1.1 The Speediboil stores and dispenses water at or close to boiling point
at all times it is switched on. Due caution must be taken when choosing a
location for the product to minimise misuse. Locate the unit over a draining
board, NOT over the sink or basin.
1.2 Push t connectors DO NOT grip chromed or stainless pipe.
1.3 The Speediboil is a vented water heater. The vent pipe must never be
blocked or obstructed, it must be a minimum of 15mm outside
diameter pipe. Where the vent pipe length exceeds 3m, the
pipe diameter should be increased. The vent pipe must be laid to
a continuous fall and discharge in a safe and visible position; it
must discharge via a tundish or nish a minimum of 20mm above
a draining board. The vent pipe material must be capable
of conveying boiling water. The vent pipe must never be connected
directly to a soil pipe.
1.4 Wherever possible the Speediboil should be supplied directly
from a rising main. If fed from a cold water feed cistern, the cistern
must comply with the Water Regulations Guide (clause R27.2). It
should be noted that water quality may be reduced when supplied
from a cistern and additional forms of water pre-treatment may be
necessary.
1.5 In hard water areas, heated water will produce lime scale which will
be deposited within the heater. If this is not regularly removed, it will
impair the operation of the heater. Where rapid and excessive scale
build up is likely to occur, the use of a proprietary scale reducing
device may be benecial.
1.6 The installation must be carried out in accordance with the
relevant requirements of:
• The appropriate Building Regulations either The Building
Regulations (England & Wales), The Building Regulations (Scotland)
or Building Regulations (Northern Ireland).
• The Water Fittings Regulations or Water Byelaws in Scotland.
1.7 The Speediboil will adjust for ambient (room) temperatures of
between 1°C and 40°C.
1.8 When not in use, care must be taken to prevent the unit from freezing;
if thought to be frozen, it must not be switched on. It must be left to
thaw and must then be thoroughly inspected to ensure it is totally
thawed and undamaged.
1.9 The unit is not suitable for installation in an area where a water jet
could be used.
