DOs
DON’Ts
• Check all joints and connections.
• Ensure that the ‘safe temperature’ has been set.
• Ensure the black plastic ‘temperature stop’ has
been fitted to avoid damage to the thermostatic
cartridge and enable the ‘safe temperature’ to
be operational.
• Ensure that the thermostatic valve, connected
controls and outlets work satisfactory.
• Instruct the customer how to override the ‘safe
temperature’ setting. Also ensure the customer
knows the dangers of overriding the setting and
understands that the override control is to be
returned to the ‘safe temperature’ setting after
use.
• Hand these instructions along with the cleaning
leaflet to the customer.
• Ensure that the valve is suitably protected
from damage and decorating materials during
installation.
• Do not use excessive force when turning
the thermostatic cartridge spindle. This will
damage the cartridge. To avoid damage, when
setting the ‘safe temperature’ the thermostatic
cartridge spindle must be turned by hand only.
The spindle will require only minor adjustment.
Turning the spindle to the end of its travel and
forcing it beyond this point will cause internal
damage to the thermostatic cartridge.
