2.5  The flushing procedure is as follows :-

2.6  During this procedure, keep the hot and cold water taps closed.

2.7  Close the hot and cold water ISOLATING VALVES.

2.8  Unscrew the END CAP (16) and remove the STRAINER BASKET (14) from the

strainer at the hot inlet.

2.9  Screw the FLUSHING KIT into the STRAINER BODY (13).

2.10  Place the outlet of the flushing pipe where it can drain freely. If draining into a

wash basin or bath, make sure that the plug is NOT in place and that water passing
through the flushing pipe is free to drain.

2.11  Open the hot water ISOLATING VALVE and allow any air in the  pipework to

escape until water begins to flow to drain. Allow water to flow to drain until it is
perfectly clean and free from any dirt or debris.

2.12  Close the hot water ISOLATING VALVE.

2.13  Remove the FLUSHING KIT and replace the STRAINER BASKET (14) and END

CAP (16).

2.14  Repeat for the cold water inlet.

2.15  Re-open both ISOLATING VALVES.

2.16  The flushing procedure has now been completed.
