Installation notes

This section provides general installation notes for ACa Q-Ceptors

that should be followed before installation. These notes should be
read together with the recommended installation detail shown in
the drawing on the following page.

In lightly loaded situations, the units can

be installed without concrete backfill,
using a suitable granular material as
backfill. However a concrete slab is likely
to be required over the unit and the unit
will be particularly vulnerable to flotation
in grou ndwater. Engi neeri ng advice
shou Id be sought.

The ACO Q-Ceptor range of separators is

Environment Agency compliant and
conforms fully to the requirements of
PPG3. In addition, all ACO Q-Ceptor
separators have been designed and
independently tested to BS EN 858-
1 :2002 and BS EN 858-2:2003. The
customer (or their client) is responsible
for ensuring that the installation of the
unit is in compliance with any regulatory
requirements of the planning authorities,
Building Control, Environment Agency,
Water Company, national and European
standards, etc.

Installation should only be carried out

by an experienced and competent
contractor. Electrical work (e.g, alarms)
must only be carried out by a suitably
qualified electrician.
