INTRODUCTION
This book contains all the necessary fitting and
operating instructions for your Triton mixer
shower. Please read them carefully and read
through the whole of this book before beginning
your installation.
The shower installation must be carried out by
a suitably competent person and in sequence of
this instruction book.
Care taken during the installation will give a long
and trouble free life from your mixer shower.
SITE REQUIREMENTS
The installation must be in accordance with
Water Regulations and Bylaws.
Water pressure requirements
Running water pressure:
Gravity fed
- 0.1 bar min.
1.0 bar max.
Mains fed
- 1.0 bar min.
5.0 bar max.
Maximum static water pressure:
Gravity and mains - 10 bar
This mixer shower is designed for use with
traditional low pressure gravity water systems,
using a cold water cistern and hot water cylinder,
as well as for the higher pressure systems found
in the UK up to a maximum of 5 bar running
pressure.
For effective operation of the internal seals, the
maximum static pressure must not be exceeded.
Pressure reducing valve
On sites where the running pressure is above 5
bar, the use of a suitably sized pressure reducing
valve fitted in the cold mains supply pipework
can provide nominally equal pressures at the
mixer shower.
Water minimum flow rate
For best performance within the specified
running pressure range a minimum flow of
8 litres per minute should be available to both
inlets.
Water temperature requirements
Maximum hot water temperature: = 80°C
Recommended maximum:
= 65°C
Minimum hot water temperature: = 52°C
Maximum cold water temperature: = 20°C
The mixer shower MUST NOT be subjected to
water temperatures above 80°C.
BS 6700 recommends that the temperature of
stored water should never exceed 65°C.
A stored water temperature of 60°C is considered
sufficient to meet all normal requirements and
will minimise the effects of scale in hard water
areas.
SAFETY WARNINGS
a.
DO NOT
choose a position where the
shower could become frozen.
b.
DO NOT
connect this mixer shower to any
form of tap or fitting not recommended by
the manufacturer.
c.
DO NOT
allow the inlet pressure or flow
rates to operate outside the guidelines laid
out in ‘site requirements’.
d.
DO NOT
connect the mixer shower to a
gravity hot supply and a mains cold supply
or vice versa.
