a qualified technician. To
avoid hazards, all installation procedures must be carried out by a suitably qualified
tradesperson. The power cable and power outlet must be in a safe visible position for
connection.
The power supply cable must be adequately secured.
Do not remove the cover of the appliance under any circumstances without first
isolating the appliance from the power supply.
As the installer, it is your responsibility to supply (if necessary) and install all valves as
required by local regulations and relevant standards.
The plumbing installation must be done in accordance with local Water Authority
regulations and these Installation Instructions.
This appliance must be earthed.
Venting
Sometimes steam and / or boiling water may discharge through a vent outlet at the
mouth of the tap. If the tap is not installed using the Font pedestal, ensure the tap
body is located so the tap outlet safely drains into the sink bowl area.
NOTE: On startup, the controls take the system through a calibration process which
causes the unit to over-boil for a period of 90 seconds. Once this mode is completed
the system reverts back to normal operation.
Lifting
Take care when lifting the Zip HydroTap undersink unit. Some units may exceed safe
lifting guidelines. If you feel this is beyond your personal capabilities, please seek
assistance with the lift. The weights of the units are marked on the packaging and are
given in the table on page 7. Do not lift the unit by the doors.
Airflow
The ambient temperatures this unit should operate within are 5ºC - 35ºC.
Proper air circulation must be provided. The system will operate satisfactorily only
if the recommended air gaps are provided, these are 65mm min rear clearance
and 50mm side clearance. An air vent is provided with each unit for high usage
applications, this must be installed in the top half of the cupboard door as a matter of
course. An accessory exhaust fan kit is available and when supplied should always
be fitted to ensure adequate ventilation. Make sure that the ventilation grilles of the
undersink unit are not obstructed. Included in the installation pack are adhesive
backed silicon buffers. If air vents are not installed in the cupboards housing the
HydroTap, the buffers must be placed on the inside edge of the cupboard door to
create a slight gap ensuring a minimum airflow. Failure to do this may cause the
HydroTap to overheat and operate inefficiently.

Altitude
The Zip HydroTap is equipped with a self-calibrating program which caters for
altitude adjustment.
Filter Control
The Zip HydroTap filter control is preset to 6000 litres to provide trouble-free flow
and operation in most installations. Local water quality conditions may require an
alteration to this capacity. In areas where the water has a high concentration of
sediment, the preset litre capacity may be shortened to avoid poor flow, taste or
odour situations. In areas where the water quality is above average, lengthening
the preset capacity may be desirable, but not essential. If any of these changes is
needed, follow the instructions on page 16 or contact your Zip Service Provider.
Frost Protection
If this appliance is located where the ambient air temperature could fall below
5ºC when the heater is not in use, do not turn off the appliance electrically. This
safeguard does not offer the same protection to the connecting pipework and
fittings.
Environment Considerations
This unit is intended for indoor use only and should never be installed outdoors or
exposed to the elements of nature. This unit must not be positioned in an area that
may be cleaned by a water jet and must not be cleaned by a water jet.
Warning:
Zip HydroTaps are designed to operate within 1ºC to 2ºC of set point for boiling
water and at 5ºC to 15ºC for chilled drinking water. All boiling water units are
self calibrating to 98ºC, which is the recommended setting. Adjustments to the
recommended setting of 98ºC setting are not advised, however, under certain
circumstances adjustments may be made between 68º - 100ºC . The 100ºC setting
is not recommended as units may discharge or boil over more frequently.
For details see step G on page 12.
Caution must be observed when changing any settings within the Service
Menu as any changes may affect the normal operation of the unit.
Note:
Always ensure the silicone tubes are shortened so that any excess is removed
and their route is the most direct line between the tap assembly and the
HydroTap unit.
Do not allow the tubes to sag or droop so water is trapped within the hoses.
Always maintain a constant fall.
Positioning of the tap assembly must be within the following parameters:
The height between the base of the Hydrotap unit and the base of the Tap
assembly cannot be greater than 900mm.

