WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS
LISTED ON PAGE 3 BEFORE CONTINUING WITH INSTALLATION.
WARNING: BEFORE CONNECTING THE PIPE WORK TO THE IL095,
ENSURE THAT THE PIPE WORK IS FULLY FLUSHED OUT.
Fitting the pipes
• The unit should be connected directly to the main cold water supply.
• We recommend that you use Ø15mm copper or stainless steel pipe for the inlet and outlet
connections.
• Use PTFE tape for making screw joints. Do not use a jointing compound.
• Remember to keep the hot water pipe runs as short as possible.
In some cases, it may be worth fitting a second unit.
• If the unit is to supply more than one basin outlet, the head should be the same at each outlet if
they are to be used at the same time.
If not, one outlet will take all the water.
• When the pipework has been plumbed in, flush it through with water before you connect the
unit, to remove any swarf or loose particles.
Connecting the unit to the pipes
• The inlet and outlet are clearly marked on the unit.
They each have a Ø15mm straight shank connections.
• The unit comes with a service valve (diagram 5) which should be fitted on the inlet of the unit.
The valve can be used to turn off the water supply to the unit if it needs servicing, or to reduce
the main supply flow if it is too high.
Fitting the attachments
• If the unit is to supply a shower, you will also need a “Dimplex Mixer Unit”.
Available in chrome/white finish and suitable for surface or concealed pipe entry (see page 9).
• If the unit is to supply a shower, and the shower handset can reach water in a bath or basin, you
must fit a vacuum breaker to comply with Water By-laws.
Vacuum breakers are available from our sales office (see page 9).
Alternatively, use the hose-retaining feature built into the soapdish.
Because water can sometimes seep through, you should position the vacuum breaker where
dripping will not do any damage.
• If the unit is to supply a basin, we recommend that you use spray taps, which you can get from
your local stockist (not Dimplex supplied).
