Abode Chao AB4042 User manual

Important Technical Data
Minimum operating pressure – 0.75 bar*
Maximum operating pressure 5.0 bar*
Maximum hot water temperature 70°C*
Recommended hot water temperature 46°C
ote: If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for
short periods, damage can result. In these instances a
thermostatic mixing or pressure reducing valve 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.
Hot and cold supply pressures should be as closely balanced as
possible for best results. Supply pipes should maintain the
maximum diameter until immediately before the fitting. The
differential between the hot and cold water supply temperatures
should be sufficient to allow correct mixing function.

All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage and completeness prior to
installation; you should read these instructions throughout before commencing installation.
We do not accept responsibility for problems that may occur through improper installation. Always ensure you have
sufficient hot and cold water pressure available to allow correct function before specifying or installing this product.
We strongly recommend installing particle filters and isolation valves to both the hot and cold feed pipes in an
accessible position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any 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.

Turn off the tap and check carefully for any leaks around all connections on the fitting and adjoining plumbing.
If possible return to the installation after a longer period to double check for slower leaks. If pressure testing equipment is
available check the installation to the maximum recommended pressure.
Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then place a bag over the product to protect the
tap until it is ready for use.
