VFMT Voda Floormount Mixer

Product Information:

The product is a Voda Floormount Mixer, designed for
installation in either concrete or wooden floors. It has a product
code of CBM and comes in different sizes: VFMT (160mm), VFM200T
(200mm), and VFM250T (250mm).

For concrete floor installation, the product comes with a fixing
valve that requires a 50mm step down (recess) in the concrete slab.
The recess area should be at least 200 x 300mm and 50mm deep. The
product is supplied with end caps, pressure plate, and fixing
bolts.

For wooden floor installation, a 100x50mm min noggin needs to be
fixed below the top of the joists in the desired location. Some
parts of the product need to be changed, including removing the
M8x25mm bolts and pressure plate.

The product is compliant with AS/NZS 3718:2005 and should be
installed by a Licensed Plumber in accordance with AS/NZS
3500:2003. The recommended working water pressure is 300-500 kpa,
and the maximum water temperature is 65 deg.c.

Product Usage Instructions:

Concrete Floor Installation:

  1. To install the Floormount Fixing Valve, create a 50mm step down
    (recess) in the concrete slab. The recess area should be a minimum
    of 200 x 300mm and 50mm deep.
  2. For new concrete floors, ensure the recess area is flat and
    level. For existing concrete floors, cut a 400 x 400mm section
    through the slab where the floormount mixer will be located. Remove
    the cut section and drill for concrete tie-rods into the side walls
    of the cavity. Fit the tie-rods and pour concrete to create the
    50mm recess.
  3. Chase the hot and cold water lines into the recessed area by
    cutting a minimum 50 x 50mm channel.
  4. Fix and connect the Floormount Fixing Valve according to the
    provided instructions.
  5. Once all water connections are made and tested, fill the
    recessed area and channelling up to the Fixing Valve with a mortar
    mix.
  6. After the mortar has set, seal the area between the mortar and
    the Fixing Valve.

Wooden Floor Installation:

  1. Fix a 100x50mm min noggin below the top of the joists in the
    desired location.
  2. Remove the M8x25mm bolts and pressure plate from the Floormount
    Mixer to suit wooden flooring.
  3. Follow the provided instructions to connect and fix the
    Floormount Mixer to the wooden floor using the appropriate
    fittings.
  4. Tile and waterproof the area surrounding the Floormount Mixer
    according to standard practices.

For more information and detailed instructions, refer to the
product manual available at sussextaps.com.au. Please note that
installation should be done by a Licensed Plumber.

*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.
