WATER REGULATION REQUIREMENTS
It is important to ensure that the water supplies to your taps and mixers are connected in accordance with the water
regulations (WRAS) requirements and good plumbing practice.
It is Pegler’s recommendation and good plumbing practice that the supplies of hot and cold water to the bath mixer
should be at equal (balanced) pressures in order to provide a consistent flow. Supplies should be from a common
source, either mains or tank fed. If supplies are not equal pressures then non return valves should be fitted.
WATER SUPPLY PRESSURES
Xia
fittings have been designed to function under the following conditions.
Minimum supply pressure 0.1bar Maximum supply pressure 6 bar
Should excessive flow be experienced, then it may be necessary to install a Pressure reducing valve (Pegler PRV2). It is
our recommendation and good plumbing practice that a service valve (fig.806) should be installed in the inlet supply
line.
NOTE: On certain brassware the product is supplied with a flow straightner.
Pre-installation Checks:
1.
Ensure that there is sufficient space to install the product without it hampering its operation. Ensure that
when fitting the basin / bath product that the product will not foul on the overflow. When fitting in a corner
position make sure there is sufficient clearance for the use of the handles.
2.
Ensure that the outlet will protude sufficiently into the basin / bath and will clear any obstructions.
