Commercial Health Care
This product has been tested to the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) and satises
the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and current bylaws.
For full Installation Requirements & Notes (IRN) please visit www.wras.co.uk/directory.
BS7600 recommends the temperature of stored water should never exceed 65ºC.A stored
water temperature of 60ºC is considered sufcient to meet all normal
requirements and will minimise the build up of lime scale in hard water areas.
If the shower valve is installed at low pressure (tank fed), then the minimum distance from the
highest installed position of the showerhead to the underside of the cold tank should be at
least 1 metre to ensure adequate performance.
Note: Nominally equal (balanced) inlet supply pressures are recommended for optimum
performance.
This shower valve should be installed in compliance with the Water Supply (Water
Fittings) Regulations1999 and the Scottish Bylaws 2004.

Specications
Inlet connections: 15mm compression with 150mm between centres.
Minimum working pressure: 0.2 bar

Minimum cold water supply temperature: 5ºC.
Maximum cold water supply temperature: 25ºC.
Maximum hot water supply temperature: 80ºC.
Note: The inlet hot water temperature must be at least 10ºC above the required blend
temperature (e.g. shower temperature 43ºC: minimum hot water temperature 53ºC).
System requirements:
Gravity fed hot & cold (Equal pressures)
Gravity fed hot & mains cold (Differential pressure, maximum ration 5:1)
Unvented systems

Flow Regulators
This shower valve is supplied with a 5 and 7
litre per minute ow regulator loose in the
box which must be tted if the shower valve
is installed in conjunction with an instantane-
ous water heater /
combination boiler.
With both ow regulators tted and by
turning the water heater / combination boiler
to its hottest setting, will ensure a sufciently
hot water supply to the shower valve during
winter months (in the UK), when the mains
cold water supply is at its coldest.
To t the ow regulators
Remove the inlet elbows ensuring the lter
washer is also removed. carefully remove the
plastic inserts from the valve inlets and push
in the ow regulators. The 7 litre per minute
ow regulator must be tted to the cold
inlet and the 5 litre per minute ow regulator
must be tted to the hot inlet.
Place the lter washers back into the elbow
nuts and tighten the nuts fully onto the
outlets.
In the event that this shower valve is not
installed with an instantaneous water heater /
combination boiler, the ow
regulators do not need to be tted.

Installation - Shower Valve
This shower valve is designed for new
installations where there is no shower valve
already installed. Once the shower valve is
secured in the wall cavity the wall should be
nished and tiled. Access is required from the
rear for future servicing of the shower valve
lters. The cartridge can be accessed from the
front.
Before Installation
Flush through the pipework to ensure
removal of any debris.Turn off the mains
water supply and close any isolating valves.
1. Install shower valve
Install suitable battons (if required) onto the
rear cavity wall. Place the shower valve in the
required position and mark the xing holes.
Drill suitable holes and insert the wall plugs
(if necessary). Securely attach the shower
valve to the wall / battons using the screws
supplied.
2.Connect water supply pipes
Insert 15mm hot and cold water supply pipes
into the inlet connections and
tighten nuts, ensuring the olives are tted.
3. Plumb in outlets
Insert 15mm pipework into the top outlet
and plumb into the users chosen
products. Ensure the olives are tted when
tightening the nuts.

4. Finish wall surface
Plasterboard and tile the cavity wall
ensuring there is a gap between the tiles and
the shower valve
5. Fit concealing plate and handles
Run a bead of waterproof silicon sealant
around the inner edge of the concealing plate.
Slide the concealing plate onto the shower
valve and apply rm pressure to ensure to
silicon sealant spreads.
6. Fit handles
Push the spline adaptors onto the valve
spindles.
Push the handles onto the spline adaptors and
secure by tightening the grub screw and push-
t the cap into position.
7. Create rear access
Rear access to the shower valve is
required to enable the shower to be
maintained and serviced. Cut out the rear
plasterboard in the back of the wall cavity to
create accress.A piece of plasterboard or a
panel maybe used to cover the access hole
but must be removable.

