The mixer has integral isolating valves which permit servicing of the strainer, check valve/flow regulator and
thermostatic cartridge. They are also used for thermal disinfection.
The minimum pressure for the correct thermal operation is 20kPa. However, to achieve an acceptable flow
performance at very low pressures it may be necessary to remove the combined check valve and flow
regulators and replace them with simple check valves to facilitate thermal disinfection.

INSTALLATION
The CliniMix
®
Thermostatic Progressive Mixing Valves must be installed using the appropriate Standard,
Code of Practice and legislation application to each state and following the details outlined in this section.
The CliniMix
®
Thermostatic Progressive Mixing Valves must be installed by a licensed plumber, or where
applicable, a licensed plumber who has undertaken T.A.F.E. training in Thermostatic Mixing Valves.
Note: To effectively control microbial hazards during system design, installation, commissioning and
maintenance, the requirements outlined in AS/NZ3666 and local legislation shall be adhered to.
If the valve is not installed correctly then it will not function correctly and may put the user in danger. It may
also void the warranty of the valve.
Prior to the installation of the valve, the system must be checked to ensure that the system operating
conditions fall within the recommended operating range of CliniMix
®
Progressive Thermostatic Mixing Valve.
If the hot water supply temperature is greater than 90° Celsius, the valve may be damaged. If the
temperature of the hot water will rise above 90° Celsius a suitable temperature limiting valve must be fitted to
the hot water supply, prior to the inlet fittings. This temperature limiting valve must be installed as per the
manufacturer’s instructions. It is important that both inlet dynamic supply pressures are 500kPa or less. If
either supply pressure exceeds 500kPa then a suitable pressure reducing valve must be fitted prior to the
inlet control valve to reduce the pressure to an acceptable limit.
These pressure reducing valves must be installed as per the
manufacturer’s instructions. To achieve optimum
performance from the valve it is recommended that the inlet pressures are balanced to within 10% of each
other.
The water quality conditions should be checked to ensure they do not exceed the limits as listed in AS3500.4,
Section 3.7.1. If they do exceed these limits, then it will be necessary to install a water softener or water
treatment device.
INSTALLATION COMPLIANCE: Galvin Specialised products must be installed in accordance with these
installation instructions and in accordance with AS/NZS 3500, the PCA and your local regulatory requirements.
Water and/or electrical supply conditions must also comply to the applicable national and/or state standards.
Failing to comply with these provisions shall void the product warranty and may affect the performance of the
product.
