Buildings
• Service connections are usually pre-placed after planning and consultation with all interested parties. Installation is by
connection to the services provided.
• As the soil line (sewerage outlet) is the least flexible of all the connections, this usually influences the decision as to where
to place the WDS. If an existing soil line can be utilised this will represent a cost saving.
• The WDS is supplied as either a ‘S’ or ‘P’ Trap as nominated by the Purchaser. The ‘S’ Trap connects through the floor and
the ‘P’ Trap connects through the back wall. The trap section is easily removed if the wrong trap has been ordered. Refer
to Diagram C2 for trap connections.
Potential electromagnetic or other interference between other EQUIPMENT and devices can possibly affect the infra-red
hands free operation sensor. It is advisable to check all the equipment and devices in the intended installation area that
have infra-red operation. Electromagnetic interference can be prevented by installing the device in non-patient areas of
hospital (or similar).
