1. INTRODUCTION
This booklet contains all the necessary fitting and
operating instructions for your MX Thermostatic bar
mixer valve.
Please read these instructions carefully. Read
through the whole of this book before beginning your
installation.
The installation MUST be carried out by a suitably
competent person after reading these instructions.
Care taken during the installation will provide a long
and trouble free life from your shower. For the best
performance within the specified running pressure
range a minimum flow of 5 litres per minute should
be available on both inlets.
This mixer valve is designed to operate on higher
pressure systems up to a maximum of 5 bar running
pressure. The mixer valve must not be subjected to
water temperatures above 80˚C. This mixer valve is
also suitable for thermal storage, unvented systems
and pumped gravity systems.
IMPORTANT: Before installing with a gas
instantaneous water heater, make sure it is capable
of delivering hot water at a minimum switch-on flow
rate of 3 litres per minute.
At flow rates between 3 and 8 litres per minute,
the appliance must be capable of raising the water
temperature to a minimum of 52˚C.
The water temperature at the inlet to the mixer valve
must remain relatively constant when flow rate
adjustments are made (refer to the water heater
operating manual to confirm compatibility with this
mixer valve).
