Water Supply

• Water supply with a 3/4” washing machine tap on each connection for each pump

• Water supply needs to be 400mm from the floor and at least 80mm from wall so we can fit the filter and pump connectors.

Pump Sizes

• H 365mm x D 240mm x W 181mm

• Please allow adequate room for the connections at the rear of the pump at least 200mm in the back and 100mm in the front and sides.

Smartscan Hydra Head

• These Heads are installed in the wall at 1400mm high from the floor.

• The Head is designed to be affixed into a hole 90mm wide x 117mm high and 57mm deep.

• If using a Back Box, the hole dimensions area as follows 95mm wide x 120mm high & 60mm deep

Cables & Hoses

• Cables installed at first fix in the ceiling need to be visible when we return to commission so the engineer can connect to heat detectors

• Once client has plastered and painted and ready for commissioning the system, the high-pressure hoses installed at first fix will need to be loose in the wall cavity so our engineers will be able to pull it out of the wall at least 2 inches to install the head

Heat Detectors

The Heat Detectors Installed are mains operated with Battery Back-Up - If the mains are turned off for a period of time the batteries will drain and start beeping and will need replacing at a cost to the client as this does not fall under the Warranty.
