WATER FITTINGS

The range of water fittings have been designed to meet the requirements of BS EN200:1992 (Specification for the performance of draw off taps with metal bodies for water service) and have been approved by the Water Research Council.

SPECIFICATION

Brass DIN 17660 with sealing in EPDM and PVDF. Wrist operated fittings have ceramic headwork's made of Al-oxide.

Handles of chemical resistant polypropylene, coloured to match the service medium in accordance with DIN EN 13792-2002.

All fittings are protected by a surface treatment of Polyester powder coat which is highly resistant to most chemicals.

Outlets
Serrated nozzles (removable) suitable for 8mm to 13mm ID rubber tubing or full bore anti-splash nozzle are fitted on request.

Installation
It is a condition of Approval of the XL range of Labtaps that the following information is given to our customers: "Supply shall be by gravity from a cistern by means of a disributing pipe which does not supply any other fitting at a lower level" (IRN 105) (Byelaws 22 and 25)

Also check with local water board their requirements regarding AUK 3 back flow prevention regulations.

All water systems should be thoroughly flushed before use.

Testing
All fittings are tested and inspected before dispatch.

Maximum design working pressure is 1000 kPa (10 bar).

The maximum installation test pressure is 1000 kPa (10 bar).

Please note the following information

Single Water Fittings
All FIXED swan neck fittings will be supplied with a FIXED nozzle with right-handed operation, coded for cold water unless otherwise specified. All SWIVEL swan neck fittings will be supplied with a REMOVABLE nozzle and coded for cold water unless otherwise specified.

Mixer Fittings
A balanced tank storage water supply for BOTH hot and cold services is required for all non-divided flow mixer fittings.

Direct mains cold water supply may ONLY be used with the XL1223 (divided flow) mixer.

NOTE: Maximum Test Pressure: 1000 kPa (10 bar)

Maximum Working Pressure: 1000 kPa (10 bar)

If water fittings are to be installed in an area where robust use or vandalism may occur we would recommend the use of anti-rotational plate XL1171-0. This will prevent the fitting from being turned on the work top.
