For pressures exceeding 500kPa, install a pressure reducing valve.
Failure to do so will void the warranty.
If you have performance issue please check there are no flow restrictors between the hose and the handpiece or the
hose and the shower elbow. Remove any restrictors with rubber washers.
Plumbers Note: Do not pressure test this mixer under static pressure.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
Is the lever between 7 and 8 O’clock? When installed correctly the lever should be close to 7 O’clock position, at 38°C, delivering about 6L per minute,
where the relative hot/cold pressures are not greater than 10:1. We recommend installing the supplied Needle Valve if the cold pressure is greater than
500kPa or there is a greater than 10/1 ratio of cold to hot kPa (The needle valve should be about an 1/8th turn open).
2.
If the lever is beyond 8 O’clock position, it is likely:
– One of the valve inserts has been removed from the hot/cold ports;
– The supply elbow has a restrictive bore (i.e. less than 10mm);
– The supply hose has a bore size less than 9.5mm;
– The handpiece is not a free-flow single function model
– The WELs restrictor hasn’t been removed.
– The Pressure reducing valve has not been readjusted (the feed valve on the LP Hot water cylinder should always be readjusted when installing a new
mixer, because the head pressure drops over time. To readjust the Feed Valve (Pressure reducing valve) – turn the adjuster screw clockwise until the first
drips appear from the relief pipe (protruding from the roof) or relief valve then back it off half-a-turn and re-secure the locking nut.
3.
If the hot/cold mix is temperamental where the lever positon is within 7-8 O’clock position, either the hot or cold pressures will just require a slight tweak.
4.
Check that the hot and cold supply lines have not been incorrectly plumbed in, i.e. such as the cold supply connected to the hot inlet and hot supply
connected to the cold inlet. This is especially bad for Unequal Low systems as the hot port on the shower mixer body can enlarge meaning that the valve
inserts will also need to be swapped.
5.
When using with Unequal Low systems, it needs to be remembered the requirement for a minimum of 450mm of straight outlet pipe, before any bends.
