TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT RANGE

The mixed water temperature can be adjusted
from cold through to a top limit (which can be
pre-set during installation – factory set at
approximately 39°C), with full anti-scald
protection throughout the range.

Fig.2 shows a typical gravity fed installation. (The
distance between the bottom of the cold water
cistern and the sprayhead must be at least 2
metres).
Fig.3 depicts a typical combination boiler
installation.
Fig. 4 illustrates an unvented mains pressurised
hot water storage system.

DO NOT use jointing compounds on
pipework.

INSTANTANEOUS WATER HEATERS

APPLIANCE CAPABILITIES

In order to ensure the optimum performance from
the shower when connected to an instantaneous
water heater, the appliance must be capable of
raising the temperature of the incoming water by
45°C (81°F) and delivering a flow rate of not less
than 8 litres per minute.

A flow limiter is supplied for the insertion into the
shower head which controls the maximum flow of
8 litres per minute.

To fit the flow limiter unscrew the shower head
from the ball joint. Insert the flow limiter flat face
up into the shower head (fig.5) fit the flat face
washer and refit the shower head to the ball joint.

With the flow limiter fitted and when the system
is in use, the on/off flow control should be turned
fully anti-clockwise to full flow setting.
