Hot Water Maximum: 65˚C
Recommended 60-65˚C
Cold Water Minimum: 5˚C
Recommended 10-15˚C
Operating Pressure Range: Min. 0.2 bar, Max. 5.0 bar
DCV valves are suitable for gravity stored, gravity boosted, balanced high
pressure and combination boiler systems.
N.B. The combination boiler MUST have a minimum rating of 24kW
(80,000 Btu) and be of the type fitted with a fully modulating gas valve.
Boiler performance may aect outlet temperature.
Operating pressures on hot and cold supplies should be kept as even as
possible in order to ensure the maximum eciency of the mixer.

Arrange the pipework so that the hot water is connected from the
left to the inlet marked ‘H’ and the cold from the right to the inlet
marked ‘C’, on the valve body.
For single outlet: The outlet pipe connects to the top of the valve
body.
For dual outlet: The fixed head outlet pipe connects to the left outlet
(Outlet 1) on the valve body.
The adjustable head outlet pipe connects to the right outlet (Outlet
2) on the valve body.
For all models: Ensure sucient pipe length; the pipe ends insert
into the valve inlets and outlet(s) a minimum of 10mm.
3
Connect the valve loosely to the pipework, do not tighten.
4
Hold the valve in position inside the cavity and mark the screw holes.
If required, disconnect the valve, drill the holes and insert the wall
plugs.
5
Connect the valve body to the pipework using the copper olives and
compression nuts provided, but do not tighten.
6
Secure the valve body with the wall screws.
7
Tighten the compression nuts to create a watertight seal.
8
Reinstate the water supply and check for leaks.

9
Ensuring the filter nuts are left accessible, plasterboard and tile the
cavity wall ensuring there is an adequate gap between the tiles and
the valve body. An access hole of 120mm high x 110mm wide is
required to allow for any future maintenance.
