T100 Tilting Bowl Overview
This tutorial explains how to install and use the T100 adapter on a 5515 unit to convert a wall-mounted bowl into a tilt-mounted bowl, typically used in wet booth units or standard wall installations. The T100 makes it possible to mount a tilt bowl, such as the CP82, on a wall or in a wet booth setup.
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Understand the T100 Adapter
- What is the T100?
- The T100 is an adapter that allows you to convert a wall-mounted bowl setup to a tilt-mounted bowl system using a deck mount. It is typically used in wet booth units, but can also be mounted on a standard wall.
- The T100 is compatible with the 5515 unit and provides a platform for attaching the tilt bowl to your setup.
2. Prepare Your 5515 Unit
- Ensure the 5515 unit is ready for the T100 installation. The unit should be set up with the necessary plumbing and mountings to accommodate the T100 adapter.
3. Attach the T100 Adapter
- Installation: The T100 adapter is designed to fit onto the 5515 unit and serves as the base for your tilt bowl. Once attached, it enables you to mount the tilt bowl securely.
- The T100 provides an opening at the bottom for plumbing connections. This allows plumbing to be stubbed out, which is standard for what is referred to as a "laboratory stub out."
4. Mount the Tilt Bowl
- Choose the Tilt Bowl: In this example, the CP82 flat-front bowl is used. The CP82 is a universal sidewash and backwash bowl that fits well with the T100.
- Mounting: Place the tilt bowl over the T100 adapter. The T100 holds the bowl in place, and you can install your plumbing from underneath, making the setup functional for either wet booths or wall-mounted applications.
5. Finalize the Setup
- Plumbing: If installing the system on a wall, the plumbing for the tilt bowl should be connected from underneath, ensuring that the water supply and drainage are properly aligned with the installation.
6. Additional Notes
- Flexibility: The T100 adapter works not only in wet booth units but also in standard wall installations. This versatility makes it an ideal solution for salons looking to adapt their equipment to different setups.
By following this guide, you'll be able to successfully install and use the T100 adapter to convert a wall-mounted bowl into a tilt-mounted bowl, offering flexibility for your salon's plumbing and layout needs.
