222-t3 dk and 215-t3 oem

The mixing valve is supported by the inlet and 

outlet pipework only, which must be suitably and 

securely fastened.
Inlets and outlet are external BSP union, intended 

to accept flat-faced connectors (see note). It is 

recommended that such union connections are 

used, so that the mixing valve body can be readily 

removed from its pipework for maintenance 

purposes.

Note!

 Flat faced connectors are 

not

 supplied with 

215-t3 oem, 215 dk or 222 dk models.

1.

  Three additional connectors (see note above) 

are supplied (2 elbows, 1 straight, terminating 

in  compression  connections),  which  are 

interchangeable to the inlets and outlet. 

Select the most appropriate configuration for 

the intended installation, and, with the nylon 

washers in place, secure to the mixing valve 

body.

2. 

Fit and secure the supply pipework.

3. Important! 

Flush through the hot and cold 

supplies thoroughly before connection to 

mixing valve.

4.

  Connect the inlet and outlet pipework to the 

valve.

 

Note!

 Make sure that the hot and cold supplies 

have been connected to the correct inlets, and 

that all connections are watertight.

5.

  Refer to section: 

‘Commissioning’

Note!

 Rada offset connectors and offset pipe 

concealing plates are not supplied with this mixing 

valve, but are available separately as optional 

accessories.

1.

  Check that the hot and cold supplies are piped 

to the correct inlet positions. Supplies (pipe 

centres between 128-178 mm) must terminate 

in 1/2" BSP internal sockets to within 3 mm, 

above or below, the final wall surface.

 Note! 

It is essential that inlet supply sockets 

are parallel, and square with wall surface.

2.

  Join offset connectors and screw into sockets 

so that faced edge is 34 mm proud of 

final 

wall 

surface (refer to illustration). Shorten 1/2" BSP 

external thread, if necessary.

34 mm

3/4" Union 

Thread

1/2" Thread

(shorten if necessary)

3.

  Screw pipe concealing plates onto offset 

connectors.

4.  Caution! It is essential at this point 

that the supply pipework is thoroughly 

flushed through before connection to the 

mixer.

 Failure to do so may result in product 

malfunction and will not be covered under the 

guarantee.

5.

  With the nylon washers in position, offer up the 

mixing valve and tighten the union nuts onto 

the offset connectors.

6.

  Connect the outlet pipework:

6.1

  for 15 mm compression pipework outlet 

connection: fit the compression nut and 

olive (refer to illustration).

6.2

  for 1/2" BSP union outlet connection: fit 

flat-faced insert, press in firmly (refer to 

illustration).
