Exe Inclusive 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 shower control
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.
