Installation
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
- Air Gap
TOOLS/MATERIALS YOU MAY REQUIRE
- Marker pen
- Tape measure
- Saw
- Screws for mounting
- Solvent weld glue
INSTALLATION – TAAG01, TAAG101 & TAAG201
- Select an installation point for your Air Gap. This must be a vertical section of pipe after your tank overflow. Where practical, we recommend installing your Air Gap at shoulder height toprovide more convenient access for maintenance. Consider whether your stor mwater is a wetor “charged” line to determine the appropriate minimum installation height.
- Remove a 142mm section of pipe at your desired installation point. The Air Gap incorporates two 90mm female sockets that glue directly to 90mm pipe. If you’re using adaptors to fit the Air Gap to your existing, non-90mm pipe, you may need to remove an additional length of pipe to allow for these adaptors. Ensure all cut edges are clean and smooth.
- Orient your Air Gap so it is the right way up. To do this, refer to the “Install this side facing up” instructions on the product.
- Apply solvent weld glue to inside the sockets of the Air Gap or adaptors and also outside of each pipe. 5 – Fit the Air Gap into position and insert both pipes into the sockets and hold until glue sets.

Maintenance
Remove the insect proof screens by pulling the handle and clean off any build
up of debris.
We recommend regularly inspecting your Air Gap’s mosquito-proof screens to
remove any built-up dirt or debris.
Both screens can be easily removed for cleaning. To remove the top mosquito proof screen, simply turn it clockwise until it’s released. To remove the bottom mosquito-proof screen, simply lift it up. Hose or brush off both screens, then replace after cleaning. Ensure both screens are secure to maintain a mosquito-proof barrier.
A common misconception about collecting rainwater is that all you need is a
roof, a tank and some rain. This ‘tanking’ approach cannot always be relied on
to deliver the volume – or quality – of water that you require. That is where
we can help.
With some thought, your rain harvesting system can provide you with cleaner
water and lots of it. Whether you’re completely reliant on tank water or
wanting to keep the garden green, our simple steps will help you achieve your
goal.
The Rain Harvesting approach to rainwater collection involves using tested and
proven products to make quality rainwater available for use in and around your
property. You don’t need much to get started and you will be surprised how
easy it is to get the most out of your rainwater system.
