Table 1 Conditions of use for Type 2 valves
Valves operating outside of these conditions cannot guaranteed to perform as type 2.
Approval only applies when the valves are installed without the flow regulators.

MODULATING COMBI BOILER
This thermostatic shower valve is designed for use with modulating
combination boilers.
When installing on a modulating combination boiler it is sometimes possible
for the interaction of a thermostatic valve with the combi to cause the boiler
to cut out and cut in again, with the result that the water will become
alternatively cold and hot. To overcome this, a 4 L/min flow regulator
should be fitted upstream of the thermostatic valve. It should be fitted in any
15mm compression fitting in the dedicated cold supply pipe.
It is important to choose a compression fitting located in a position which is accessible after installation and
it must be fitted the correct way round for the direction of flow. The regulator can be fitted in either the inlet
or outlet side of the compression fitting. If fitting in an outlet side, ensure the o-ring is seated fully in the vis
-
ible rebate around the edge of the regulator. Use the tip of a small screwdriver or similar to achieve this.
Ensure the tail of the pipe is not fouling the regulator (shorten if required) and do up the compression fitting
as normal. In a minority of cases, where the boiler is of a type which stores a small quantity of very hot water,
it may also be necessary to fit a 4 l/min flow regulator in the hot supply.

Isolation valves MUST be fitted to permit future maintenance of these products. Strainers are
included with this product inside the check valve housing, see 5.8.
Isolation valves should be fitted as close as is practicable to the water supply inlets of the thermostatic
shower valve, in an easily accessible location. See 10 for more details.
