Technical Info
The above image shows a typical completed Nova-Flo™ installation for bath mounted taps.
With the confined space behind a bath, compression fittings are unsuitable since there is no room to swing a spanner. Push-in pipe connections are the obvious solution for ease of installation. Apart from the connections to the taps, every other pipe join simply pushes together.
Hot or cold supply pipes can be fitted to either side of Nova-Flo™ to eliminate any guesswork.
As standard, Nova-Flo™ allows for 22mm pipework (or using 15mm with an enlarger). Internal bore dimensions run at 17mm so it can be used with pressure pumps, power showers or simply a header tank with no loss of performance.
The existing plastic overflow pipe needs to be cut at the right place and each end pushed onto the barbed connections. These will provide a secure watertight fit. (the two most most common size barb connectors are supplied per Nova-Flo™ unit).
The width between the pipe connections on Nova-Flo™ has been designed to accommodate bath mounted tap supplies of 180mm. Other taps such as wall mounted or overflow-fillers will require an an adaption of the plumbing pipework.
Please note that you may need to purchase relevant plumbing connections to connect a Nova-Flo™ unit which are not supplied. We can advise on these and supply you with recommended fittings if required.
Installation time is generally under one hour for bath mounted taps.
