INSTALLATION
a) General conditions
NOTE: The outlet of the shower must not be
connected to any tap or fitting not
recommended by Triton Plc.
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
Use only the compression fittings supplied. DO
NOT solder fittings within the vicinity of the
valve unit as heat transfer can damage the seals
and thermostatic components.
NOTE: Suitable isolating valves (complying with
Water Regulation Byelaws) MUST be fitted on
the hot and cold water supplies to the shower
as an independent means of isolating the water
supplies should maintenance or servicing be
necessary.
When connecting pipework avoid using tight
90° elbows. Swept or formed bends will ensure
optimum performance.
The valve unit can be fitted in any orientation
(fig.7), but for a wall mounted sprayhead
installation, the plumbing will be simplified if
the outlet is fitted upwards. Access to the
integral strainers will also be improved with this
configuration.
The hot water inlet is identified with a red mark,
the cold water inlet with a blue mark. The
swivel inlets allow for either rising or falling hot
and cold water supplies. Note the swivel inlets
have ‘O’ seals to the body and do not require
PTFE tape or other means of sealing.
Gently screw the swivel inlets into the body of
the valve unit and stop as soon as resistance is
felt. Then back off by up to 1.5 turns to align
the inlet with the hot and cold supply pipes.
THE SWIVEL INLETS MUST NOT BE TIGHTENED
AGAINST THE VALVE BODY TO MAKE A SEAL
(fig.8).
The Triton dual control mixer valve includes a
mounting bracket which allows the installer to
mount the shower into a solid, stud partition or
other hollow wall structures. The bracket can
also be used for fitting in a shower cubicle or
panel providing the back of the cubicle or panel
is accessible.
