Thermostatic bar mixer shower

TYPICAL DOMESTIC INSTALLATIONS

Domestic Gravity Fed Systems (

fig.2) 

The mixer shower 

MUST

 be fed from a cold 

water cistern and hot water cylinder providing 
nominally equal pressures. There 

MUST

 be 

a minimum of one metre head of water. The 
minimum head distance is measured from the 
base of the cold water cistern to top of the 
shower head.

If valves are gravity fed then supply pressure 
should be verified to ensure conditions of use are 
appropriate for the valve.

Pumped Gravity Fed Systems (

fig.3)

The mixer shower 

MUST

 be fed from a cold 

water cistern and hot water cylinder providing 
nominally equal pressures.

The mixer shower may be used with a gravity fed 
system with a pump to boost pressures as shown; 
please refer to the pump installation guide to 
establish the minimum head requirements for 
automatic operation of the pump.
