3. Specification
Operating pressure range (bar) Min. Max.
Bath shower mixer 0.2 8.0
Maximum operating pressure – 10.0 bar
NOTE:- Nominally equal (balanced) inlet supply pressures are recommended for optimum performance.
Designed to comply with BS EN 200 for single taps/ combination taps for water systems of type 1 and 2 general
technical specifications and to be used within systems designed to BS 6700.
BS 6700 recommends the temperature of stored water
should never exceed 65°C. A stored water temperature of
60°C is considered sufficient to meet all nominal requirements
and will minimise the build up of lime scale in hard
water areas.
4. Installation
This mixer is suitable for use at all supply pressures,
however for optimum performance use both hot and
cold water supplies which should be reasonably balanced.
Operating pressures: Min 0.2 bar, Max 8.0 bar
If the fitting is installed at low pressure (tank fed),
then the minimum distance from the underside of the
nozzle to the cold water tank should be at least 2 metres
to ensure adequate shower performance.
This mixer should be installed in compliance with
Water Regulations.
Where the supplies are balanced i. e. hot water from
the cylinder tank and cold from the mains, approved check
valves must be fitted in the supply pipes.
For further details please contact your local Water Authority.
