Equal Low systems
Important note: Only slide showers that are equipped with a large internal bore hose and open flow single
function handset will work effectively with this shower mixer. We recommend this mixer be used with an
Espree Slide Shower (EF04 or FSL5) for optimum performance. If the cold pressure exceeds 500kPa, or the
pressure difference is greater than 10/1 ratio (i.e. 400kPa cold and 35kPa hot), we recommend installing
the needle valve (
not
supplied) preferably directly to the cold water feed port on the shower mixer or
alternatively anywhere on the cold feedline pipe.
Prior to installation, remove the valve inserts from both inlets.
INSTALLATION
Installation must comply with Section 5.4 of AS/NZS 3500 Standard with regard to Isolating stop cock use. Shower
mixers must be water tested with the outlet open, to prevent damage to cartridge seals; due to back pressure.
All pipe work must be flushed prior to the installation of this mixer, accessible inline filters must be installed in the
pipework for both the hot and cold inlet supply to prevent particles from damaging the ceramic cartridge.
Back Flow Prevention: Where back flow prevention is required, install our Back Flow Prevention Valve at the supply
elbow hose connection of the handpiece.
Any water seepage ex- the cartridge cavity opening can be stopped by retightening the large brass retaining nut.
