Installation
IMPORTANT: Please ensure both supply pipes are flushed before connecting the
mixing valve to prevent plumbing/pipe debris from entering the mixing valve.
Also ensure that the mixing valve is situated in a place where the commissioning,
testing and maintenance of to TMV standards can be undertaken.
Please read the TMV guide supplied with this product for more information.
If you have purchased MT503CP; we advise installing isolation valves as close as its
practical to the mixing valve for ease of maintenance.
Please check component drawings for completeness before starting installation.
1. Plumb the pipes to the desired
location for the mixing valve,
ensuring that they’re secure in
position.
2. Connect the valve to the pipework,
We recommend using a high
tightening torque (45-50Nm) on
all compression fittings to secure
the valve.
IMPORTANT: Please ensure both
supply pipes are flushed before
connecting the mixing valve to
prevent plumbing/pipe debris from
entering the mixing valve.
Remember: Ensure the valve is fitted
with the hot inlet on the left, cold
on the right when viewed from the
front.
3. Connect your chosen outlet to the
mixing valve. Turn on the water
supply and check all joints and
connections for any leaks.
4. Please refer to the TMV guide in
order to test and commission the
mixing valve.

General Cleaning
Bristan products are made from
premium materials, with hand polishing
and electroplated finishes.
Your shower kit should be regularly
cleaned with warm water, a mild
pH-neutral liquid soap, and polished
with a soft cloth. Any residues from
soap, toothpaste, shampoos and
shower gels can cause blemishes if
not rinsed o straight after use.
Maintenance
3. Remove the thermostat (10/17/18),
piston assembly (11/13), thermostat
housing (9/16/19) and return spring
(11/12/14).
4. Soak all components in a suitable
solution until fully de-scaled. Check
all seals and O-Rings for damage
and replace if necessary.
5. Re-grease parts using a WRAS
Approved grease and reverse the
steps to re-assemble the valve.
6. Turn on the water supply and check
all joints and connections for any
leaks.
7. Follow the Temperature Adjustment
process to check and re-calibrate
the maximum temperature.
Cartridge Cleaning
To clean the cartridge, follow
the steps below:
1. Isolate the hot and cold water
supplies. Remove the anti-tamper
cover (1).
Note: If you have purchased the
MT503CP-ISO or MT503CP-ISOELB,
simply turn the screws in the
isolation assemblies to isolate the
water supplies.
2. Unscrew the head assembly (2/3)
from the body (12/15) using a
suitable spanner.
IMPORTANT: Note the position of
the Adjusting Screw (2/24) before
removing. It will need to be replaced
in the same position in order to
maintain the current maximum
temperature.
Household bleaches and cleaners
contain harsh chemicals and may
damage the surface finish. Avoid using
abrasive cloths, scouring pads, scrub
sponges, steel wool or anything similar.

outlet temperature of 43°C.
It can be adjusted to have a maximum
temperature between 30°C - 55°C
IMPORTANT: To comply with the
TMV scheme, this valve cannot have a
maximum outlet temperature of 44°C.
If set higher, it will no longer comply
with the TMV scheme.
