WATER SUPPLY CONDITIONS
INTRODUCTION
This CliniMix
®
CP-BS Inwall Thermo Progressive ShowerMixer w/ GalvinCare Handle W&C is manufactured to
the highest standards. When installed the supply conditions detailed below must be observed.
SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
This mixer is designed to be installed on all types of plumbing systems.
Hot and cold water supply pressures should be reasonably balanced; however, the mixer will function within
specification on unequal pressures up to 10:1.
The mixer has integral isolating valves which permit servicing of the strainer, check valve/flow regulator and
thermostatic cartridge. They are also used for thermal disinfection.
The minimum pressure for the correct thermal operation is 20kPa. However, to achieve an acceptable flow
performance at very low pressures it may be necessary to remove the combined check valve and flow regulators
and replace them with simple check valves.

INSTALLATION
The CliniMix
®
Thermostatic Progressive Mixing Valves must be installed using the appropriate Standard, Code
of Practice and legislation applicable to point of install.
The CliniMix
®
Thermostatic Progressive 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 90° Celsius, the valve may be damaged. If the
temperature of the hot water will rise above 90° 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 rtant that both inlet 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 reducing valves must be installed as 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 pipe-work is thoroughly flushed with
