INSTALLATION
OF A SUPERVALVE |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Although
the installation is very similar to the conventional inlet valve we recommend
that you study the installation diagram carefully prior to the installation
and follow the steps as shown.
A few
important points should be observed particularly where they pertain
to existing construction.
Before
proceeding to splice into an existing circuit always make sure that
the circuit is switched off! Wiring must always be connected COLOR to
COLOR, GROUND to GROUND, with approved electrical wire and wire connectors
only. Do not overload the circuit into which the supervalves will be
spliced. A hole of approx. 5/8" in diameter must be drilled in
the plate close to the pipe, so that the electrical wire can be easily
pulled through.(see
illustration no.3) Affix the included wall clip as per instructions
to hold the assembly in
place while wiring is connected to the inlet valve.
For
new construction
A
15 Amp. circuit should be dedicated to the inlet valves. You may prefer
to consult an electrical contractor to install the electrical wire run
while he is still on the building site.

Cut hole (2
3/8" by 4 3/8") into floor at desired location and screw mounting
plate from below to underside of floor. Connect tube to mounting plate
with a short 90" ell (Stock No. 2004-HXH )
Connect
low-voltage wire to lugs on Inlet Valve and screw Inlet Valve into place.

Connect
coupling (Stock No. 2010-HXH )to mounting plate. Insert a 1" sleeve
of tube (shown as dotted line) between coupling and short 90" ell.
Connect to tube. Repeat step "B" of fig. 1.

 Illustration 3 |
Cut 2 1/2"
hole dead center through bottom plate and floor with the edge of the
hole 1/4" from stud. Push tube through opening from below. Nail
1041 mounting plate at desired height with plaster-guard facing room.
Push tube through opening from below. Connect tube with a short 90"
ell to mounting plate, using the increments for proper 90" alignment.
Bend low-voltage
wire behind mounting plate, leaving enough length to permit future connection
to lugs on the Inlet Valve. Strap low voltage wire to tubing with cable
ties.
A temporary
cardboard dust-cover is available to prevent construction debris entering
the installed system. The dust-cover may be imprinted with the name
or corporate logo of the installing company.

Install
mounting plates at desired location, slip a short 90" ell over
the spigot projecting from the back of the mounting plate. Use the 45"
increments on back of mounting plate and line up with the 45" increment
on the short 90" ell for true 45" alignment.
Insert
a 2 1/4" pipe sleeve and slip into a 45" ell (Stock No. 2008-HXH
) again using the 45" increments for proper 45" alignment.
Insert pipe into upper hub of 45" ell. Repeat Step "B"
of Fig. 1.

LOCATION
FOR YOUR INLET VALVE |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 Illustration 6 |
To drill pilot
hole, first establish the location for your Inlet Valve! To find an un-obstructed
section in wall (between studs), tap with your finger on wallboard until
it sounds hollow. Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill a pilot hole right
through floor directly below the selected location and as close to the
baseboards as possible. Insert a coat hanger wire or equivalent into hole
so that it projects below floor boards. From underneath floor, measure
from coat hanger to center of 2" x 4" plate, allowing for thickness
of baseboard and wall covering. Drill 2 1/2" hole directly in the
center of 2" x 4". |

CONNECTING
TO MOUNTING PLATE |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Slip short
90" ell over projecting spigot at back of mounting plate. Grasp
mounting plate between forefinger, middle finger and thumb. Tilt mounting
plate top first upward into wall opening until completely inside wall.
Pull towards
you until mounting plate fits snug into opening, and secure it firmly
in place with the use of the metal WALL CLIP, as shown in inset of illustration
8.

Connect low-voltage wire to lugs on back of Inlet Valve. Hold entire assembly
in place with a coat hanger wire while twisting the Inlet valve onto the
mounting plate. Do not glue, as rubber seal ring provides maximum air-tightness.
Line up mounting-screw holes and screw Inlet Valve to mounting plate.
NOTE:
The use of the 90" ell (Stock No. 2004-HXH) is or4" walls, while
the Special Short 90" Ell (Stock No. 2021-HXS) should be used for
3" walls. .
