INSTALLATION

INST

ALL

ATION

Preparation/placing the appliance in 

position.

Details of the recommended positions for 

termination of the first fix pipework are 

provided in the Technical Data section. The 

pipework can be located or its position 

checked using the template provided with 

each appliance.  If these have been followed 

installation is very simple and much quicker 

than any other system.

The appliance is supplied shrink wrapped on a 

timber installation base.  Carrying handles are 

also provided in the back of the casing. 

The feed and expansion cistern complete with 

ballvalve, cold feed/expansion and overflow/

warning fittings are provided in a separate 

box. If flexible connections have been ordered 

these will also be inside the feed and expansion 

cistern.

The appliance should be handled carefully 

to avoid damage and the recommended 

method is shown opposite. Before installation 

the site requirements should be checked and 

confirmed as acceptable.  The plastic cover 

and protective wrapping should be removed 

from the appliance and the installation base 

(provided) and placed in position.

The appliance can then be lifted into position 

in the cupboard on top of the base and the 

front panel removed by unscrewing the 2 

screws and lifting the door up and out, ready 

for connection of the pipework and electrical 

supplies. The feed and expansion cistern 

support shall be installed ensuring that the 

base is fully supported and the working 

head of the appliance is not exceeded and 

the recommended access is provided for 

maintenance - see the Technical Data section.  

For further information on manual handling 

See Appendix.

Note: Although the above guidance is provided 

any manual handling/lifting operations will 

need to comply with the requirements of the 

Manual Handling Operations Regulations 

issued by the H.S.E.

The appliance can be moved using a sack truck 

on the rear face although care should be taken 

and the route should be even.

In apartment buildings containing a number of 

storeys we would recommend that the appliances 

are moved vertically in a mechanical lift.

If it is proposed to use a crane expert advice 

should be obtained regarding the need for 

slings, lifting beams etc.

HANDLING

When lifting the unit work with someone of similar build and height if possible.

Choose one person to call the signals.

Lift from the hips at the same time, then raise the unit to the desired level.

Move smoothly in unison.

Larger units may require a team lift.

A specific manual handling assessment is shown in Appendix

at the rear of this manual.
