mini exposed sequential thermostatic mixer shower

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
ttings for the installation.
DO NOT solder ttings near the mixer shower
as heat can transfer along the pipework and
damage the shower.
DO NOT subject the shower to a water
temperature above 80°C during installation, use,
maintenance or disinfection.
IMPORTANT:
• The layout and sizing of pipework MUST
be such that nominally equal inlet supply
pressures are achieved and the effects of
other draw-offs are minimised.
• The pipework should be installed such
that other taps and appliances being
operated elsewhere on the premises do not
signicantly affect the ow.
• When connecting pipework avoid using tight
90° elbows; swept or formed bends will give
the best performance.
• The hot water pipe entry MUST be made to
the left-hand side inlet, marked HOT, ‘H’ or
with a red/orange label.
• Suitable isolating valves (complying with
Water Regulations and Bylaws) MUST be
tted on the hot and cold water supplies
to the mixer shower as an independent
means of isolating the water supplies should
maintenance or servicing be necessary;
position as close as is practicable to the water
supply inlets of the mixer shower. If this
isolator is tted in a loft space, the loft must
have a xed access ladder and be boarded,
with appropriate lighting from the access
point to the isolator.
• It is preferable to ush the pipework to clear
the system of debris and check for leaks
before connecting to the mixer shower.
• The mixer shower inlets contain removable
lters that may become blocked if debris is
not ushed through before tting.
Commercial Applications
• Triton recommends for all commercial
applications that, easily accessible, in-line
lters are used to aid maintenance.
Hard Water Areas
a. If it is intended to operate the mixer shower
in areas of hard water (above 200-ppm
temporary hardness), a scale inhibitor may
have to be tted. For advice on the scale
inhibitor, please contact Triton’s Customer
Experience team.
b. For best performance the shower head MUST
be regularly cleaned to remove scale and debris.
WATER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
This mixer shower is suitable for:
• Gravity water systems
• Pumped gravity systems
• Fully modulating type combination boilers
• Multi-point hot water heaters
• Thermal storage
• Unvented systems
When installing this mixer shower with a
combination or multi-point boiler, it may be
necessary to install ow regulation.
Check that the appliance is capable of delivering
hot water at a minimum switch-on ow rate
of 3 litres per minute. At ow rates between 3
and 8 litres per minute, the appliance MUST be
capable of raising the water temperature to 52°C
minimum.
Water temperature at the inlet of the mixer
shower MUST remain relatively constant
when ow rate adjustments are made - refer
to the appliance operating manual to conrm
compatibility with this mixer shower.
Where thermal store systems and instantaneous
gas water heaters are used, if excessive draw-off
takes place the appliance may not be able to
maintain an adequate output temperature.
This could result in the water temperature
becoming noticeably cooler.
Flow regulators can be tted with high-pressure
water systems to reduce ow rate and assist
economy.
The hot supply temperature MUST remain a
minimum of 10°C hotter than the required blend
temperature for optimum performance.