Installation - Wall Outlet
Fitting the Wall Outlet
There are two methods of xing the wall
outlet depending on the type of wall:
a: With rear access once wall nished
Fit the rubber washer to the back of the wall
outlet, place the assembly through a
25-30mm hole in the wall and secure with the
backnut ensuring the washer is tted between
the backnut and the wall.
Connect the wall outlet assembly to the
shower valve outlet.
b: Without rear access once wall
nished
Fit a ‘1/2” female connection’ (not
supplied) within the wall cavity and plumb in
from the shower valve. Screw the wall outlet
into the ‘1/2” female connection’
using a suitable thread sealant ensuring the
rubber seal is tted to the back of the wall
outlet.
Note: The backnut and washer are not
required.

Maintenance
General Cleaning
Your fitting has a high quality finish and should
be treated with care to preserve the visible
surfaces.All surfaces will wear if not cleaned
correctly, the only safe way to clean your
product is to wipe with a soft damp cloth.
Stains can be removed using washing up liquid.
All bath cleaning
powders and liquids will damage the
surface of your fitting, even the
non-scratch cleaners.
Note: Never use abrasive detergents or
disinfectants or those containing alcohol,
hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid.
Cartridge Maintenance
We advise that the shower valve is
regularly serviced in hard water areas to
maintain the flow of water.
Isolate both hot and cold water supplies to
the shower valve by either:
• Turning the water supply off at the
mains stopcock or
• Turning off the isolation valves to the
shower valve.
1. Remove the temperature handle and plastic
stop.
Important:Take note of the position of
the plastic stop and handle - They must be
refitted in the same position.
2. Unscrew the cartridge anti-clockwise and
remove from the valve body.
3. Remove the piston and thermostat
assembly and place into a bowl.
Carefully add hot water (just off the boil) and
vinegar to de-scale. Leave in the
solution until the water has cooled and rinse
with clean water.
4. Grease the seals with a silicon grease
supplied by Bristan (part number:
SP-495-0002) and carefully refit.
5. Refit the temperature stop and handle.
Reset the maximum temperature.

Adjusting the Temperature
Adjusting the Temperature
The shower valve has been factory set to
42ºC with equal (balanced) hot and cold
water supply pressures, with the hot water
supply at 65ºC.
If your operating conditions are
different from those above, the outlet water
temperature may differ from the factory
setting.
If required the shower valve can be
re-calibrated to suit your own temperature
requirements.
Set the temperature control to the
maximum setting and check the
temperature of the water with a
thermometer. If the temperature is not
correct, re-calibrate the shower valve:
1. Remove the temperature handle but do not
remove the plastic temperature stop.
2.Turn the spline clockwise to decrease the
temperature and anti-clockwise to increase
the temperature. Check the
temperature and adjust until you achieve the
required temperature.
3. Replace the temperature handle
ensuring it is fitted back into the
maximum position.

off elsewhere causing pressure
changes or instantaneous boiler
temperature changes.
Do not use other water outlets
when using the shower.
Make sure the maintained inlet
pressures are nominally balanced
and sufcient.
Refer to Specication (page 6).
Airlock or partial blockage of the
pipework.
Flush through pipework to ensure
removal of debris and any airlocks.
No hot or cold water reaching
the shower valve.
Check hot and cold feeds (the valve
will shut down if either the hot or
cold supply fails).
Only hot or cold
water from the
shower valve
outlet.
Partially closed stop or service
valve in water supply pipework to
the shower valve.
Open stop or service valve.
Inlet lter is partially blocked. Clean or replace, ush through
pipework before retting.
Inlet water supplies are reversed
(hot to cold supply).

correct way round. Hot on the left
and cold on the right when viewed
from the front. Rework pipework as
necessary.
