Positioning the mixing valve
The Mixing Valve can be positioned on
either a wall surface or flat on the floor.
(Refer to the diagrams for the correct
orientation of the Mixing Valve).
The Mixing Valve can be installed in either
an airing cupboard, loft space or under the
bath. Do not site the Mixing Valve where it
may be subjected to freezing conditions or
ambient temperatures over 40ºC.
The maximum distance from the Mixing
Valve to the Wireless controller must not
exceed 10 metres as this is beyond the
operating range of the wireless controller.
Wireless installation considerations
As with any wireless / radio product:
- Metallic lined materials or metal
objects (such as steel baths or metal
tanks, etc.) can significantly reduce the
operating range of the wireless interface
or prevent operation.
- Interference from other radio signals
has the potential to affect the ability of the
wireless interface to function correctly.
Note: If the Mixing Valve loses wireless
communication with the controller, the
shower will automatically turn off safely. Vertically up on the wall
DO NOT INSTALL UPSIDE DOWN ON
THE WALL!
Vertically down on the wall
Flat on the floor
DO NOT INSTALL HORIZONTALLY ON

Water Requirements
This fitting needs to be installed in
accordance with the following Installation
Requirements and Notes (IRN) to ensure
they meet the requirements of the Water
Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999
and the Scottish Byelaws 2004.
The fitting shall be installed so that its
outlet discharges above the spill-over
level of any appliance as indicated on the
illustration below.
For backflow protection in premises or
installations up to, and including Fluid
Category 3 and 5.
The vertical distance of the outlet above
the spill-over level shall be not less than
20mm or twice the diameter of the inlet
pipe to the fitting, which ever is the
greater. If the fitting cannot be installed
as indicated it shall be installed with a
backflow prevention arrangement suitable
for the Fluid Category.
If the shower is to be installed in a hard
water area, we recommend that an in-line
scale inhibitor is fitted which will prolong
the life of the shower. Please refer to your
supplier for advice.
Warning: the shower must not be
installed in an area subject to freezing
conditions. Do not use if you suspect the
shower is frozen, this will damage the
shower unit.
Maximum ambient temperature: 40ºC.
A minimum working inlet pressure of
0.1MPa (1bar) at a minimum flow rate of
10 litres per minute is recommended for
full performance.
The maximum static inlet pressure must
not exceed 1.0MPa (10bar).
If it is intended to operate the shower
above the recommended operating /
dynamic pressure, a suitable pressure
reducing valve (PRV) should be used.
Water regulations stipulate that a
removable showerhead be constrained by
a fixed or sliding attachment (hose
retainer supplied) so that it can only
discharge water at a point not less that
20mm above the spill-over lever of the
bath or shower tray or other fixed
appliance.
