The Enware Aquablend® Thermostatic Mixers should be
installed using the appropriate Standard, Code of Practice
and legislation applicable to each state and following the
details outlined in this section.
They must be installed by a licensed plumber, or where
applicable, a licensed plumber who has undertaken
accredited training in Thermostatic Mixing Valves.
NOTE: To e󰀨ectively control microbial hazards during system
design, installation, commissioning and maintenance, the
requirements outlined in AS/NZS3666 and local legislation
shall be adhered to.
If the valve is not installed correctly then it will not function
correctly and may put the user in danger. It may also void
the warranty of the valve.
Prior to the installation of the valve, the system must be
checked to ensure that the system operating conditions
fall within the recommended operating range specied in
‘Technical Information - Installation Conditions’.
To ensure that the thermostatic mixer operates correctly,
it is necessary that the pipework is thoroughly ushed with
clean water before it is installed as per AS/NZS3500.1.
This will remove any physical contaminants from the
pipework, ensuring trouble-free operation. During the
ushing procedure care should be taken to prevent water
damage occurring to the surrounding area.
WARNING: Do not cut the electrical cable
of the sensor tap, or alter the product
in any way to suit installation. Damage
caused in this way will void warranty.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IN WALL
STEP 1 Determine the desired location for the box with
relation to the spout height o󰀨 the basin. AUSHFG
species the spout should be 1120mm o󰀨 nished
oor level.*
*Recommended height of spout (point of water discharge)
for Type A and Type B Clinical Hand Washing Bay is
1120mm o󰀨 nished oor level when combined with basin
at a height of 865mm, according to AUSHFG (Australasian
Health Facility Guidelines).
STEP 2 If installing within a frame wall, t mounting timber
in the desired location for box support. Enware
recommend 13mm ply wood xed between two
vertical in wall studs.
NOTE: plywood needs to cover the entire back
section of the box, so the valve body can be xed.
(See STEP 6)
IMPORTANT: The depth of box from nished
wall to the back of the box must be between
85-100mm
STEP 3 Mark out the xing point locations while ensuring
the box is level. The spirit level inside the box can
be seen through the top access hole.
SEE IMAGE 1
STEP 4 Secure the eSQX™ box to the ply wood support
using the external xing lugs and adequate xing
screws. SEE IMAGE 2
STEP 5 Remove front cover of the box by removing the 4
screws. Keep the front cover and 4 screws at hand.
STEP 6 Secure eSQX™ brass body to the mounting timber
using stainless steel screws supplied.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IN WALL
STEP 7 Purge hot and cold supply lines to make sure all
debris has been cleared. Connect water supply to
inlet ttings using 1/2” BSP loose-nut connectors.
SEE IMAGE 4
NOTE: Use loose-nut connectors (#62) or unions
for connections to inlets, to allow for easy removal
of the valve should there be any need to repair or
service the components later on.
STEP 8 Make sure integral inlet isolation valves are o󰀨. The
line of the slot should be horizontal across the inlet
valve. SEE IMAGE 5
STEP 9 Turn on the hot and cold water supplies and test the
supply pipeline connections for leaks.
Do not turn on the integral isolation valves.
STEP 10 NOTE: For 12V mains powered installations only.
Plug the transformer into a power outlet, and place
the end connector of the 12V transformer in the box
via the cable access hole.
SEE IMAGE 6
Ensure at least 50mm of cable is available in the
box to connect to the sensor. If the cable is not long
enough, use an extended transformer (ENMS230 -
available from Enware).
Use a conduit to run the transformer cable between
the power point and the box, to allow for easy
component replacement in future.
WARNING: Do not cut the electrical cable of the
sensor tap, or alter the product in any way to
suit installation. Damage caused in this way will
void warranty.
To avoid damage to the cable when trimming the
front cover (Step 1 - page 10), ensure the cable is
tucked away towards the back of the box.
STEP 11 Re-t the front /dust cover and secure with the 4
screws.

THERMAL DISINFECTION PROCEDURE
The internal components can be ushed with full hot water
temperature by adding a bypass to strainer / check valve
assembly ports, using the following procedure.
STEP 1 To access the internal components, rst remove the
spout, dress ange and the faceplate as per Steps
1 (A-D) in Annual Maintenance Procedure page 21.
Ensure the cartridge is turned to OFF position.
STEP 2 Turn o󰀨 the hot and cold water supplies via the
integral isolation valves located within each inlet
connector. SEE IMAGE 50
STEP 3 Using a 3/8” Allen key, unscrew the strainer / check
valve assembly from both sides and keep at hand.
SEE IMAGES 51 & 52
STEP 4 Screw on bypass adaptors to each port by hand
where the strainer / check valve assembly was,
until the adaptor tting bottoms out and the port is
sealed by its o-ring seal. SEE IMAGE 53
STEP 5 Now use a exible hose to connect the two bypass
adaptors, to create a bypass between hot and cold

