QUALIFICATIONS
At present, to be a plumber you need to follow the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) route (Scottish National Vocational Qualification – SNVQ – in Scotland). These qualifications are made up of theory and practical work in the classroom/purpose-built training facility and work-based experience with a working plumber. Colleges should help students find a work placement, although many students organise it themselves.
The S/NVQ qualification works in levels. All recently qualified plumbers should hold S/NVQ Level 2 as basic with Level 3 as the preferred level. Level 2 will give you the foundation you need for a career in plumbing and teach you domestic plumbing to a satisfactory level. Level 3 is more comprehensive and deals with domestic, commercial, and industrial plumbing along with aspects such as gas – if you want to one day set up your own business, this is the level to reach. The Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering, and the industry as a whole recommend that all plumbers reach a minimum of Level 3.
Reaching Level 3 has other advantages. The Institute runs a Master Plumber Certificate, which only those attaining Level 3 or equivalent can reach as long as they have the relevant experience as well. Those with S/NVQ Level 3 can (once in membership with the Institute for five years as a Member MIPHE) gain Engineering Technician EngTech status with the Engineering Council (UK).
MAINTENANCE
We recommend regular cleaning detergents specially designed to clean ceramic surfaces. Do not use products that have not been tested and have not been recommended to use on ceramics, such as acids, corrosive and abrasive products. These can and will damage the ceramic.
To remove or prevent the build-up of limescale deposits, clean regularly. Any build-up of limescale can be removed using a good quality limescale remover and a toiler cleaning brush. Important bleach will not remove limescale.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All measurements for roughing in should be taken from the finished wall and floor. Dimensions shown are nominal measurements only.
- Mark the positions of the water inlet and waste outlet.
- Mark out and drill floor bracket positions (90mm apart, 160mm from the wall). If installing an S trap outlet mark out the floor outlet position as detailed.
- Align and push the WC back to the wall, connecting the pan spigot into the waste bend and the WC inlet into the pipe.
- Check pan is level.
- Fix the pan by using the xing screws through the fixing holes into the floor brackets.
- Flush the pan to check connections for leaks.
- Apply flexible sealant around the base and rear of the WC as shown, and leave it to dry for 24 hours before use.
