Installation
Suitable Plumbing Systems
Gravity Fed:
The thermostatic mixer must be fed from a cold water cistern (usually fitted in the
loft space) and a hot water cylinder (usually fitted in the airing cupboard) providing
nominally equal pressures.
Gas Heated System:
The thermostatic mixer can be installed with a combination boiler.
Unvented Mains Pressure System:
The thermostatic mixer can be installed with an unvented, stored hot water system.
Mains Pressurised Instantaneous Hot Water System:
The thermostatic mixer can be installed with systems of this type with balanced
pressures.
Pumped System:
The thermostatic mixer can be installed with an inlet pump (twin impeller). The
pump must be installed on the floor next to the hot water cylinder.
General
1.
Installation of the shower must be carried out in accordance with these
instructions by qualified, competent personnel.
2. The plumbing installation must comply with all national or local water regulations
and all relevant building regulations, or any particular regulation or practice
specified by the local water supply company.
3. Make sure all pressures and temperatures comply with the requirements of the
shower. See ‘Specifications’.
4.
Full bore / non restrictive isolating valves must be fitted in a readily accessible
position adjacent to the shower to facilitate maintenance of the shower.
DO NOT use a valve with a loose washer plate (jumper) as this can lead to a
build up of static pressure.
5. Use copper pipe for all plumbing.
6. DO NOT apply excessive force to plumbing connections; always provide
mechanical support when making plumbing connections. Any soldered joints
should be made before connecting the shower. Pipework must be rigidly
supported and avoid any strain on the connections.
7. Pipework dead-legs should be kept to a minimum.