• When installing a Font unit:
• 108mm diameter sheet metal or hole saw to suit surface being cut.
Step A - Installing the (Boiling / Chilled) HydroTap outlet
(see options P19)
1. Make sure that the tap location will allow the nozzle to drain into the
sink.
2. Cut a 35mm hole in the bench / sink top.
3. Ensure the black plastic spacer remains in place as this is the moisture
seal against the bench / sink top. A light smearing of silicon sealant
on the underside of the spacer will ensure a watertight fit.
4. Pass all three hoses through the 35mm hole and carefully locate the
Head Assembly and black spacer on the bench / sink area.
5. From the underside of the bench / sink area install the S/S washer
and “Spider Clamp” by feeding each of the three tubes and electrical
cable evenly in between the legs of the “Spider Clamp”. Slide it up
to meet the “All Thread”, and pass the “All Thread” through the centre
of the “Spider Clamp”.
6. Hold the “All Thread” steady and fit the 6mm nut to the “All Thread”
using the tube spanner supplied in the kit. Check the Tap Head position
before securing it tightly against the bench / sink top.
NOTE 1: The tap assembly must not be positioned more than 900mm

Installation Procedure continued
Step B - Installing the (Hot / Cold) Mixer tap outlet
(see P20 options)
The approved vented tapware, as supplied must be used. It is advisable to
fit the tap to the sink before installing the undersink unit. Do not dismantle
the assembled tap body during installation. Mixer taps are factory tested and
sealed to provide optimum performance.
The sqaure tap option will require the spout to be fitted to the the tap body.
Carefully insert the spout into the tap body and push fully home. Tighten the
grub screw using the supplied Hex Key. Do not overtighten the grub screw, the
spout should be able to swivel without interference from the grub screw.
Before connection, it is recommended to flush water supply pipes thoroughly
to remove any silt or fines.
1. Make sure the tap location will allow the nozzle to drain into the sink.
2. Cut a 35mm hole in the bench / sink top.
3. Screw the 2 Braided hoses to the underside of the mixer tap, ensure that
each are firmly attached and in the correct colour or marking sequence.
See the diagram below for correct orientation.
4. Fasten the mixer tap body to the sink using the bolt & plate system
provided.
5. After the tap has been secured in place, screw the ½” tube (Fig. A-6) into
the remaining position on the underside of the mixer tap.
6. Connect the unmarked braided hose to the incoming cold water supply
using the tee piece (Fig. A-3) and restrictaflow (Fig. A-4).
7. Connect the clear hose to the top of the venturi (Fig. A-1) and join the
other end to the check valve (Fig. A-5) and connection pipe (Fig. A-6).
8. Connect the braided hose with a BLUE band to the elbow (Fig. A-2) on the
lower end of the venturi (Fig. A-1).
Step C - Installing the undersink unit
SPECIAL NOTE: The HydroTap undersink units are heavy, take note of the
weights listed in the table on page 7. If you think you cannot lift the unit
safely, get help and avoid possible injury.
Before positioning the heater connect the braided water inlet hose (supplied)
from the cold water tee piece (see item 3 in Fig.A) to the cold water inlet at the
rear of the unit.
Position the Zip HydroTap undersink unit as close as possible to directly
beneath the Zip HydroTap tap head. The connection tubes supplied with the
tap head assembly CANNOT be lengthened.
Leave at least a 50mm air-gap without obstruction on each side of the unit
and 65mm at the rear
The following instruction is CRITICAL:
Adjust both cupboard door hinges and attach the supplied rubber door buffers
to the doors to create a 4mm air-gap between the doors and the cupboard.
This is the minimum ventilation requirement for low usage installations.
Proper air circulation must be provided for all Boiling and Chilled models. The
system will operate correctly only if the recommended air gaps are achieved
during installation. A ventilation hole measuring 100mm must be cut into the
top half of the cupboard door to accommodate the air vent provided.
Make sure that the undersink unit ventilation grilles are not obstructed in any
way.
Cupboard ventilation for Boiling only models is recommended.

