MOUNTING - EXPOSED THERMOSTATIC SHOWER :
1. Use the backplate as a template for the fixing holes.
2. Drill and plug the wall to suit screws provided.
3. Secure backplate to the wall.
4. Flush out pipe work before connecting the valve.
5. Locate valve body onto the backplate and lock in position with the 4 grub screws provided.
6. Please note - Before connecting the inlet pipes you must read
"TYPES OF INSTALLATION"
to ensure
correct restrictors and filters are fitted.
7. Connect inlet pipes to the valve using the compression fittings on the elbows. Ensure the two lose flanges
are used to cover over the holes in the tiles around the exposed pipes.
8. Check joints are watertight.
9. Push in the four chrome plugs into the body holes.
MOUNTING - CONCEALED THERMOSTATIC SHOWER :
1. Flush out pipe work before connecting the valve.
2. Screw in the four mounting pins provided, into the four holes located on the diameter of the valve at the
rear end of the body. The holes in the pins should be then aligned parallel with the body.
3. Locate the valve in position and mark the holes of the mounting pins for drilling.
4. Drill and plug the wall and secure the valve body in position with the four screws provided. (Depending
on pipe layout/access it could be beneficial to connect the inlet pipes before securing the valve in the wall)
5. Please note - Before connecting the inlet pipes you must read
"TYPES OF INSTALLATION"
to ensure
correct restrictors and filters are fitted.
6. Connect elbows to inlet nut using the ‘o’ ring to seal. Both elbow and seal are supplied lose.
7. Connect inlet pipes to valve elbows with compression fittings.
8. Ensure isolating valves in elbows are open.
9. Check joints are watertight before making good the wall around the valve.
10. Fit seal onto concealing plate internal diameter.
11. Apply silicone to the back of the concealing plate [outer diameter] and lubricate the seal using washing
up liquid or similar.
12. Assemble by pushing over the valve body and press up to the wall, remove any surplus silicone.
SHOWER VALVE OPERATION:
The handle adjusts temperature only. However first turning the handle anti-clockwise will switch on the
water to the maximum flow. Further rotation will progressively increase the temperature to the maximum
factory set temperature of 44°C (temperature measured with an open outlet.) Please note 44°C with an
open outlet is described as water flowing straight from the valve. No hose or fixed pipe is involved. Once
fitted with hose or concealed pipe work the outlet temperature will be less due to heat lost in its travel.
A fully open valve will allow 247° of rotary movement for full operation. The temperature if required to be
different from the factory set 44°C can be done so and set to your individual requirements. See
MAX
TEMPERATURE SETTING.
This valve performs satisfactorily without flow limiters although it is recommended that they be fitted for the
purpose of economical water usage. The valve can be used in conjunction with most makes of pump on the
market. If you are in doubt or require further information contact us on 0870 1200285.
*With certain permutations of combi-boiler hot supply and mains supply it may be necessary to fit the gray
6-litre limiter.
**IMPORTANT. It is a requirement of instantaneous electric water heaters that a stable flow of water passes
through the heater. Using a flow stabiliser in the supply to the heater can satisfy this requirement. It should
be adjusted to give a flow temperature if 45-50°C from the heater.
SHOWER VALVE INSTALLATION :
Exposed Shower :
Before mounting the exposed valve to the wall, the positioning for pipe work should be decided. Three inlet
positions - top, bottom and rear are available simply by rotating the elbows in the valve body. With the elbow
screwed fully against the valve body it can be unscrewed to suit existing pipe work with centres between
143mm and 151mm, any adjustments should be made to both elbows. Both hot and cold supplies must be
connected to the correct inlet ports identified. The Pegler valve is manufacture against a standard type of
installation, which is for water supplies to be hot on the left and cold on the right when viewing the valve from
the front. If your existing pipe work is "hot on the right, cold on the left," the valve can be rotated through
180°. The outlet adapter & blanking plug can be reversed to give top or bottom outlet as required.
Concealed Shower :
Before mounting the concealed valve to the wall, the positioning for pipe work should be decided. Three
Inlet positions - top, bottom and rear are available simply by rotating the elbows before tightening the elbow
nut. The valve body requires a hole depth of between 65mm to 95mm measured to the finished wall and a
90mm min-160mm max diameter, plus the depth of the retaining screws need to be taken into account
when deciding the valve positioning. It is essential that when installing a concealed mixing valve full access to
the valve can be achieved for servicing purposes. For this reason the elbows provided are fitted with isolat-
ing valves which are essential to the installation. The inlet centres on all concealed models are fixed at
172mm. Rear access to the valve is always preferred wherever possible (e.g. an airing cupboard or panelled
wall), as this would negate the need to disturb any tiling or decorative features at the front of the valve.
Please note - If you find that your installation will mean hot is on the right, cold is on the left, the valve will
need to be rotated through 180° before assembling to the wall. Remove the blanking plug and outlet adapter
using a flat screwdriver and 12mm A/F Allen key respectively.
Please note - Failure to attach the correct feed to the correct inlet will cause valve malfunction.
