Important Information for Plumbers

Transcription

1 A joint government and industry program Licence No When tested in accordance with Standard AS/NZS 6400 For more information and to compare products, refer to: Important Information for Plumbers This section of the Plumbers Technical Manual has been expanded over previous issues to include more technical and installation information to assist the industry when specifying and installing Caroma Products. Caroma sanitaryware products have been designed to conform to the appropriate Australian product standards and to recognise the National Plumbing Code AS/NZS requirements in regard to service connections and performance. Installers should be aware that the requirements of the National Plumbing Code are minimum standards and are based upon the premise that all aspects of the installation are correct and without fault. Should there be any elements which are not within the restraints of the Code conditions, such as trueness of bore, incorrect jointing or increased restrictions of ventilation to the system, then this may lead to the system failing and/or providing inefficient performance. Where any doubt regarding the installation is anticipated, an increase over Code requirements would be prudent action. Caroma Smartflush 4.5/3 Litre Dual Flush Technology Detailed in the relevant product sections is a comprehensive range of matched cisterns and pans with Caroma Smartflush 4.5/3 litre Dual Flush technology. Featuring compact cistern designs, and suitable for domestic and commercial applications, Caroma has designed the water efficient suites for Australian conditions to meet market, performance and authority requirements. The more stars the more water efficient WATER RATING 4.5 litres per full flush 3 litres per half flush 3.5 litres per average flush Where authorized, 4.5/3 litre Dual Flush toilet suites are suitable for septic installations with the use of external overflow cisterns. Product Variations Caroma Industries Ltd reserves the right to alter, vary, change and to delete product designs and performance without notice. Dimensions All dimensions are in millimetres and are subject to normal manufacturing variations. For further information visit or call

2 1. Installation Through our experience in the field we have found that many problems are installation related. Therefore the importance of the installing plumber to be aware of any special installation requirements for a product prior to the commencement of the job cannot be overstated. Detailed product installation instructions are provided with the National Plumbing Code AS/NZS and local authority requirements which may vary from the code. Also reference must always be made to current issues of either the Caroma Technical Manual together with Authority Plumbing Codes. If further information is required contact your local Caroma representative. For your general reference we have provided in the following pages product installation information that should be of assistance to the industry to create more awareness of our product installation requirements together with general plumbing requirements. Setout Dimensions The setout dimension details the position of the plumbing pipe work inlet, outlet connections and fixing positions. These dimensions are the most important requirements that the customer and plumber must be aware of after the product selection has been made. Caroma products have varying setout requirements depending on the product type. Opal II Setout Dimensions Standard Uniconnector Setout Range 80mm 185mm Important 22mm approx. projection from wall 1/2" B.S.P.

Important: Do not use offset connectors with the supplied Uniconnector when installing these suites. The use of offset connectors may cause the pan to siphon during the flush cycle. Important: Use only Caroma performance approved offset connector Code No Important: These suites are not suitable for offset connectors with an offset greater than 15mm. Even if the offset connector may have Water mark approval it may cause the pan to syphon during the flush cycle, due to a reduction in through-way dimension of the connector. This note also applies to all suites with Concorde Concealed, Concorde Connector, Cosmo Care, Exposed (Retro), Junior, Trident, Trident Care and Vintage pans. AS 2887 specifies the waterway of the pan connector shall allow the passage of a sphere of diameter 72+0, 1mm. S-Trap Pedestal Pans The recommended setout for pedestal pans is 165mm with an adjustable range dependant on the type of cistern used. P-Trap Close-Coupled and Pedestal Pan Setout The P-trap setout for all close-coupled and pedestal pans is 185mm from the pan foot level. Wall Hung Pans Setout Dimension The setout dimension for a wall hung pan is taken from the finished floor. The bolt hole and inlet positions are critical to the installation. Wall hung pans are suitable for installation with non compressible wall materials only.

Note: The waste pipe floor position is offset from the waste outlet centre in the pedestal setout. For further information visit or call

6 Bidette It is essential that a Bidette is setout as specified to allow access for plumbing connections and ease of use. The Caroma 40mm short inlet S and P-trap kit (Code No ) has been specially developed for use with standard bidettes to ensure the correct floor clearances are maintained for trouble free installation. For Leda bidette use S-trap (Code No ) or P-trap (Code No ). Important: All dimensions are to the bidette foot level. It is important to make height allowance for bedding.

