Maintenance (see page 8)
• To guarantee the smooth running of the
thermostat, it is necessary from time to
time to turn the thermostat from total hot
to total cold.
• The mixer is equipped with non return
valves.
The non return valves must be checked
regularly according to DIN EN 1717 in
accordance with national or regional
regulations (at least once a year).
At this time, please also check the filter
(A) situated on the BTC-thermoelement
(96633000). After assembling the BTC-
thermoelement, it is necessary to check
the water temperature at the take off
point as described under the headline
„adjustment“. Before the adjustment,
please check, if the warm water supply is
activated and the maximum temperature
of the warm water is available at the take
off point.
Adjustment (see page 7)
After the installation, the output tempera-
ture of the thermostat must be checked. A
correction is necessary if the temperature
measured at the output differs from the
temperature set on the thermostat.
Do not use silicone containing acetic acid!

Recommended operating pressure: 1 - 5 bar
Test pressure: 16 bar
Hot water temperature: max. 80°C
Recommended hot water temp.: 65°C
Rate of flow: 36 l/min. @ 3 bar
Maximum outlet temperature: 43°C +/-*
Safety check: 40°C
Hot water connection: Left hand
Cold water connection: Right hand
Minimum difference between hot
water and mixed water temperature: 6 K
Hot and cold supply pressure should be balanced
Mixed water temperature
Application Mixed water temperature
(at point of discharge).
Shower 41°C max.
Washbasin 41°C max.
Bath (44°C fill) 44°C max.
Bath (46°C fill) 46°C max.
* For preset outlet temperature adjustment – See page 62.
NB. If a water supply is fed by gravity then the supply
pressure should be verified to ensure the conditions of use
are appropriate for the valve. Valves operating outside of
these supply conditions cannot be guaranteed to operate
as a TMV2 or TMV3 valve.
Recommended outlet temperatures
The BuildCert TMV scheme recommends the following
set maximum mixed water outlet temperatures for use in
all premises:
44°C for bath fill but see notes below;
41°C for showers;
41°C for washbasins.
The mixed water temperatures must never exceed 46°C.
The maximum mixed water temperature can be 2°C above
the recommended maximum set outlet temperatures.
Note: 46°C is the maximum mixed water temperature
from the bath tap. The maximum temperature takes account
of the allowable temperature tolerances inherent in thermo-
static mixing valves and temperature losses in metal baths.
It is not a safe bathing temperature for adults or children.
The British Burns Association recommends 37 to 37.5°C
as a comfortable bathing temperature for children. In
premises covered by the Care Standards Act 2000, the
maximum mixed water outlet temperature is 43°C
Installation Requirements
This thermostatic mixer valve must be installed in comp-
liance with current Water Regulations. If you have any
doubts about the Water Regulation requirements contact
your local water services provider or use the services of
a professional plumber.
This mixer valve is suitable for use with the following water
supply systems:
Gas Combination Boiler (multi-point) 1.0 - 10 bar*
Unvented System (pressure balanced) 1.0 - 10 bar
Pumped System 1.0 - 10 bar
IMPORTANT: If you install this mixer with a gravity fed
system, there must be a minimum head (vertical distance)
from the underside of tlie cold water storage tank to the
showerhead position of at least 5 metre.
Before connecting the mixer, water should be flushed
through the system to remove all debris that might otherwise
damage the valve.
* If pressure is in excess of 3.5 bar, a pressure-reducing
valve should be fitted.

Shower 43°C
Washbasin 43°C
Bath (44°C fill) 46°C
Bath (46°C fill) 48°C
The mixed water temperature at terminal fitting should
never exceed 46ºC.
If there is a residual flow during the commissioning or
the annual verification (cold water supply isolation test),
then this is acceptable providing the temperature of the
water seeping from the valve is no more than 2°C above
the designated maximum mixed water outlet temperature
setting of the valve.
Temperature readings should be taken at the normal flow
rate after allowing for the system to stabilise.
The sensing part of the thermometer probe must be fully
submerged in the water that is to be tested.
Any TMV that has been adjusted or serviced must be
re-commissioned and re-tested in accordance with the
manufacturers' instructions.
Commissioning and in-service
tests
Commissioning
Purpose
Since the installed supply conditions are likely to be diffe-
rent from those applied in the laboratory tests it is appro-
priate, at commissioning, to carry out some simple checks
and tests on each mixing valve to provide a performance
reference point for future in-service tests.
Procedure
1. Check that:
a) the designation of the thermostatic mixing valve
matches the intended application
b) the supply pressures are within the range of ope-
rating pressures for the designation of the valve
c) the supply temperatures are within the range per-
mitted for the valve and by guidance information
on the prevention of legionella etc.
2. Adjust the temperature of the mixed water in accor-
dance with the manufacturer’s instructions (page 62)
and the requirement of the application and then carry
out the following sequence:
a) record the temperature of the hot and cold water
supplies
b) record the temperature of the mixed water at the
largest draw-off flow rate
c) record the temperature of the mixed water at a
smaller draw-off flow rate, which shall be measu-
red
d) isolate the cold water supply to the mixing valve
and monitor the mixed water temperature
e) record the maximum temperature achieved as a
result of (d) and the final stabilised temperature
NOTE: The final stabilised mixed water temperature
should not exceed the values in Table A.
f) record the equipment, thermometer etc. used for
the measurements

