Installation:
1. Determine the fixing position for the valve and make a recess in the wall to house
the valve. The depth of the recess should be 82mm to 105mm below the finished wall
surface to fit the cover plate correctly.
2. Insert the valve into the wall recess, then mark the fixing points with the mounting lugs
that are cast on the valve body. Pull the valve out and drill suitable length holes at the
marked positions. Use supplied plugs and screw to secure the valve.
3. Now that the shower valve body is securely mounted to the wall (prior to installation
and connecting) make sure that the pipes are thoroughly flushed to remove any debris
etc. (failure to do this will impair the flow of the water).
4. The Plumbing connections should then be made to the hot and cold inlets which are
clearly marked. The hot water inlet is to be connected with the hot supply on the left
of the valve and the cold water inlet is to be connected to the cold supply on the right
of the valve. Make sure that they are correctly connected, otherwise the thermostatic
cartridge will lose it’s function of controlling the temperature and may scald.
5. Make the plumbing connection to the water outlet. This will take the water to the
chosen shower kit you have selected to run with this shower.
6. The plumbing connections on the inlets are all 1/2” BSP female thread. It is
recommended to apply PTFE tape to all thread connections to ensure a water tight
seal.
7. Turn on the water supply to ensure that there are no leakages.
8. Slide the plate into position over the lock sleeve and fit this up against the wall surface.
9. Fit the control handles. Remove any decorative caps, then place the handle on the
valve, hold the handle firmly in position and tighten the grub screw with supplied Allen
key. Refit the decorative caps.
Operation Notice:
1. The work condition for use of this product is cold water 4-29°C, hot water
55-85°C and water pressure 0.5 bar - 5 bar. To avoid the dierential pressure
between hot water and cold water, the thermostatic cartridge is preferably under
the condition of water pressure 3 bar, hot water 65°C and cold water 15°C .
2. Make sure the shower valve is o when no water comes out of it (especially when
nobody resides in the house or during the period of decoration or the absence of
water).
3. When the room temperature drops below 0°C , take necessary measures (such
measures as keeping shower valve warm and closing windows) to prevent the
shower valve from being frozen or even broken (especially when windows kept
open for air ventilation while nobody resides in).
4. Do not disassemble the valve unless you are an expert.
Maintenance:
Clean the cartridge:
First shut o the water supply then loosen the grub screw and remove the handle.
Take o the cover plate & then the retaining nut. Taking note of the orientation of the
cartridge remove it. Wash the cartridge with clean running water, dry and lightly grease
the seal. Replace cartridge then refit retaining nut, cover and handle as above.
