INSTALLATION 

Suitable Plumbing Systems

Gravity Fed:

The thermostatic mixer must be fed from a cold 

water cistern (usually fitted in the loft space) and 

a hot water cylinder (usually fitted in the airing 

cupboard) providing nominally equal pressures.

Mains Pressurised Instantaneous Hot Water 

System (Combination Boiler):

The thermostatic mixer can be installed with 

systems of this type with balanced pressures. 

(Recommended Minimum Maintained Pressure: 

1.0 Bar

).

Unvented Mains Pressure System:

The thermostatic mixer can be installed with an 

unvented, stored hot water system.

Pumped System:

The thermostatic mixer can be installed with an 

inlet  pump  (twin  impeller). The  pump  must  be 

installed in a suitable location and in accordance 

with its instructions.

General

Installation must be carried out in accordance 

with these instructions, and must be conducted by 

designated, qualified and competent personnel.
The installation must comply with the “Water 

Supply Regulations 1999 (Water Fittings)” or any 

particular regulations and practices, specified by 

the local water company or water undertakers.

Note!

 Make sure that all site requirements 

correspond to the information given in section: 

‘Specifications’

. For Type 2 Valves see also 

supply conditions in section: 

‘Type 2 Valves’

.

1. 

The Mixer must not be installed in an area 

where it may freeze.

2.

  For stud partitions alternative fixings may be 

required.

3.

  Isolating valves 

must

 be installed close to the 

Mixer for ease of maintenance.

4.

  Pipework must be rigidly supported and avoid 

any strain on the connections.

5.

  Pipework dead-legs should be kept to a 

minimum.

6.

  Decide on a suitable position for the Mixer. 

The position of the Mixer and the Shower 

Fittings must provide a minimum gap of 25 mm 

between the spill-over level of the shower tray/

bath and the showerhead (refer to illustration). 

This is to prevent back-siphonage. For further 

information on the installation of your 

Shower 

Fittings

, refer to the Fittings Installation and 

User Guide.

 

Note!

 Only use Shower Fittings recommended 

by the manufacturer or supplier.
