This fitting is a mixing device and therefore operating pressures (hot and cold supply)

should be kept as balanced as possible in order to assure optimum efficiency.
When installed, the fitting must comply with the requirements of the Water Supply 

(Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and Scottish Byelaws 2004. 

For further information, contact the Water Regulations department of your local water 

supplier (see the WRAS website www.wras.co.uk for details) or the Water Regulations 
Advisory Scheme by email (info

@

wras.co.uk) or telephone: 01495848454.

Before making any inlet pipe connections, all supply pipes MUST be thoroughly flushed to 

remove debris. Failure to do so could result in damage or low flow from the mixer unit.
The fitting of strainers is recommended as close as practicable to the water supply 

inlets of the thermostatic mixing valve.
If the concealed valve is connected to pipework that is fixed by soldering, it is essential 

the concealed valve is protected to prevent the check valves, thermostatic cartridge and 

headworks being exposed to elevated temperatures which can cause internal damage.

Please note:

 if installing in an enclosed environment, access should be left for servicing 

and maintenance. No costs relating to inadequate access can be accepted.
