INSTALLATION
The CliniMix
®
CMV2 Wall Mounted Hands Free Point Use mixing valves must be installed using the appropriate
Standard, Code of Practice and legislation applicable to point of install.
The CliniMix
®
CMV2 Wall Mounted Hands Free Point Use mixing valves must be installed by a licensed plumber.
If the valve is not installed correctly then it will not function correctly and may put the user in danger. It may also
void the warranty of the valve.
Prior to the installation of the valve, the system must be checked to ensure that the system operating conditions
fall within the recommended operating range of the CliniMix

valve. If the hot water supply temperature is greater than 80° Celsius, the valve may be damaged. If the
temperature of the hot water will rise above 80° Celsius a suitable temperature limiting valve must be fitted to
the hot water supply, prior to the inlet fittings. This temperature limiting valve must be installed as per the
m nuf turer’s nstru t ns t s mp rt nt th t th n ets dynamic supply pressures are 500kPa or less. If either
supply pressure exceeds 500kPa then a suitable pressure reducing valve must be fitted prior to the inlet control
valve to reduce the pressure to an acceptable limit.
These pressure redu ng v ves must e nst ed s per the m nuf turer’s nstru t ns T h eve pt mum
performance from the valve it is recommended that the inlet pressures are balanced to within 10% of each other.
To ensure that the mixing valve operates correctly, it is necessary that the pipework is thoroughly flushed with
clean water before the valve is installed. This will remove any physical contaminants from the pipework, ensuring
trouble-free operation. During the flushing procedure, care should be taken to prevent water damage occurring
to the surrounding area.
The valve should be installed so it can be easily accessed for maintenance or servicing.
During installation or servicing, heat must not be applied near the mixing valve or inlet fittings, as this will damage
the valve and inlet fittings internals. Failure to comply with this requirement will damage the valve and fittings. It
will put the user at risk, and it will void the warranty of the valve.
Note: To effectively control microbial hazards during system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance, the
requirements of local legislation shall be adhered to.
Note: In some installations, certain types of tapware devices such as flick mixers and solenoid valves are used. The water pressure
may be seen to spike outside that recommended for the valve, during rapid shut off conditions with these types of devices. Even
if the spike only lasts a split second it is still considered to be outside the operating conditions and may cause the valve to operate
incorrectly. In the event that this does occur, measures must be taken to control the spike, such as the installation of an inline
pressure reducing valve directly before the valve inlets.