THERMAL DISINFECTION PROCEDURE
STEP 6 To prepare the valve for hot water ush, it is necessary to make
the solenoid stay in the open position. To do this, rst activate
the sensor to open the solenoid. As soon as a click from solenoid
is heard and solenoid opens, disconnect the solenoid cable
from sensor at the connector. The solenoid will stay in the open
position until later when it is reconnected to the sensor.
SEE IMAGES 55 & 56
STEP 7 With the front plate o󰀨, temporarily install the spout back on so
the water can ow into the basin. SEE IMAGE 57
STEP 8 Open the integral isolation valve for the hot water supply, while
keeping cold side closed. (NOTE: hot water will not ow yet,
due to cartridge position being in OFF position.)
STEP 9 Prepare for hot water to ow out of outlet, taking precautions
to address the risk of scalding from the hot water owing out
of the outlet.
STEP 10 Pasteurisation or heat decontamination procedure can now
be carried out according to the methods stated in the relevant
standards and regulations.
To start ow of hot water, slowly turn the thermostatic mixer
cartridge to OPEN position using 3/8” Allen key. SEE IMAGE 58
WARNING: Full temperature hot water will ow out of outlet.
Maximum hot water temperature allowed for the valve is 70°C
for hot water ush, due to limitation of the solenoid valve and
spout aerator.
STEP 11 Once decontamination procedure has completed, turn the
thermostatic mixer cartridge to OFF position, and turn o󰀨 hot
water supply by closing the isolation valve.
STEP 12 Unscrew exible hose and bypass adaptors. Re-t Strainer /
Check Valve Assemblies to ports.
STEP 13 Connect sensor to solenoid.
STEP 14 Restore hot and cold water supplies by opening the integral
isolation valves.
STEP 15 Take spout o󰀨. Then t front plate and install spout back on.
STEP 16 Commission the valve and set the valve to required temperature,
according to the Commissioning Procedure on page 19.

www.enware.com.au Call 1300 369 273 19
SETTING OUTLET TEMPERATURE
STEP 1 Turn on the integral isolation valves using a 2.5mm
Allen key or at head screw driver (if not already
turned on).
SEE IMAGE 26
STEP 2 Insert the 3/8” Allen key into the mixer’s
temperature adjustment gear.
STEP 3 If the thermostatic mixer is closed, turn the tap
on by rotating the Allen key clockwise. Check the
temperature of the water with a hand held digital
thermometer. With the thermometer held within the
ow stream, rotate the Allen key until the desired
(maximum) temperature is achieved.
SEE IMAGE 27
STEP 4 Once this desired temperature is set, make sure it
stays steady for a minimum of 60 seconds. Remove
the Allen key without changing the temperature
gear position.
Due to the installed water supply conditions being
di󰀨erent from those applied in the laboratory test,
it is appropriate at commissioning to carry out
simple checks and tests on each mixer to provide
a performance reference point for future scheduled
servicing.
In all cases the following must be checked to ensure
correct operational performance of the eSQX valve:
• The intended installation matches the
performance brief of the eSQX™ point of use
thermostatic.
• The supply temperatures and pressures are
within the permitted range as specied
in the Technical table - Installation Conditions
on Page 6.
Upon completion of the installation, the valve
should be tested and commissioned as per the
procedure outlined in this guide or as specied by
the local authority. The entire procedure should be
read through thoroughly prior to commissioning the
valve. A calibrated digital thermometer, having rapid
response time with maximum temperature hold
will be required to check and set the outlet mixed
temperature of the valve.
To test the temperature, allow the mixed heated
water to ow for at least 60 seconds - this allows
for a stable temperature reading. For optimum
performance, a ow rate of at least 4 Lpm is
recommended.
NOTE: The solenoid valve is a latching solenoid - it remains in either open or closed position
if power supply is not connected. Factory setting is at open position.

CHECK STRAINERS AND NON-RETURN VALVES
Before completing the thermal shut down test, the combined non-return and strainer assemblies need to
be checked for cleanliness. (Refer to Servicing the Strainers and Check Valves section on page 19).
STEP 1 Using a 3/8” Allen key, unscrew the SQX™ check valve / strainer assembly and remove
from the mixer. (See IMAGE 28 on page 22.)
STEP 2 Inspect strainers and check valves for debris. Rinse in clean water if required.
STEP 3 Re-t SQX™ check valve / strainer assembly and hand tighten with the Allen key.
THERMAL SHUT DOWN TEST
Once the correct outlet temperature has been achieved, the valve’s internal mechanism should be
exercised by alternately shutting o󰀨 the hot and cold supplies while the tap is set at its operating
temperature.
TEST 1 While holding a digital thermometer in the outlet ow, quickly isolate the cold water supply
to the valve by closing the integral isolation valve on the cold inlet side. The outlet ow
should quickly cease owing. As a rule of thumb the ow should be less than 0.1Lpm
following the isolation. Restore the cold water supply to the valve. After the mixed water
temperature has stabilised, note the outlet temperature. Ensure the outlet temperature has
re-established.
TEST 2 Repeat the above test, except this time quickly isolate the hot water supply to the valve.
The outlet ow should quickly slow to a trickle. As a rule of thumb the trickle should
typically be less than 0.4Lpm@500kPa down to less than 0.1Lpm@100kPa following
the isolation. Restore the hot water supply to the valve, measure and record the
outlet temperature after the mixed water temperature has stabilised. Ensure the outlet
temperature has re-established.
Ensure that all details of the Commissioning Report are completed and signed by the relevant
signatories and a copy is kept with the installer and owner of the premises.
The valve is now commissioned and it can be used within the technical limits of
operation.
