Colenz® Device Installation Requirements
Plumbing Connections
- Drain Line: 2" diameter connection with no P‑trap between the device and the sewer vent (the device includes its own P‑traps).
- Floor Drain Setup: Stub up 6" from the floor.
- Wall Drain Setup: Stub low enough to maintain proper downward slope.
- The device’s drain outlet sits 7" above the floor and discharges horizontally.
- Connector: A flexible rubber clamp‑on connector for the 2" drain line is provided with the device.
Electrical Requirements
- Power: Standard 110V outlet.
- Safety: The device includes a built‑in GFI, so no external GFI outlet is required.
Water Supply Requirements
- Hot & Cold Lines:
- Install at 12"–18" above the floor.
- Use 3/8" compression shut‑off valves (preferred).
- Water Pressure: Minimum 50 psi at the valves.
- Low pressure may affect the power‑flush function and slow bowl drainage.
- Water Quality: Both hot and cold lines must supply filtered water.
Water Treatment System
- Placement:
- Connect to the cold incoming water line before the water heater.
- Ensure cold water runs directly to the treatment room.
- System Specs:
- Flow rate: 6 gpm
- Mounted on an 18" × 24" board
- Clearance: 20" above and 10" below for UV lamp and filter changes
- Valves:
- Equipped with ¾" female‑thread ball valves on both input and output (lower right of the board).
- Power:
- Requires a 110V GFI outlet and a proper grounding point.
Water Heater Requirements
- Distance: No more than 20 feet from the device to maintain consistent temperature.
- Capacity: Minimum 20‑gallon water heater for one Colenz® system.
- Power: Requires a 110V outlet.
Room Layout Recommendations
- Nearby Fixtures: A toilet and sink should be located near the Colenz® room.
- Ideal setup: Each treatment room has its own toilet and sink (not mandatory).
- Flooring:
- FDA requires the device to sit on a cleanable surface (no carpet underneath).
- If the room is carpeted, place a 4' × 8' vinyl‑coated ¾" particle board under the device.
- A raised platform may be used if the wall drain is too high for proper gravity drainage.
