CONNECTING THE WATER SERVICES
Refer to the current requirements of The Model Water Bylaws 1986
Statutory Instrument (SI) No.1147.
8. The water supply should be taken from a 15mm rising main at a pressure of between
0.1MPa to 0.8 MPa and should be fitted with a stopcock to isolate the supply during
servicing. A 15mm double backcheck valve, with inspection port, should be fitted to the
flexible hose. The mains Water Supply should be fitted with a suitable water blocker.
9. The outlet should be fitted with BSP connections and must be positioned within 1.5m of the
machine to ensure correct fitting of the hose. If possible, the outlet should be located behind
the machine to prevent misuse.
10. Before connecting the machine hose to the mains outlet, flush the system, via the stopcock,
to remove any impurities that may have accumulated in the mains supply pipe.
11. Connect the machine hose to the mains outlet using the seals supplied and ensure that all
fittings are tight. Turn on the water supply at the stopcock and check for leaks, both behind
and inside the machine. The water supply should be fitted with appropriate water blocker.
IF THE EQUIPMENT WAS SUPPLIED WITH A MAINS WATER HOSE, THIS HOSE SHOULD
BE USED. DO NOT USE A HOSE FROM A PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED PRODUCT EVEN IF IT
WOULD FIT. TO DO SO COULD LEAD TO A HEALTH HAZZARD.