Installation Procedure continued
Once this step is complete (approx 5 minutes) the unit will default to normal
operation.
When starting, both Boiling and Chilled cycles activate simultaneously after
calibration has taken place, the descriptions below indicate what happens during
each cycle.
Boiling
The unit is now running in normal operating mode. The Red LED will flash until
usable temperature is reached.
Before using the HydroTap wait 5 minutes after this point to allow adequate fill
time. The unit is now ready for use. Test water delivery from the tap and check for
appropriate temperatures. Use cable clips to tidy and secure wiring.
Chilled
When water and power is turned On, the Blue LED flashes slowly on the Tap Head assembly. The compressor activates
and water begins to fill the chiller tank at the prescribed rate. When the water is chilled to 15ºC the Blue LED on the Tap
Head assembly stops flashing and stays illuminated. The compressor continues to chill down to 5ºC when it will cycle Off.
Ensure that the clock matches your local time. If not refer to page 17. If Energy Saver Settings are required, the
instructions for installing these are described on page 17 “Setting the Energy Saver Timer”.

1. Position the Font template (provided) on the bench area. Ensure the
position you select is within the length of the supply tube and USB cable
fixed to the Tap Head Assembly. These cannot be extended.
2. Check again for correct positioning. The supply hoses must have
constant fall back to the tank assembly. Cut the holes as shown on the
template.
3. Once holes are cut, locate the Font base in position, from the underside,
lightly tighten the securing rod with the nut and washer provided.
4. Apply a light smear of silicon sealant to the underside of the black base
ring, this will provide a water tight seal against the Font base when
clamped. * Ensure the plastic spacer is correctly located under the Font.
5. Now take the Tap Head Assembly. Feed the hoses and USB cable
through the Font base, then through the plastic spacer that sits under
the font base but on the bench top. This stops warping of the base
plate. Ensure the Tap spout is directly centred over the Font drain. Fit
the “Spider Clamp”, nut and washer onto the “All Thread”. Have all the
supply tubes and USB cable located evenly between the “Spider Clamp”
legs. When satisfied with the positioning, tighten the fixing nut with the
Tube Spanner provided in the kit.
6. Tighten the securing pin so the Font base is flush with the bench top.
NOTE: The fixing nut above the drain elbow can be loosened to correctly
position the direction of the elbow. Ensure when the re-positioning is
complete the nut is re-tightened to ensure a water tight seal.
7. Connect a drain hose (22mm ID) from the Font base outlet elbow to the
closest drain trap spigot available. If a spigot is not available use the
snap on spigot and worm drive clamps supplied in the kit. (Instructions
and diagrams are supplied in the kit).
8. Ensure the positioning of the snap-on spigot is on the “sink” side of the
trap and not the “waste” side. Once positioned, a hole (13mm ID) will
need to be drilled to provide waste access to the drain line. The snap-on
unit will require suitable sealant to keep it water tight against the waste
pipe. Finish by fitting the worm drive clamps tightly on either side of the
spigot and fitting worm drive clamps to either end of the drain hose.
The drain hose from the Font must have constant fall
9. Connect the Tap head Assembly supply hoses and vent as per the
instructions contained in the installation procedure section of this
document.
NOTE: A stainless steel washer is supplied to go in between the Spider
Clamp and the underside of the benchtop. See location as shown.

Operating the Mixer Tap
The Mixer tap is operated as a conventional ‘Flick Mixer’
Lifting the handle up will increase the flow rate and lowering the handle will
reduce the flow rate. Push the handle all the way down to turn the tap off. (For
Standard and Tall tap) For Square tap pulling the handle backwards away from
the tap body increases the flow and pushing forwards towards the tap body
decreases the flow.
When the handle is moved to the left, the temperature is increased and when
moved to the right the temperature is decreased. The final temperature will be
dependant on the temperature of the incoming cold water.
The spout may be swivelled, left or right, for convenience.
