General Guidelines
This product has been tested to the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS)
and satisfies the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations 1999 and current bylaws. For full Installation Requirements &
Notes (IRN) please visit
www.wras.co.uk/directory.
Designed to comply with BS EN 200 for combination taps to be used within
systems designed to BS 6700.
BS 6700 recommends the temperature of stored water should never exceed 65°C.
A stored water temperature of 60°C is considered sufficient to meet all normal
requirements and will minimise the build up of lime scale in hard water areas.
If the fitting is installed at low pressure (tank fed), then the minimum
distance from the highest installed position of the outlet to the underside of
the cold tank should be at least 2 metres to ensure adequate performance.
The tap supplied with this product should be installed in compliance with the
Water Regulations. Where the supplies are unbalanced, i.e. Hot water from
cylinder tank / cold from the mains, approved check valves must be fitted in
the supply pipes.
For further details contact your Local Water Authority.
When installing this product, it is expected that the first fix pipework will
have been installed and the general design and accomodation will already be
known.
