Determine Unit Location
Plan the installation. Dispenser tube lengths,
position of power and water outlets, required
air space around the underbench module and
access for service must be considered before
cutting tube lengths. Refer to Diagrams 1 and 2.
Unit must be installed horizontally with display
panel facing to front of cupboard. The B-4000 is
designed for internal installation only.

Water Supply
The B-4000 must only be connected to a cold
water supply. A ½” BSP stop tap (not supplied)
is to be installed in an easily accessible position
within 600mm from the B-4000 water
supply inlet.
Dynamic water supply pressure:
Min. 250 kPa, max. 1000 kPa.
Minimum water supply: 6 l/m at 250 kPa
Supply temp: min. 5°C, max. 30°C.
* Where supply pressure is greater than 500
kPa a PLV must be fitted. Billi recommends
PLV’s with anti-hammer properties.
Do not install with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or with water of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system. Systems certified
for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected
water that may contain filterable cysts.
Power Requirements
A single 10 amp standard power outlet
is required. A dedicated circuit should be
provided and must be fitted with an earth
leakage protection device (RCD).
An externally
fitted RCD device is acceptable.
The B-4000 is

1. Install Dispenser Assembly
Determine position of dispenser mounting
hole in sinktop or benchtop. Dispenser
base template (Diagram 4) may be cut
out and used t
o assist in correct positioning.
Refer to Diagram 2 for clearances allowed.
Hole size required is ø32mm.
—Stainless Steel Sinktop
A suitable 32mm hole punch (Part no: 857901)
is available as an accessory from Billi
Australia Pty Ltd. If possible, cut hole with die
mounted below the sinktop surface so that
burr is pulled downwards. Alternatively,
remove burr and radius edge of hole with fine
file. This allows barbed dispenser mount to
slide smoothly into mounting hole.
—Timber/Laminate Benchtop
Maximum benchtop thickness is 50mm
Cut 35mm hole in appropriate position*.
When drilling through a particle board bench
top, take care to avoid a large chip breaking
away as drill breaks through underside
surface. We recommend drilling a small
pilot hole through benchtop, partially drilling
the 35mm hole from underneath and then
completing drilling the hole from above.
The large 30mm washer supplied may
be used to secure barb where underside
particle board bench top has chipped away.
* For granite or marble benchtops we
recommend you use a certified stone
mason to pre-drill the hole.
2. Activate Dispenser Swivel Feature
To activate the swivel feature of your
dispenser, you will need to remove the
locking piece from the dispenser base.
Simply push out the piece as show in
Diagram 5. This will allow the tap to
move 45 degrees to the left and right.
3. Fit Dispenser Base
a. Cut a 32mm hole in sinktop or benchtop.
Remove burr if protruding upwards.
b. Push barbed mounting shaft through
mount hole.
c. Insert barb locking bush as shown
in Diagram 6. Finger tighten nut.
d. Ensure barb is centred in mount hole
before tightening. Check position of
base ring and gasket.
e. Moderately tighten locking nut using
multigrips or spanner. Take care to avoid
overtightening nut which may break the
plastic threaded shaft.
f. Place large D washer over thread as
shown in Diagram 7.
g. Cut off excess threaded shaft with a
hacksaw, using washer as a cutting guide.
IMPORTANT: Remove burrs and check internal
bore is completely smooth.
4. Fit Dispenser Head Assembly
a. Feed dispenser tubing and loom through
centre hole in the following order:
i. Dispenser power cord.
ii. Silicone tubes
b. Gently pull hoses from under the bench
top, do not attempt to force tubing through
with a pointed object as silicone tube is
easily punctured. Check tubing is not
kinked or twisted.
c. Turn dispenser head assembly to
approximately 60° from the straight
ahead position of dispenser base.
Slide head assembly onto base assembly
whilst gently pulling tubing downwards
from underneath to prevent tubing
bunching and kinking. Mounting lugs
will pass nut and slide down the 3
grooves on the swivel bearing.
d. Once fully down, turn dispenser to
straight ahead position. Fit chrome
plated M4 retaining screw to lower
rear threaded hole and tighten using the
allen key supplied. If swivel feature is
activated, check dispenser now swivels
smoothly 45° in each direction.

