Combiguard

Choose the location of the unit, turn off the water and drain down. Cut out the section of pipe ensuring that swarf or debris does not enter the system.

Insert the tee piece and tighten the compression nuts. Ensure that the two "O" rings (see diagram on panel) are in position. Tighten the locking nut ensuring that the cartridge remains in the vertical position.

If the pipework will not support the unit, screw the supplied back plate to a supporting surface.

Very important: It is essential that any foreign matter such as swarf, wire wool, flux or debris is flushed clear of the system prior to connecting the control head and cartridge. A 20 mm BSP brass cap (available at good hardware and plumbing retails) can be tightened onto the 20 mm centre thread of the tee piece, to assist in flushing the system.

Check for Safe Installation and Operation

Read this information carefully and follow all the instructions. Personal injury or property damage could result if you fail to install or operate the Sentinel Combiguard properly.
Check all plumbing codes and comply with their rules.
Protect the Sentinel Combiguard from freezing temperatures. Water freezing in the unit will damage or break it.
Install the Sentinel Combiguard on a cold water pipe only.
Be sure all packaging is removed from the cartridge.
Check inlet and outlet are correctly piped in the direction of the arrows.
Dial the month change indicator and complete the cartridge reminder form.

Note: New system installations are particularly prone to foreign matter.

After flushing, reconnect the control head and cartridge. Ensure that the cartridge is fully held in the bayonet holder and that the cartridge locking pin is screwed down.

Turn on the water and test for any leaks. Set the cartridge change indictor ring to the appropriate month.
