The appliance is designed to serve a variety of hot
water draw off points including washing machines
and showers. The appliance can be connected to all
hot water draw-off points in the installation. If more
than one outlet is open simultaneously the total flow
of water cannot exceed that quoted in the Technical
D
ata.
The appliance is comptatible with most current auto-
matic washing machines but care should be taken to
ensure that the machine is capable of accepting
water at the design flow of the appliance. Hot and
cold fill machines normally require a hot water tem-
perature of 60° C (140 °F), the appliance producing
approximately 6.5 l/min (1.44 gpm) at this tempera-
ture. The advice of the washing machine manufactu-
rers should be sought but generally it is only neces-
sary to remove the water flow restrictor (if fitted) in
the hot water inlet connection of the machine to
obtain a satisfactory appliance operation.
D
o not use the appliance with push on hand showers
that fit over existing hot and cold water taps or with
mixer taps unless both supplied come from the
same source. Showers forming part of bath mixers
are not recommended for satisfactory operation of
the appliance.

The following notes are for general guidance only.
(i) The appliance performance may be affected if the
installation has old pipework forming dead-legs
or air reservoirs. Always ensure that any old pipe-
work is either removed or capped off immediate-
ly adjacent to the pipework that will be in use.
(ii) The size of the pipework between the
appliance and the various draw-off points should
be sized to ensure an adequate flow at draw-off
points when used individually.
(iii) A check should be made of all stop cocks in the
incoming supply and it should be ensured that
they are of the fixed jumper pattern. Loose jum-
pers can be pinned or soldered into the position.

The appliance can be used to supply hot water to a
separate shower draw-off. The appliance should not
be used to supply mor
e than one shower mixing
valve. The recommended pipework arrangement for
a single shower head is shown above and the hot
supply to the mixing valve should be the first draw
of

(iii) If the appliance is installed on a supply or distri-
bution pipe containing a non-return valve, combina-
tions of check valve, or any equipment containing
such devices, then provision must be hade to acco-
modate an expansion of at least 4 % of the volume
of water contained within the installation.
(V) Expansion vessels must be fitted on the supply
pipe between the non-return valve, combinations of
check valve, or any equipment containing such
devices and the appliance.
