Installation & maintenance instructions.

General Information

  • Designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to elements of nature.
  • All plumbing and electrical connection must be made in accordance with AUS / NZ standards.

Warnings

  • Read all instructions before attempting to install this system. It is recommended a qualified & registered plumber completes the install.
  • Ensure pipe work is thoroughly flushed before installing the faucet (internal solenoid). Solenoid components are susceptible to debris and require additional flushing compared to a standard plumbing fixture.

Planning

  • Ensure an appropriate piping design (sizing etc). This will eliminate issues arising from flow, pressure and water hammering.
  • Where appropriate install necessary filters, water hammering arrestors and water pressure reducing valves (recommended pressure 1 to 6 bar). This will minimise future maintenance.
  • Install the angle valve to enable ease of future maintenance.

Tempered Water

An appropriate thermostatic mixing valve (TMV3) should be installed to ensure a safe regulated water temperature. These are available from SPL – SST THERMO VALVE