7 Pan Foot Level The reference point taken from the level from the under-side of the foot to the relevant height dimension. This height dimension is constant and unaffected by bedding thickness which may vary from our recommendations. Pan Foot Level Roughing in The roughing in is the preliminary stage carried out by the plumber involving the positioning of waste pipe work and water inlet connections before the wall/floor finishes are added. At this stage the plumber must be aware of essential setout requirements and make allowances for wall and floor finishes to determine finished setout dimensions. Liaison must be made with the finishing trade to ensure that essential setout dimensions are achieved. Failure by the plumber to liaise and instruct the finishing trade of the setout requirements and the allowance that has been made for the type of floor/wall finish is the major reason why setout problems occur. At this stage for stud walls, noggins should be posi tioned into the frame for the support of cistern and basin fixings. Pan/Bidette Fixing There are two installation methods to fix a pan/bidette to the finished floor either by bedding or screw/bracket fixing. Bedding Mix All height dimensions to underside of the foot, make allowance for mortar bedding. The pan should be fixed to the floor with a sand cement mixture of 3:1 to a depth of 60mm. NOTE: Do not use lime or fast drying cement as this may crack the foot of the pan. When bedded the back of the pan should be approximately 10mm above the finished floor. Bedding installation Level pan when bedding Pan height Cato Pan Height of P-Trap Fixing Hole Cover Detail for Bedding Installations (Cato, Cube, Geo, Leda, Metro, Neo, Opal II, Opal II Easy Height and Pearl only) Blanking Cap Finished floor level 10mm bedded position Pan Foot Screw/bracket Fixing Installation The pan can be fixed directly to the finished floor with either corrosion resistant screws and pan guard washers or the D.80 Concealed bracket where applicable. The pan should be fixed into a bed of silicone sealant.

8 Screw Fixing Installation Important: Do not use the pan screw holes as a guide for drilling as this may crack the pan. Position and push pan onto connector Level pan when bedding Bedding height position max. 5mm silicone around foot. Finished floor Finished Wall Height of P-trap 185 Wall-Hung Pan Fixing The Caroma wall-hung pans have been developed to be fixed to the finished wall using the Invisi II or Sanifix Bracketing Systems. The systems allow for varying wall finishes providing installation flexibility for both structural and non structural walls. The bracket is positioned during the roughing in stage. It is very important that accurate setouts are achieved so that the final installation is according to specification. The installation of wall-hung pans is critical and must be carried out following the installation procedures on the pan carton. This will ensure the function and safety of the installation. When installing wall-hung pans ensure the contact area on the wall for fitting the pan is flat and true. Check with a straight edge before installation. The pan must be secured to the wall with Caroma brackets and fixings. A torque wrench must be used to ensure the bolts are tightened to the required figures in the installation instructions.

For trap installations above the floor level ensure that the bottom of the trap or pipe work has a minimum 10mm clearance from the floor level below the bath. (See detail below.) 6. Plastic Pipe Work Installation: To avoid damage to the porcelain enamel surface forces must not be applied to the bath by excessively rigid pipe work or misalign pipe work. Do not support the bath with the pipe work. Plastic waste pipe work must be unrestrained for a length of 300mm from the waste outlet fitting or a flexible coupling used. (See detail below). For trap installations above the floor level ensure that the bottom of the trap or pipe work has a minimum 10mm clearance from the floor level below the bath. (See detail below.) 7. Before enclosing and tiling the bath, ensure that all the connections and pipe work are watertight. Ensure that the bath drains fully prior to completion of installation. The air space beneath the bath should be ventilated to the requirements of local Authorities. 8. Apply an approved flexible sealant to all exposed edges. 9. Enclose and tile in bath. Cleaning and Maintenance. Use only neat detergent or non-abrasive cream cleanser as recommended by the manufacturer for porcelain enamel. Apply on a soft cloth and hand rinse clean. If the bath has an optional Sure Step surface, clean it with a stiff polyester or nylon brush as well as with liquid cleaning detergents. After cleaning the bath or adjacent tiles, or using bath salts, always rinse the bath clean with water to remove any chemical residues. Do not use an abrasive cleaner to remove surface grime. Note: Caroma products, treated with care, will ensure many years of satisfactory service. Avoid contact with sharp objects and do not drop heavy or hard objects onto the surface. Always fill the bath before the addition of acidic / or alkaline bath salts. Island Frame Island Bath Installation Timber Frame For further information visit or call

29 2 Pans Caroma 4.5/3 litre pans are manufactured in vitreous china to comply with Australian Standard AS and are of the wash down type which are more water efficient than various types of pans used in other areas of the world. Wash down pans are the normal type pans used in Australia and throughout Europe. In Australia there are normally three versions of each pan model either S-trap, P-trap or skew trap. S-Trap Pans S-trap version pans are the highest volume installed in Australia. The pan is easily identified with the outlet spigot of the trap connecting directly into a floor mounted pan collar. Exposed (Retro) S-Trap Pan P-Trap Pans P-trap version pans have either a horizontal or angled outlet spigot which connects directly into a pan collar mounted on the wall. Exposed (Retro) P-Trap Pan Skew Trap Pans Skew trap version pans are available in left and right hand models with a horizontal or angled outlet spigot which is offset at 90 which connects directly into a pan collar mounted on a side wall. The range of Caroma skew trap pans is limited to the Concorde pan and the Profile Skew close-coupled pan. Identification of whether left or right hand skew is when facing the pan from the front. Profile Skew Trap Pan Shrouded Trap Pan A pan with a shrouded trap is more up market than a common pan and offers the features of improved design and ease of cleaning. The close-coupled Caravelle and Profile pans as well as the Trident pan all have shrouded traps. Trident Shrouded Trap Pan For further information visit or call

