Manual mixer shower

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
DO NOT
use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
DO NOT
solder fittings near the mixer unit
as heat can transfer along the pipework and
damage the mixer valve.
DO NOT
subject the unit to a water temperature
above 80°C during installation, use, maintenance
or disinfection.
IMPORTANT:
• The layout and sizing of pipework
MUST
be such that nominally equal inlet supply
pressures are achieved and the effects of
other draw-offs are minimised.
• The pipe-work should be installed such
that other taps and appliances being
operated elsewhere on the premises do not
significantly affect the flow
• When connecting pipe-work avoid using
tight 90° elbows; swept or formed bends will
give the best performance.
• The hot water pipe entry
MUST
be made to
the left-hand side inlet, marked HOT, ‘H’ or
with a red/orange label.
• Suitable isolating valves (complying with
Water Regulations and Bylaws)
MUST
be
fitted on the hot and cold water supplies
to the shower as an independent means
of isolating the water supplies should
maintenance or servicing be necessary.
• It is preferable to flush the pipe-work to clear
the system of debris and check for leaks
before connecting to the mixer.
(Commercial applications)
• Triton recommends for all commercial
applications that, easily accessible, in-line
filters are used to aid maintenance.
Hard water areas
a. If it is intended to operate the shower
in areas of hard water (above 200-ppm
temporary hardness), a scale inhibitor may
have to be fitted. For advice on the scale
inhibitor, please contact Customer Service.
b. For best performance the showerhead
MUST
be regularly cleaned to remove scale and
debris.
WATER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
This mixer shower is suitable for:
• Gravity water systems.
• Pumped gravity systems.
• Fully modulating type combination boilers.
• Multi-point hot water heaters.
• Thermal storage.
• Unvented systems.
When installing this mixer with a Combination or
multi-point boiler, it may be necessary to install
flow regulation.
Check that the appliance is capable of delivering
hot water at a minimum switch-on flow rate
of 3 litres per minute. At flow rates between 3
and 8 litres per minute, the appliance
MUST
be
capable of raising the water temperature to 52°C
(minimum).
Water temperature at the inlet of the mixer valve
MUST
remain relatively constant when flow rate
adjustments are made (refer to the appliance-
operating manual to confirm compatibility with
this mixer shower).
Where thermal store systems and instantaneous
gas water heaters are used, if excessive draw-
off take place the appliance may not be able
to maintain an adequate output temperature.
This could result in the shower temperature
becoming noticeably cooler.
The hot supply temperature
MUST
remain a
minimum of 10°C hotter than the required blend
temperature for optimum performance.
