Push button mixer shower

TYPICAL DOMESTIC INSTALLATIONS

Pumped Gravity Fed Systems (fig.1)

The mixer shower MUST be fed from a cold 
water cistern and hot water cylinder providing 
nominally equal pressures.
The mixer shower may be used with a gravity fed 
system with a pump to boost pressures as shown.

Please refer to the pump installation guide to 
establish the minimum head requirements for 
automatic operation of the pump

.

Instantaneous Gas-heated Systems,  

e.g. combination boilers (fig.2)

The mixer shower MUST be installed with a 
multi-point gas water heater or combination 
boiler of a fully modulating design i.e. to 
maintain relatively stable hot water temperatures.
A drop tight pressure reducing valve MUST 
be fitted if the supply pressures exceed 5 bar 
running.
An expansion vessel 

MAY

 be fitted, and regularly 

maintained, to prevent the shower mixer being 
damaged by excess pressures. This may already 
be installed within the boiler (check with the 
manufacturer) and is in addition to the normally 
larger central heating expansion vessel.
