Maintenance
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.
Shut o the water supply to both inlets at the isolating valves.
Inlet Filters.
Undo both locking nuts at the back of the valve and remove. Remove the lter, rinse in
water to remove the dirt, and then soak them in vinegar or descaling agent.

Operating Specications
Temperature setting
Hot Water Supply Temperature:
Maximum: 85° C
Minimum: 10° C higher than the maximum required mixed temperature (advise 65° C)

Maximum operating pressure 5 bar

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 on the handle and check the temperature of the water being delivered
to the outlet with a thermometer.
2. If the temperature is unacceptable proceed to reset the calibration as follows:
Remove the handle by pulling out the screw cover, remove the screw from inside and
pull o the handle (do not remove the stop ring). Turn the spline of the valve clockwise
to decrease the temperature and anti-clockwise to increase the temperature until 38°
is achieved.
3. Ensure that the stop on the stop ring is pointing at 12 o’clock, replace handle with
the temperature override button pointing at 12 o’clock being careful not to turn the
splines of the valve.
The valve setting is now calibrated to suit your requirements.
4. Replace the handle.

Before installing your new mixer, ush through the pipework to ensure removal of
debris, turn o the water supply.
Prepare the wall with 2 ush ½”connectors at 150mm centres. Connect the water
supply to the inlet pipes. The hot water should be connected to the left hand pipe.
Screw on the 2 oset connectors followed by the covers.
Screw the locking nuts on the valve onto the connectors, some adjustment can be
made to the oset connectors to align the centres and level up the valve.
Note: If you are installing this item using our xing brackets (product code:
WG-049BRACK+SHR-C/P) please ensure a ¾ bre washer is used in addition to the
mesh lter washers in the valve inlets in order to create a watertight seal.
Also due to the location of the NRVs (Non Return Valves) in the oset connector, when
using the WG-049 Bracket and Shroud an additional NRV must be tted in line to each
of the hot and cold supplies.
