IMPORTANT - CARE OF YOUR PRODUCT AFTER INSTALLATION After installation we strongly recommend that the fitting be securely covered to prevent contamination or damage by any form of building materials such as paint, plaster, tile adhesive, grout or sealants until all building and finishing work is completed. CLEANING After use all finishes should be maintained by wiping with a soft, damp, clean cloth and then polished using a soft dry duster. NO abrasive powder, detergents or polishes should be used, cleansers containing alcohol, acid or corrosive chemicals should NOT be used. NOTE Some household bleaches and denture cleaners can damage plated or coloured finishes and if spilt on to a fitting should be washed off immediately with cold water. If these instructions are followed we believe this fitting will give many years of satisfactory use. We have a policy of continuous improvement and reserve the right to change specifications without notice. Please retain this document for future reference.

General Notes The thermostatic shower valve should have isolating valves fitted for servicing purposes. The hot supply should be to the left, and the cold supply to the right when viewed from the front. Water Supplies. maximum: 85°C minimum: 5°C Higher than maximum required mixed temperature. Advisable 65°C. Minimum difference between hot and mixed temperature is 10°C. Operating Pressure Maximum 5 Bar Minimum 1 Bar Operating pressure (on hot and cold line) should be kept as balanced as possible in order to assure maximum efficiency. When the pressure is higher than a 5 Bar a pressure reducer is required to be fitted before valve. Water Regulations The fitting should be installed in compliance with the Water Regulations. Full details can be obtained by referring to the Water Regulations Guide, or your local water supplier. In general the single check valves supplied fitted in the shower valve covers requirements for fluid category 1 & 2 for balanced and unbalanced supplies. Where the outlet of the shower valve fitting can be submerged in a fluid category 3 risk (I.e. wash basin or bath) the pipes serving the hot & cold should be protected with a double check valve. This mixer is supplied with a cover plate (chromium-plated). The temperature control knob is pre-set at 38°C Temperature limit setting of less than 44 degree Celsius to avoid scalding. The mixer ports are G ¾” threads.

PLUMBING RECOMMENDATIONS · An independent water supply (both hot and cold) is required for the shower system (do not pipe off ring main) please refer to installation diagrams · Large runs of pipe work will cause frictional loss of pressure. · The recommended from both cylinder and water tank should be 22 mm minimum reducing to 15 mm within half a meter of valve. · If more than one shower valve is installed the minimum feed from tank and cylinder should be 28 mm, reducing to 15 mm within half a meter valve. (Ensure adequate supply of both hot and cold water can be maintained). · In installations where a pump is required, install pump before shower mixer inlets. PLUMBING & INSTALLATION 1. The wall should be cut away to receive the valve. A depth of between 64mm and 80mm to the finished wall face is required. 2. Drill or cut away the wall to accept supply pipes and shower connection. 3. Connect the feed and outlet pipes ensuring the valve (1) is set level. 4. Fit handles (9), turn on water supply, operate valve and check for leaks. 5. Remove handles. 6. Ensure rubber seal (13) is positioned in large hole of plate (2). Lightly lubricate seal (13) with a suitable silicon grease or washing up liquid. Push plate onto valve being careful not to damage seal (13). Fix plate (2) to finished wall with a suitable sealant. 7. Fit handles (9) and fix with grubs crews (4). N.B. The valve is turned on and off by rotating the top and bottom handles clockwise/anticlockwise, temperature is controlled by rotating the centre handle. MAINTENANCE After a time impurities and lime scale can restrict the flow of water through the mixer. If the mixer's performance deteriorates the filters Page 5
