Thermostatic Valves
This mixer valve is suitable for any water system, provided minimum water pressure
is met. Where instantaneous heaters are used, the ow of hot water sucient to start
and go on burning must reach the minimum ow required – as specied by the heater
manufacturer.
These ttings are mixing devices and therefore water supplies must be reasonably
balanced.
Where connections are made to the mains cold water supply, WRC approved single
check valves must be tted to both hot and cold inlets. This is a stated requirement of
Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 Schedule 2, Section 6 G15.13.2
Before making any inlet pipe connections, all supply pipes MUST be thoroughly
ushed to remove debris. Failure to do so could result in damage or low ow from the
mixer unit. Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 Schedule 2 Section 4 G13.1
The tting of isolating valves to the inlet feeds is advised for ease of maintenance.
Please take great care when installing this mixer not to damage its surface.
Operating pressures (on hot and cold line) should be kept as balanced as possible in
order to assure optimum eciency.
Note: When pressure is higher than 5 bar a pressure reducer is required to be tted
before the valve.
Please note if installing in an enclosed environment, access should be left for servicing
and maintenance. No costs relating to inadequate access can be accepted.
This thermostatic valve is tted with a double ltering facility. Filters are tted on the
water inlets and on the thermostatic cartridge.
Depending on the water quality, lters may become dirty, causing reduced ow and
inecient working of the valve.
To clean the lters, you must rst remove the cartridge from the housing.
Removing the Cartridge
1. Shut o the water supply to both inlets at the isolating valves.
2. Remove the handle – pull it out.
3. Remove the small screw from the valve ring and pull o, taking care not to loose the
temperature stop button and spring. Pull o the stop ring.
4. Unscrew and remove the thermostatic cartridge.
5. Clean the lters by rinsing them in water to remove the dirt and soaking them in
vinegar or descaling agent.
6. Before reassembling the cartridge, clean its housing with a wet cloth and grease the
‘O’ rings on the cartridge, reassemble the cartridge.
7. Push on the stop ring with the notch at the 12 o’clock position, followed by the valve
ring with the temperature stop button at 6 o’clock and secure using the retaining
screw do not over tighten. Push on the control handle body and tighten the allen bolt,
screw on the handle.
8. Make sure everything is tight and secure and turn on the water supply at the
isolating valves.
9. Now check the water temperature to ensure you are happy with it.

Rinse pipeworks carefully for a long while before tting the valve: do not allow dirt,
metal particles or shavings to block the lters tted on inlets.
Warning! Please check for any hidden cables and pipes before drilling holes in the
wall.
The valve must be set into the wall between (27mm minimum – 55mm maximum)
If you are tting the valve to a partition wall or a wall of particularly soft substrate you
will need specialist xings.
Select the position for the shower valve and oer the shower valve to the wall, mark
the 2 xing points with a suitable pencil. Remove the shower valve from the wall, drill
the holes to a suitable depth for the wall plugs and secure with suitable screws.
During and after installation protect the outer parts by leaving the plastic sleeve on the
valve to avoid damage to plated surfaces.
Connect hot supply to left inlet of the valve and cold supply to right inlet.
Make all connections to the valve. The valve is supplied with an additional tapping at
its base – for jet or bathller spout.
Slide the cover plate over the valve. Push on the stop ring with the notch at the 12
o’clock position, followed by the valve ring with the button at 6 o’ clock and secure
using the retaining screw do not over tighten. Push on the control handle body taking
care that the handle is fully located over the brass end and engaging with the nylon
shaft (if necessary gently tap the handle onto the shaft using a rubber mallet or similar
in order to avoid damaging the handle nish and taking care to support the valve
body). Tighten the allen bolt, screw on the handle. Finally screw on the diverter button.
The valve has been factory set under balance pressures and hot water supply at 65° C.
When your specic operating conditions are signicantly dierent from the above, the
temperature of the water may vary from the setting.
When the dierence is too great, you can adjust the calibration of the valve to suit
individual requirements of the installation.
1. Select 38° C or the arrow on the handle and check the temperature of the water
being delivered to the showerhead with a thermometer:
2. If the temperature is unacceptable proceed to reset the calibration as follows:
Remove the handle, valve ring, stop ring and push the control arm to the up position.
Insert an hexagonal key into the temperature resetting screw and turn anti-clockwise
to increase the temperature and clockwise to decrease the temperature. Turning the
resetting screw 180° in either direction will increase or decrease the temperature by 2°
3. Replace the valve rings and handle, do not overtighten the screw.
