Spare Parts & Warranty
Overview of Installation
There are three main components to the system, the dispensing head, the canister and the heating tank. The dispensing head comes with three 1/4” copper tubes and one silicone tube. The two shorter (12”) copper tubes are connected to the incoming water supply via the canister. The supply to the cold side may be diverted through a chiller before the dispensing head, if required. The longer (18”) copper tube is connected to the inlet of the tank. The silicone tube is connected to the outlet of the tank using the hose connector.
Preparing for the Installation
As with any sink related device, it is much easier to mount the dispensing head of this system onto the sink before the sink is mounted into the countertop. A mounting hole of 1 3/8” diameter (standard sink ledge drilling) is required.
It is always recommended to take the components and locate their optimum positions before starting the installation.
IMPORTANT: Do not plug in the unit until all water connections have been made and the tank is filled completely.
Making the Supply Provision
Provide a branch compression connection for a 3/8” supply tube. This should be done with a conventional tee and the
