Abode Storm Slimline AB2463 User manual

Important Technical Data:
Minimum water pressure: AB2463 = 0.4 bar No limiter) 0.5 bar with limiter)
Maximum operating pressure 5 bar*
Maximum recommended hot water temperature 70°C
*Note: If these pressures or temperatures are exceeded, even for short periods, damage can result.
In these instances a pressure reducing valve or TMV should be installed.
For manual mixing products we recommend the installation of a separate TMV2 product to reduce
the risk of accidental scalding.
All thermostatic products should be tested and cleaned at least once a year.
When drilling or preparing walls take care not to disturb existing water or electrical supplies that may
be buried within the wall.
Supply pipes should maintain the maximum diameter until immediately before the fitting.
Hot and cold supply pressures should be as closely balanced as possible for best results. The
differential between the hot and cold water supply temperatures should be sufficient to allow correct
mixing function.
Where hot and cold supply pressures are greatly imbalanced flow restricting valves or pressure
reducing valves should be installed on the supply with the greater incoming pressure.
Abode products are either WRAS approved or manufactured in accordance with recognised
European standards. Please ensure that your Abode product is fitted in accordance with Local
Water Byelaws. Where hot and cold water mix within any product, then suitable non return valves
should be installed to the hot and cold supplies to prevent backflow.
Whilst assembling this product take care not to accidentally loosen any screwed assemblies. PTFE
tape can be used to ensure watertight joins on threaded connections, do not over tighten
connections or allow pipes to be twisted or folded.
The installation should be periodically checked for damage, if the property is left unattended for a
prolonged period we recommend isolating water supplies.
All errors and omissions excepted.

accessible position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the any product valves and ease any future
maintenance. All serviceable parts should be given suitable access to allow easy future maintenance.
Shut off your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is closed. Ensure both the hot and cold water
supplies are isolated before commencing installation.
You should ensure that both the product and required fittings will fit into the depth and area of the mounting surface
available before installation. Roughly assemble the product and plumbing connections to establish the required sizes.
Before installing the new fitting it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the su ly i es in order to remove
any remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause
