2.
For stud partitions alternative fixings may be
required.
3.
Isolating valves
must
be installed close to the
Mixer for ease of maintenance.
4.
Pipework must be rigidly supported and avoid
any strain on the connections.
5.
Pipework dead-legs should be kept to a
minimum.
6.
Decide on a suitable position for the Mixer.
The position of the Mixer and the Shower
Fittings must provide a minimum gap of 25 mm
between the spill-over level of the shower tray/
bath and the showerhead (refer to illustration).
This is to prevent back-siphonage. For further
information on the installation of your
Shower
Fittings
, refer to the Fittings Installation and
User Guide.
Note!
Only use Shower Fittings recommended
by the manufacturer or supplier.
Note!
The thermostatic mixing valve will be
installed in such a position that maintenance of
the TMV and its valves and the commissioning
and testing of the TMV can be undertaken.
Suitable Plumbing Systems
Gravity Fed:
The thermostatic mixer must be fed from a cold
water cistern (usually located in the loft space) and
a hot water cylinder (usually located in the airing
cupboard) providing nominally equal pressures.
Mains Pressurised Instantaneous Hot Water
System (Combination Boiler):
The thermostatic mixer can be installed with
systems of this type with balanced pressures.
(Recommended Minimum Maintained Pressure:
1.0 Bar
).
Note!
On combination boiler systems we
recommend that the thermostatic mixer is
operated in the maximum flow position in order to
achieve the minimum flow rate required to ignite
and run the boiler.
Unvented Mains Pressure System:
The thermostatic mixer can be installed with an
unvented, stored hot water system.
Pumped System:
The thermostatic mixer can be installed with an
inlet pump (twin impeller). The pump must be
installed in a suitable location and in accordance
with its instructions.
General
Installation must be carried out in accordance
with these instructions, and must be conducted by
designated, qualified and competent personnel.
The installation must comply with the “Water
Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations or Scottish
Byelaws” or any particular regulations and
practices, specified by the local water company
or water undertakers.
Note!
Make sure that all site requirements
correspond to the information given in section:
‘Specifications’
. For Type 2 Valves see also
supply conditions in the TMV2 Requirements
Manual.
