Technical Data
Functioning Principle
This Avensys mixing valve is a single lever
mixer with ceramic cartridge. Lifting the lever
opens water flow. Turning to the left in-
creases temperature and to the right de-
creases temperature. Shutting off the single
lever mixer is possible in any temperature
position.
Hot water limitation is possible by installing
the attached temperature limiter.
This product is supplied with connectors to fit
ø15mm pipework. Connection should be hot
left, cold right as viewed from the operating
position. The product is preassembled.
Plumbing Systems
This single lever mixer is suitable for
installation with:
•Gravity-fed plumbing systems with an
open vented hot water cylinder
•Cold water storage cistern
•Mains pressure unvented and instantan-
eous thermal hot water storage systems
•Multi-point gas water heaters
•Combination boilers with a modulating hot
water output
To maintain sufficient hot water output
ensure the combination boiler temperature
setting is on high.
Supply Pipework
Ensure the supply pipework is thoroughly
flushed before installing the mixing valve.
GROHE recommends installing isolating
valves upstream of the mixing valve for
servicing purposes.
New Water Regulations
This GROHE-product should be installed to
comply with the New Water Regulations
covering backflow prevention. It must also
be installed in accordance with local bye-law
requirements.

Installation
Exposed Installation
The single lever shower mixer can be in-
stalled in two different ways. The mixing
outlet can be at the bottom for use with a
handshower or at the top for use with a
headshower.
If the pressure difference between hot and
cold water supply is higher than 1 bar install
attached green flow limiter (7 l/min) in the
cold water connection elbow, see Fig. [1].
•Screw out connection elbow (A).
•Install green flow limiter (B) with threaded
ring (C) by using a 12mm socket spanner.
The Single Lever Mixer is fixed to the wall
via the backplate and connected to the
supply pipes by a pair of elbows. The elbows
are preassembled to the valve body. The
mixer body is fixed to the backplate by a set
screw.
In case of exposed installation with supply
pipes from above or below rotate inlet
elbows 90°and connect to 15mm supply
pipes.
1.Loosely screw on nut (A1) with com-
pression ring (A2), see Fig. [2].
2.Ensure that the projections of the supply
pipes, (i.e. exposed beyond the wall sur-
face) have the correct length (13 - 18mm)
and distance (150mm).
3.Place the mixer body (E) with the elbows
and backplate (D) to the supply pipes.
4.Loosen set screw (D1), see Fig. [3].
5.Remove mixer body (E) from supply pipes
and hold backplate (D) in position.

Installation
6.Mark the holes in the backplate for wall-
plugs, see Fig. [4].
7.Drill the holes (6mm) for the wallplugs (F)
and fit them into the wall, see Fig. [5].
8.Fix the backplate (D) with set screw (D1)
on top or bottom to the wall with
screws (G), see Fig. [6].
9.Slide the escutcheons (H) over the
supply pipes, see Fig. [7].
10.If flow limiter is mounted in the cold
water connection elbow install filter (J).
11. Slide the mixer body (E) with elbows and
compression nuts loosely over the
supply pipes.
The body must touch the backplate. If
not, check pipes for length again.
12.Fix the mixer body (E) to the back-
plate (D) by tightening set screw (D1).
Do not use excessive force to tighten
the set screw (D1).
13.Tighten the compression nuts (torque
min. 20 Nm), see Fig. [8].

2.Thread the outlet nipple (L) with the O-ring
seal into the mixer body outlet.
3.Insert pipe and tighten outlet nipple (L).
Please refer to chapter "Maximum Hot
Water Limit Setting" on page 10 for limiting
maximum outlet temperature.
Open hot and cold water supply.

Installation
Maximum Hot Water Limit Setting
On delivery, the adjustable temperature
limiter (fitted as standard) is inoperative.
On applications requiring limiting the mixer
opening from full hot position, the adjustable
temperature limiter must be reset as de-
scribed below.
1.Lever out plug (O), see Fig. [11].
2.Remove set screw (P) with 3mm socket
spanner.
3.Pull off lever (R).
4.Unscrew cap (S).
5.Remove temperature limiter (M) and,
depending on the maximum water
temperature required, turn clockwise
(to increase temperature) or anticlock-
wise (to reduce temperature) and refit,
see Figs. [11] and [12].
6.Reinstall lever as described in Fig. [11] in
reversed direction.
Note:
A maximum temperature setting accurate to
the degree is not possible since differences
in hot and cold water flow temperatures,
pressure differences and installation con-
ditions all affect the temperature of mixed
water delivered at the outlet.
