This manual introduces the features and instructions for use of the ACTIVE series faucets
This document provides installation and service instructions for the Franke ACTIVE faucet series. It details various spout configurations, including semi-pro, swivel, pull-out, and window styles, along with their specific jet counts and dimensions. The manual also includes important notes regarding compatibility with the UK range.
The guide outlines technical operating data such as ideal and maximum water pressure and temperature limits. It further explains the use of flow reducers based on network pressure and provides specific instructions for periodic checks and the replacement of flexible hoses to ensure safety and functionality.
| Operating pressure (ideal) | 3 bar 45 PSI 300 kPa |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure (max.) | 5 bar 70 PSI 500 kPa |
| Operating pressure (min.) | 1 bar 14.5 PSI 100 kPa |
| Water temperature (ideal) | 60 °C 140 °F |
| Water temperature (max.) | 70 °C 158 °F |
The ideal operating pressure is 3 bar, which is equivalent to 45 PSI or 300 kPa.
For 0 to 2 bar, no reducer is needed; for 2 to 4 bar, use the shortest one; for 4 to 6 bar, use the longest one; and for over 6 bar, reduce flow through the wall input angle valve or upstream pressure reducer.
Periodic checks should include watertightness, corrosion, and mechanical damage. Damp, dripping, rusty, or mechanically damaged hoses must be replaced.
