Determine unit location
Plan the installation. Dispenser tube lengths,
benchtop and cupboard restraints and drainage
requirements must be considered when
determining location. Use template enclosed
for drilling and cut-out details. Refer also to
appliance installation requirements supplied
with Drinking Water System.
Drainage location
Careful design and installation is essential
to provide satisfactory drainage performance
and to prevent later blockages. The Billi Font
is designed to be able to be connected to
a dishwasher nipple using either flexile or
rigid tubing or copper tubing. Where a
horizontal run is needed, we recommend
20mm or 25mm copper tubing be used.
An adapter bush is supplied for use where
a standard 40mm trap and drain is installed.
IMPORTANT
If drain is to be connected to a dishwasher
nipple, ensure hole through nipple is drilled
to at least ø12.7mm (1/2”) and de-burred,
to allow adequate flow.
Drain must be installed with a continual
fall along the entire length of the tube.
The Billi Fixture is to be installed by
a licensed tradesperson in accordance
with as 3500.4 Or AS/NZ 3500.4.2
And in compliance with applicable
state regulatory requirements.
