This is my vehicle a rapido 7090F
Having decided to fit this device and having established where it would fit for ease of pipework and servicing I first have to dismantle the under sink cabinet after removing the drawer.
Dont't be confused by the hinged door! This was an earlier modification I made, your drawer front will be full length to the floor
Having removed the drawer the shelf can be removed by four screws along the right hand edge behind the ply that carries the drawer runner (no need to remove the runner as I had here) it will then lift up and pull to the right out of the goove that supports the left edge
Broken Link Removed
Broken Link Removed
Now the cupboard back and shelf, first remove the four corner screws under the plastic covers
Then you will need a short driver bit as shown to remove the three screws that attach the shelf to the upright.This also locates in a groove on its left end
Broken Link Removed
Broken Link Removed
Broken Link Removed
Now we have full access
Broken Link Removed
Having traced the pipework it was evident that a new route for the alteration was beneficial
I located the first T in the cold pipework and identified the one from the pump marked with the cross
It is under the heater hose
Broken Link Removed
Broken Link Removed
Having cut the pipe I then pulled it out to the outside boiler access door, the lower of the two pipes here
Broken Link Removed
I then pulled it from there back to the water pump
Broken Link Removed
Original direction of pipe
The new length of pipe was fed through here
Broken Link Removed
To here
Broken Link Removed
Then connect to the T where the original pipe was removed and connect both ends at the water tank compartment to the accumulator/expansion tank
with enough length on the pipes to service
Broken Link Removed
Broken Link Removed
Broken Link Removed
Broken Link Removed
Then start putting everything back
Broken Link Removed
Testing requires a full water system with the pump turned off, this will have to wait for now.
