INSTALLING THE LWSS UNIT
Choose a flat even surface. Wooden bearers are not essential as the unit sits on a ring stand. The unit must be installed vertically.
Please install in an area that will be accessible in the future. When first fixing take into account that the connections and controls will be front facing to facilitate access.
Check that the floor will support the unit when it is full of water. See page 14 for weights.
COLD FEED
Minimum mains pipework of 25mm MDPE or 22mm copper is advised. If 15mm copper or 1/2" lead is the only mains feed then the decision to install rests with the installer or specifier of the product. Flow rates will be compromised, even at appropriate pressures, ensure that you have at least 18 litres per minute at the bath tap. Maximum inlet pressure is 12 bar.
If multiple bath filling or showering is required, mains feed may need to be 32mm MDPE or 28mm copper.
The unit operates at 3 bar and pressures from 2 bar upwards are suitable. Lower pressure will result in a fall in flow rate. A flow rate of 20 litres per minute is a minimum requirement for single bath applications and must rise proportionately for greater demands.
