INTRODUCTION
Please read these instructions carefully and keep in a safe place for future reference.
General Installation Requirements
The installation must comply with regulations of the Local Water Authority as contained in
their bylaws.
All of the taps in this range are single flow (the hot and cold water mix in the
body) and should therefore be supplied with hot and cold water at balanced pressures,
both from the tank or both from the mains (via a combination boiler for example). If the taps
are not supplied at balanced pressures then the mixer will not function correctly
. It is very
important that all pipe work is flushed thoroughly after installation to avoid damaging the
ceramic discs.
Minimum/Maximum working pressure
These taps are suitable for high and low pressure installations they are fitted with a ceramic
disc cartridge which provides a good flow rate with very smooth movement.
To ensure that
the mixer works adequately under low pressure, the cold water storage tank should be at
least 2 metres above the highest installed position.
The maximum water pressure is 10 bar
(note: mains cold water is normally supplied at between 2 and 3 bar).
For installations where the mains pressure exceeds 5 bar a pressure reducing valve
should be fitted.
Approvals
All products are manufactured using materials tested and approved under the Water Bylaws
Scheme and comply with requirements of British Standard 5412: 1996 where applicable.
WARNING
Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the
supply pipes in order to remove any remaining swarf, solder or other impurities.
Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause problems or damage to the
workings of the mixer.
These hints have been prepared for your guidance, you must exercise due care at all times.
We do not accept responsibility for any problems that may occur through incorrect
installation.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
SYMPTOM
SOLUTION
After installation the shower runs HOT or
COLD and will not mix.
Hot and cold supplies are plumbed the wrong
way round.
Shower will not run hot enough when first
installed.
Maximum temperature needs adjusting, see
‘temperature setting’.
Cold water tracking through the valve into
the hot water system.
Check and clean the filters.
V
ery low flow or no flow (gravity).
Check hot and cold feeds (the valve will shut
down if either the hot or cold supply fails.
CARE OF YOUR SHOWER VALVE & RISER
We recommend cleaning the valve with a soft damp cloth.
We strongly advise against the use of ALL cleaning products.
SHOWER ROSE & HANDSET
Your shower rose and handset has rub
clean nozzles for easy cleaning. Rub
your fingers across the rubber nozzles to
remove any scale or debris.
If you live in a hard water area you might
have to repeat this procedure regularly.
