Re: 1607 commercial install
Hi Ken
I’m aware of that link but are you saying that because he can’t prove to me that his premises are not suitable for wras I should decline the sale 😕
Re: 1607 commercial install
Basically, if it’s a gravity drain then the 1607 is unsuitable. Most other times it’s fine.
But, the bottom line is, that only a WRAS approved plumber can actually tell someone whether a machine is suitable or not. You have to be WRAS Approved to be able to do that and, guess what, they cost a fortune.

Ok Ken,I must laugh tho,the geezer who runs this rest home is probally 75 himself and has no access to the internet to which i want to send him links etc!!
Re: 1607 commercial install
If they wash soiled stuff then they will need a gravity drain machine.
If they don’t do it right and a water inspector chappie comes in it’s big, big fine time especially in a granny dump.

Re: 1607 commercial install
as far as i am aware (what i have been told by various customers) if its a residential home then a normal drain is ok aslong as they have hv a seperate machine for ‘soiled’ items. if its a care home then it kicks in the rules of wras, sluise , dump valves on drain etc. personaly if they have a ws5425 which is wras approved i would stick with it to avoid any issues.
