Technical Data
F
unctioning Principle
T
his Avensys mixing valve is a thermostatic
m
ixer with wax cartridge. Turning the shut-
o
ff lever in a counter-clockwise direction
o
pens the water flow. Turning the tem-
p
erature cross handle in a counter-clockwise
d
irection sets the temperature from cold to
h
ot.
T
his product is supplied with connectors to fit
ø
15mm pipework. Connection should be hot
l
eft, cold right as viewed from the operating
p
osition. The product is preassembled.
P
lumbing Systems
T
his thermostatic mixing valve is suitable for
i
nstallation with:
xGravity-fed plumbing systems with an
open vented hot water cylinder
xCold water storage cistern
xMains pressure unvented and instantan-
eous thermal hot water storage systems
xMulti-point gas water heaters
xCombination boilers with a modulating hot
water output
S
upply Pipework
E
nsure the supply pipework is thoroughly
f
lushed before installing the mixing valve.
G
ROHE recommends installing isolating
v
alves upstream of the mixing valve for
s
ervicing purposes.
N
ew Water Regulations
T
his GROHE-product should be installed to
c
omply with the New Water Regulations
c
overing backflow prevention. It must also
b
e installed in accordance with local bye-law
r
equirements.

Installation
Exposed Installation
T
his thermostatic shower mixing valve is to
b
e installed with the outlet at the top for use
w
ith the headshower.
I
f there is a pressure differences between
t
he hot and cold water supply install
a
ttached flow limiters in the water
c
onnection elbows, see table below.
xScrew out connection elbows (A), see
Fig. [1].
xInstall flow limiters (B) in accordance to
table above with threaded rings (C) by
using a 12mm socket spanner.
T
he thermostatic mixing valve is fixed to the
w
all via the backplate and connected to the
s
upply pipes by a pair of elbows. The elbows
a
re preassembled to the valve body. The
v
alve body is fixed to the backplate by a set
s
crew.
In case of exposed installation with supply
pipes from above or below rotate inlet
elbows 90qand connect to 15mm supply
pipes.
1.Loosely screw on nuts (A1) with com-
pression rings (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 valve body (E) with the elbows
and backplate (D) to the supply pipes.
4.Loosen set screw (D1), see Fig. [3].
5.Remove valve body (E) from supply pipe
s
and hold backplate (D) in position.

Care
Trouble Shooting
W
e want to ensure that you get long-lasting
s
atisfaction and pleasure from your GROHE
f
itting. Therefore, please read the following
c
are instructions because damage to the
s
urface and underlying material resulting
f
rom improper treatment is not covered by
o
ur guarantee.
D
o not use any abrasive sponges or scou-
r
ing agents for cleaning. We also advise not
t
o use cleaning agents containing solvent or
a
cid, limescale removers, household vinegar
a
nd cleaning agents with acetic acid. They
a
re aggressive to the surface and will leave
your fitting dull and scratched. As the for-
mulations of commercially available cleanin
g
agents frequently change, we cannot gua-
rantee they will provide the gentle care our
fitting deserves.
Clean the fitting with a little soap and a mois
t
cloth only, then simply rinse off and wipe dry
.
You can avoid lime spots by drying the fittin
g
each time it is used. If lime deposits do oc-
cur, remove them with Grohclean (ref. no.
18 078), our environment-friendly cleaning
liquid. Grohclean is specially formulated to
gently clean the surface of our fittings.