18
In-service tests
Purpose
The purpose of in-service tests is to regularly monitor and
record the performance of the thermostatic mixing valve.
Deterioration in performance can indicate the need for
service work on the valve and/ or the water supplies.
Procedure
1. Carry out the procedure 2. (a) to (e) on page 72
using the same measuring equipment, or equipment
to the same specifications.
2. If the mixed water temperature has changed signi-
ficantly from the previous test results (e.g. > 1 K),
record the change and before re-adjusting the mixed
water temperature check:
a) that any in-line or integral strainers are clean
b) any in-line or integral check valves or other
anti-backsiphonage devices are in good working
order
c) any isolating valves are fully open
3. With an acceptable mixed water temperature, com-
plete the procedure 2. (a) to (e) on page 72.
4. If at step 2. (e) on page 72 the final mixed water tem-
perature is greater than the values in Table A and / or
the maximum temperature exceeds the corresponding
value from the previous test results by more than about
2 K, the need for service work is indicated.
NOTE: In-service tests should be carried out with a
frequency which identifies a need for service work
before an unsafe water temperature can result. In
the absence of any other instruction or guidance, the
procedure described in „Frequency of in-service tests“
may be used.
Frequency of in-service tests
TMV3*
General
In the absence of any other instruction or guidance on
the means of determining the appropriate frequency of
in-service testing, the following procedure may be used:
1. 6 to 8 weeks after commissioning carry out the tests
given in 2. on page 72.
2. 12 to 15 weeks after commissioning carry out the tests
given in 2. on page 72.
3. Depending on the results of 1. and 4. several possi-
bilities exist:
a) If no significant changes (e.g. < 1 K) in mixed
water temperatures are recorded between com-
missioning and 1., or between commissioning and
4. the next in-service test can be deferred to 24
to 28 weeks after commissioning.
b) If small changes (e.g. 1 to 2 K) in mixed water
temperatures are recorded in only one of these pe-
riods, necessitating adjustment of the mixed water
temperature, then the next in-service test can be
deferred to 24 to 28 weeks after commissioning.
c) If small changes (e.g. 1 to 2 K) in mixed water
temperatures are recorded in both of these peri-
ods, necessitating adjustment of the mixed water
temperature, then the next in-service test should be
carried out at 18 to 21 weeks after commissioning.
d) If significant changes (e.g. > 2 K) in mixed water
temperatures are recorded in either of these
periods, necessitating service work, then the next
in-service test should be carried out at 18 to 21
weeks after commissioning.
4. The general principle to be observed after the first 2 or
3 in-service tests is that the intervals of future tests should
be set to those which previous tests have shown can be
achieved with no more than a small change in mixed
water temperature.
*TMV2: The frequency of performing the in-
service tests is 1 year maximum.

19
Thermostatic Adjustment
Temperature Limitation
The temperature is limited by the safety stop to 40°C. If
a higher temperature is required, it is possible to over ride
the safety stop by depressing the safety button.
NB. It is recommended that for private domestic
use the maximum mixed water temperature be set at the
following factory set values:
Shower Mixer 43°C
Bath/Shower 43°C
Temperatures can be set by following the procedures on
page 62. This ensures that after correct installation the
outlet temperature of the water can never exceed 43°C.
To guarantee a smooth running of the thermostatic element,
it is necessary from time to time to turn the thermostat from
total hot to total cold. The thermostatic mixer valve should
be checked annually by a qualified person to ensure
correct operation.
The mixer is fitted with check valves (page 67 pos.
94074000) and filters (page 67 pos 94282000). If the
water flow drops the filters need to be cleaned. For that
purpose please follow the steps 1 - 11 on page 64.
Calibrating Thermostat
If the temperature reading is different to the showering
temperature, follow the steps 1 - 3 on page 62.