Determine Remote Panel Location
Dimensions and layout are shown in
diagram 9. Panel can be installed on a
wall, benchtop or even inside a cupboard
Minimum cut out dimensions are 121mm
height x 70mm width. Minimum depth
must be 20mm.
Cut out cavity into the plaster wall.
Ensure the cable is pre-installed into the
flush mount bracket before plastering.
Place the flush bracket into the plaster
wall with the cable gap facing towards the
ground.
Installing the Remote Panel
Cable must be protruding out of the
bottom of bracket – see diagram 9.
Tape up the cable terminals before
plastering process – see diagram 10.
Determine Remote Panel Location
Cut out cable access hole in the desired
location.
Hole size must be Width 25mm x Height
45mm – see diagram 13.
Drill a pilot hole using bracket as a
template. The template could also be
used as a guide to cut into the plaster.
Install Mount Bracket
Fasten the mount bracket on to the
wall using phillips head screwdriver
(ensure the spring clips are facing up)
– see diagram 14.
Diagram 10
Plaster and Paint
Start plastering as required.
Wait for the plaster to dry before cleaning
the bracket.
Use a light sandpaper to give smooth
finish on the drywall.
Then paint as required.
Completing Installation
Take the tape off the cable connector and
plug it into the panel – see diagram 11
The panel and bracket are magnetic.
Upon install, the magnets will pull
together and secure the module into
place in place – see diagram 11.
Installation is finished – see diagram 12.
Magnetic remover tool may be
required again. Do not throw away.

Turn On the Water Supply
Turn on water supply and ensure that there are
no leaks. Remove front panel of unit and remove
packing foam from under filter canister. Ensure
filter canister is securely locked back into place.
Replace front panel.
Power On
When power is applied the system checks
the water level in the hot tank and if empty
(below the low level sensor) then the unit
will enter the boiling point calibration mode.
This will normally only occur the first time
a new system is turned on.
On power ON, if the hot tank level sensor
is above the low level sensor, the unit will
enter its normal operating mode at full power.
This will happen when the system has been
installed and used at least once.
IMPORTANT: On initial power up, leave the unit
for 10 minutes before attempting user setup.
Boiling Point Calibration
The hot tank will first fill to the height of the
low level sensor. The water is then heated until
it reaches boiling point. The unit will continue
to boil for up to 30 seconds while the
temperature sensor calibrates.
WARNING: Steam and small amounts of
hot water may be discharged from the taps
and vent during this period.
While calibration is underway the hot
water indicator (red) will double blink rapidly.
The hot water set point is calibrated 0.5°C
below the boiling point. Once calibrated,
the unit will resume normal operations
and the calibration data is saved.
The unit will not re-calibrate under normal
circumstances. If a repeated calibration is
required the following procedure should be
followed:
– turn the water supply off
– run the hot water until the hot tank is empty
– turn the power off for 5 seconds, then on again
– turn water supply on
– the unit will then re-calibrate its boiling point.
Re-check Connections for Leaks
Explain Operation to User
1. Flush Water Supply
Flush water supply pipework before installing
the underbench unit by connecting 600mm
flexible braided hose to the supply tap and
running water into a bucket. Blockages/unit
malfunction caused by debris are not covered
under warranty.
2. Install Underbench Unit
Take care to observe minimum clearances.
Ensure there is adequate access to service
the unit, taking into account the tube lengths
and space available Refer Diagram 1, page 2.
3. Connect Dispenser Tubing
and Electrical Plug
IMPORTANT: Boiling outlet (red), vent tube
(grey) must not be kinked and must be installed
with a continual fall and no sag.
Connect all tubing and electrical plug as
shown in diagram 17 & 18.
Ensure correct orientation of dispenser
power plug before insertion. Trim tubes to
correct lengths using a sharp knife or plastic
tube cutter. Avoid leaving excess tubing which
will sag, trapping water. Fit spring clamps
supplied to retain silicone rubber tubing to
barbed fittings.
