Technical Data
F
unctioning Principle
T
his Avensys mixing valve is a thermostatic
m
ixer with wax cartridge. Turning the shut-
o
ff handle in a counter-clockwise direction
o
pens the water flow. Turning the tem-
p
erature 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.
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
To maintain sufficient hot water output
ensure the combination boiler temperature
setting is on high.
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.

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
Rough Installation
T
he thermostatic shower mixing valve can
b
e installed in two different ways. The mixing
o
utlet can be at the bottom for use with a
h
andshower or at the top for use with a
h
eadshower.
T
he concealed thermostatic shower mixing
v
alve is supplied with a bracket.
xWith bracket mounted from the front the
valve can be used for installation into solid
and dry-lined walls.
xWith bracket mounted from behind the wall
the valve can be used for installation into
the front face of a stud partition wall
structure or the rear face of a shower
cubicle or laminated panel.

D
etermine the route for the incoming hot and
c
old water supply and for the outlet pipe-
w
ork in accordance with the thermostatic
s
hower mixing valve.
1
.Mark a 150mm diameter hole for the valve
and mark the fixing hole positions for the
bracket (A), see Fig. [1].
2.Drill 6mm diameter holes and insert the
supplied wallplugs (A1), see Fig. [2].
3.Remove the plaster and brick or block.
Laminated panel walls
Determine the route for the incoming hot an
d
cold water supply and for the outlet pipe-
work in accordance with the thermostatic
shower mixing valve.
1.Mark a 150mm diameter hole for the valv
e
and mark the fixing hole positions for the
bracket (A), see Fig. [3].

2
.Close free outlet with plug (C), see Fig. [5].
3
.Thread the outlet nipple (D) with the O-ring
seal into the valve body outlet.
4.Screw valve body (E) to bracket (A) with

5.If there is a pressure differences between
the hot and cold water supply install
attached flow limiters (F) or spacers (F1)
in the hot andcold water connection inlets
,
see table below.
For reversed supplies installation the
complete mixing valve must be rotated 180q
.
Therefore stop ring must be dismounted,
rotated 180qand reinstalled with catch on
top.

Wallplate Installation
1
.Remove the two screws (B1) from the
fitting template (B), then remove the
template, see Fig. [11].
2
.Push on cover ring (J) with mark (J1)
on top, see Fig. [12].

Additionally seal the top edge of the
wallplate support with silicone if it is fitted
against a particularly rough surface (deep
tile joints, highly textured tile).
5.Tighten wallplate support (L) with two of
the four screws [(B1) = template screws
or (L1)] into the valve body. These screw
s
allow for variation in wall thickness when
mounting the wallplate.
Check correct position of the seal in the
wallplate.
6.Snap wallplate (M) into the wallplate
support (L).
To ensure that the wallplate is correctly
seated, lug (M1) must engage in the
recess (L2) on the wallplate support.
7.Push on adapter (N), see Fig. [13].

f
actory set to 43 qC. A temperature adjust-
m
ent is necessary if:
xThe maximum water temperature
measured at the outlet varies from
the factory set temperature.
xAfter any maintenance operation on the
thermostatic cartridge.
F
or temperature adjustment please
p
roceed as follows:
1
.Turn the shut-off handle counter-clockwise
to fully open position and open water flow.
