Sussex Vfm200tsxfmmik Floormount Water Mixer Installation Guide

VFM200TSXFMMIK Floormount Water Mixer

Product Information

The Voda Floormount Mixer is a high-quality tapware product
designed for installation on either concrete or wooden floors. It
is available in three different sizes: 160mm, 200mm, and 250mm. The
product codes for each size are CBMVFMT, CBMVFM200T, and
CBMVFM250T, respectively. Additionally, there are variations of the
floormount mixer available with different features such as a
hand-held attachment (VFMHT), a curved outlet (VFMMCT), and a
curved basin mixer (VFMBMCT).

The product is compliant with AS/NZS 3718:2005 standards and
should be installed by a Licensed Plumber following the guidelines
provided in AS/NZS 3500:2003. The recommended working water
pressure for this tapware is between 300-500 kpa, and the maximum
water temperature it can handle is 65 degrees Celsius.

Concrete Floor Installation

To install the Voda Floormount Mixer on a new concrete floor,
follow these steps:

  1. Create a 50mm step down (recess) in the concrete slab where the
    floormount mixer will be located. The recess area should be at
    least 200 x 300mm in size, but it can be larger if needed.
  2. Ensure that the recess area is flat and level.
  3. Install the Floormount Fixing Valve by using the supplied end
    caps, pressure plate, and fixing bolts. Leave these components
    intact until the final fit off with the floormount mixer.
  4. Make necessary water connections and test them.
  5. Fill in the recessed area and any channelling with a mortar
    mix.
  6. Once the mortar has set, seal the area between the mortar and
    the Fixing Valve.

Existing Concrete Floor Installation

If you are installing the Voda Floormount Mixer on an existing
concrete floor, follow these steps:

  1. Cut a 400 x 400mm section through the concrete slab at the
    desired location for the floormount mixer.
  2. Remove the cut section and drill holes for concrete tie-rods
    into the side walls of the cavity.
  3. Fit the tie-rods and pour concrete to create a 50mm step down
    (recess) from the original concrete floor surface.
  4. Ensure that the recess area is flat and level.
  5. Create a minimum 50 x 50mm channel for hot and cold water lines
    to be chased into the recessed area.
  6. Complete water connections, test them, and fill in the recessed
    area and channelling with a mortar mix.
  7. Seal the area between the mortar and the Fixing Valve once the
    mortar has set.

Wooden Floor Installation

If you are installing the Voda Floormount Mixer on a wooden
floor, follow these steps:

  1. Fix a 100x50mm minimum noggin 50mm below the top of the joists
    at the desired location for the floormount mixer.
  2. Remove the m8x25mm bolts and pressure plate from the floormount
    mixer to suit wooden flooring.
  3. Using a 6mm Allen key, remove the Floormount Mixer Adapter
    Plate, Connecting Fitting, Floormount Mixer Valve Body, and
    Floormount Mixer Valve Base Plate.
  4. Install the necessary components for wooden floor installation,
    including an end cap with seal, M8 bolts, and an elbow.
  5. Ensure that the recess area is flat and level.
  6. Complete water connections, test them, and fill in the recessed
    area with a suitable material such as tile glue or waterproof
    particle board.

BACK FILLED RECESS

*To install this floormount fixing valve, a 50mm step down (recess) is required in the concrete slab. The floormount fixing valve is supplied with end caps, pressure plate and fixing bolts. Leave intact until final fit off with the floormount mixer.

New concrete floor (pre-pour)
*To install the Floormount Fixing Valve a 50mm step down (recess) is required in the concrete surface where the floormount is to be located. – The recess area is to be a minimum of 200 x 300mm to allow enough room for the fixing valve to be fitted. NOTE: This can be a larger area if unsure of exact mounting position. Important: the recess area is required to be 50mm deep and must be flat and level.
Existing concrete floor
– Cut 400 x 400mm section through concrete slab where the floormount mixer is to be located (Fig. 1). – Remove cut section and drill for the appropriate concrete `tie-rods’ into side walls of cavity. – Fit `tie-rods’ and pour concrete to create a 50mm step down (recess) from the original concrete
floor surface (Fig. 1). NOTE: Recess area must be flat and level. – Hot and cold lines can be chased into the recessed area by cutting a minimum 50 x 50mm channel (Fig. 1).
Fixing and connections (Fig. 2 & 3)
– Connect 1/2″ elbows (or male/female nipples) to Fixing Valve in preparation for the hot/cold water lines. – Postion fixing valve into concreted recess area. NOTE: Align “Front” to face bath or wash vessel. – Mark and drill for 8mm “dyna bolt” or other appropriate anchoring bolts (not supplied). – Fix Floormount Fixing Valve and complete hot and cold water line connections. – Ensure the valve is level and well anchored. – Tighten “end caps” and perform water testing, and ensure there are no water leaks. – Leave end caps, pressure plate and fixing bolts in the valve to protect the threads until final fit-off.
Back-filled recess (Fig. 4)
– Once all water connections are made and tested, fill in the recessed area and channelling up to the Fixing Valve with a mortar mix.
– After mortar has set, seal the area between mortar and the Fixing Valve.

– Fix a 100x50mm min noggin. 50mm below the top of the joists in the position where the floormount mixer is to be located (Fig. 1).
NOTE: the floormount mixer has been supplied to suit a concrete installation. Some parts need to be changed to suit a wooden floor. – To suit wooden flooring, remove the m8x25mm bolts and the pressure plate. Using a 6mm allen key, remove the
two connection fittings (O-ring sealed) and replace with the longer version (tighten well). – Add the Floormount Mixer Adapted Plate. Replace the Pressure Plate and loosely fit the M8x40mm bolts (Fig. 2). NOTE: the shorter connection fittings and M8x25mm bolts will not be required. – Add appropriate elbows or 1/2″ BSP nipples to allow for hot/cold water connections (not supplied). – Secure Floormount Mixer Valve to coggin using appropriate wood screws (not supplied). NOTE: “FRONT” to face water vessel. – Complete hot/cold water connections. – Ensure the valve is level and well anchored.
Fixing and connections (Fig. 2 & 3)
– Connect 1/2″ elbows (or male/female nipples) to Fixing Valve in preparation for the hot/cold water lines. – Postion fixing valve into concreted recess area. NOTE: Align “Front” to face bath or wash vessel. – Mark and drill for 8mm “dyna bolt” or other appropriate anchoring bolts (not supplied). – Fix Floormount Fixing Valve and complete hot and cold water line connections. – Ensure the valve is level and well anchored. – Tighten “end caps” and perform water testing, and ensure there are no water leaks. – Leave end caps, pressure plate and fixing bolts in the valve to protect the threads until final fit-off.
Back-filled recess (Fig. 4)
– Once all water connections are made and tested, fill in the recessed area and channelling up to the Fixing Valve with a mortar mix.
– After mortar has set, seal the area between mortar and the Fixing Valve.
