OLYMPIA
Ultra Shower Mixer
VOP33
Congratulations on your purchase of this high quality product from Voda Plumbingware.
Please read the following before installation and retain (along with your receipt) for future reference.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Suitable for All Pressures
Minimum Pressure = 35kPa
Maximum operating Pressure = 500kPa* (As per NZ Building Code AS/NZ 3500.1)
Maximum operating Temperature = 65 deg. Celsius
For domestic use only.
CONFIGURATION
Equal Mains Pressure Prior to installation, remove the valve inserts from both inlets.
Unequal systems Install as supplied.
Important note: If the cold pressure dierence is greater than 10/1 ratio (i.e. 400kPa cold and 35kPa hot), we
recommend installing the needle valve (supplied) preferably directly to the cold water feed port on the shower
mixer or alternatively anywhere on the cold feedline pipe.
Equal Low systems Prior to installation, remove the valve inserts from both inlets.
INSTALLATION
Installation must comply with Section 5.4 of AS/NZS 3500 Standard with regard to Isolating stop cock use. Shower
mixers must be water tested with the outlet open, to prevent damage to cartridge seals; due to back pressure.
All pipe work must be flushed prior to the installation of this mixer. Accessible inline filters must be installed
in the pipework for both the hot and cold inlet supply to prevent particles from damaging the ceramic
cartridge. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
Back Flow Prevention: Where back flow prevention is required, install a Back Flow Prevention Valve at the supply
elbow hose connection of the handpiece.
Any water seepage ex- the cartridge cavity opening can be stopped by retightening the large brass retaining nut.

*For pressures exceeding 500kPa, install a pressure reducing valve. Failure to do so will void the
warranty.
If you have performance issues please check there are no flow restrictors between the hose and the handpiece, or
the hose and the shower elbow. Remove any restrictors with rubber washers.
Plumbers Note: Do not pressure test this mixer under static pressure.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Is the lever between 7 and 8 O’clock? When installed correctly the lever should be close to 7 O’clock position, at 38°C, delivering about 6L per minute,
where the relative hot/cold pressures are not greater than 10:1. We recommend installing the supplied Needle Valve if there is a greater than 10/1 ratio of
cold to hot kPa (The needle valve should be about an 1/8th turn open).
2. If the lever is beyond 8 O’clock position, it is likely:
– One of the valve inserts has been removed from the hot/cold ports;
– The supply elbow has a restrictive bore (i.e. less than 10mm);
– The supply hose has a bore size less than 9.5mm;
– The WELs restrictor hasn’t been removed.
– The Pressure reducing valve has not been readjusted (the feed valve on the LP Hot water cylinder should always be readjusted when installing a new
mixer, because the head pressure drops over time. To readjust the Feed Valve (Pressure reducing valve) – turn the adjuster screw clockwise until the first
drips appear from the relief pipe (protruding from the roof) or relief valve then back it o half-a-turn and re-secure the locking nut.
3. If the hot/cold mix is temperamental where the lever positon is within 7-8 O’clock position, either the hot or cold pressures will just require a slight tweak.
4. Check that the hot and cold supply lines have not been incorrectly plumbed in, i.e. such as the cold supply connected to the hot inlet and hot supply
connected to the cold inlet. This is especially bad for Unequal Low systems as the hot port on the shower mixer body can enlarge meaning that the valve
inserts will also need to be swapped.
5. When using with Unequal Low systems, it needs to be remembered the requirement for a minimum of 450mm of straight outlet pipe, before any bends.
