General Information
Operating pressure range: Minimum 0.1 bar, Maximum 5.0 bar.
Maximum static pressure: 10.0 bar.
This product has been tested to the TMV2 scheme which complies with the BS EN
1287:1999 (LP) and BS 1111:1999 (HP) thermostatic mixing valve standards and satisfies
the requirements of the water supply (water fittings) regulations 1999 and current
bylaws.
BS 6700 recommends the temperature of stored water should never exceed 65°C.
A stored water temperature of 60°C is considered sufficient to meet all normal
requirements and will minimise the build up of lime scale in hard water areas (see
Map of Hard Water Regions in the UK on page 25).
If the fitting is installed at low pressure (tank fed), then the minimum distance from the
highest installed position of the showerhead to the underside of the cold tank should be
at least 1 metre to ensure adequate performance.
Note:
Nominally equal (balanced) inlet supply pressures are recommended for optimum
performance with mixer showers.
These shower valves should be installed in compliance with the Water Regulations.