30 Close-Coupled Suite A suite where the pan and the cistern are usually joined together with the flush pipe concealed. The majority of Caroma products are close-coupled in either vitreous china or plastic cistern versions. Caravelle 2000 Close Coupled Suite Wall Faced Pan A pan which can be installed with the back face of the pan fitting directly against the finished wall. Wall faced pans are used widely for commercial and up market domestic applications offering ease of cleaning and improved design. Leda Wall Faced Pan Wall-Hung Pan A wall-hung pan bolts directly to the finished wall, clear of the floor surface for ease of cleaning. This feature makes the pan ideal for use in commercial application. The installer must be aware of the critical installation requirements. Available in P-trap only. Walvit Wall-Hung Pan Boxed Rim Pan A boxed rim pan has a closed water rim with inlet holes around the underside of the rim directing water into the bowl of the pan. These pans are quieter in operation than open rim pans and are more versatile with accommodating cisterns of varying head height without splashing problems, the Leda and Walvit pans are boxed rim type Open Rim Pan A open rim pan has a flushing rim which is open and directs water to the front of the pan allowing water to fall freely over the bowl to wash the surfaces. 30 For further information visit or call

31 3 Cisterns All Caroma Cisterns are manufactured in either vitreous china or plastic to comply to Australian Standard AS and are of the underwater valve type. Note: The majority of water authorities require 3 to 4 star WELS rated dual flushing volumes for matched pans and cisterns. Check with your local authority before specifying single flushvalve or cistern installations. Exposed Cistern Exposed cisterns are fixed directly to the finished wall and are available as close coupled versions (fixed directly to the pan) or by means of a flush pipe. When fixed directly to the pan, the pan waste setout is normally fixed unless the pan is adjustable. The waste setout of a pan using a flush pipe is flexible as the flush pipe can be cut to the required length. Refer recommended setouts for exposed cisterns using flushvalves. Close-Coupled Cistern A cistern which fits directly to the pan. The pan is a top entry type with the outlet of the cistern fitting directly on the top inlet of the pan. Caroma offers both vitreous china and plastic closecoupled cisterns. Newer cisterns are bolted directly to the pan and are not fixed to the wall. This provides a better seal between cistern and pan as wall mounted cistern seals can be affected by walls being out of square. Connector Cistern A cistern which is connected to the pan with the normal flush pipe assembly. A plastic bridging connector plate is fitted to conceal the flush pipe which is cut to size with the flush pipe for varying pan setouts. Gives the appearance of a close-coupled suite but provides flexibility regarding setouts. Available for both vitreous china and plastic cisterns. Sovereign Exposed Cistern Caravelle 2000 Close-coupled Cistern Trident Connector Cistern Low Level Cistern A low level cistern installation provides a cistern height of between approximately mm and has an exposed flush pipe. Sovereign Low Level Cistern For further information visit or call

32 Mid Level Cistern A mid level cistern installation provides a cistern height of approximately 1300mm and has an exposed flush pipe. Mid level installations are being phased out in favour of the more acceptable close-coupled and low level installations. Now mainly required for replacement applications. Slimline Mid Level Cistern Back Inlet Cistern The water inlet connection for a back inlet cistern is from the wall directly into the back of the cistern. The connection is completely concealed and has an integral stop valve. The Cube, Leda 2000, Geo and Opal 11 suites are standard as back inlets, with Caravelle 2000 suite being optional. Bottom Inlet Cistern Water connections are to the underside of the cistern via an exposed stop cock. Right hand versions, convertible to left hand are available in most cistern models. This is the standard inlet connection system used throughout Australia. Inwall Cistern The inwall cistern is fitted into the wall cavity with access to service the cistern via a cover panel. The Invisi II inwall cistern fits into a wall cavity of 90mm and is available in single or dual flush. Flushing buttons can be up to 4 metres from the cisterns when connected to an extended pneumatic tube. Invisi II Inwall Cistern Induct Cisterns The induct cistern is fitted into the service duct behind the pan with an access to the cistern via the duct. Two models are available in the Caroma range, Invisi II and Slimline induct cisterns. Under Counter Cisterns The under counter cistern is fitted under the vanity counter. The Invisi II Under Counter, Slimline Induct and Compact Under Counter cisterns are available in the Caroma range. Inceiling Cisterns The inceiling cistern is fitted into the ceiling cavity with access to the service via a ceiling panel. Due to the flushing head height use only box rim type pans. The remote push button Invisi II and Invisi inceiling cisterns are available for this application. 32 For further information visit or call
