Dual control built-in thermostatic mixer shower
Fitting the Coverplate
Fit the coverplate over the valve body and slide
tight to the wall.
Make sure the seals in the openings stay in place
as they slide over the valve body. A smear of liquid
soap on the seal will ease this procedure (g.15).
ANTI-SCALD PROTECTION
It is important that the mixer valve is tested
regularly to prevent the risk of scalding and
guarantee user safety. This can be carried out as
follows: with the mixer blend temperature set
at 38°C isolate the cold water supply. The outlet
ow rate will reduce to a safe level.
Recommended outlet temperatures
The BuildCert TMV scheme recommends the
following set maximum mixed water outlet
temperatures for use in all premises:
44°C - for bath ll but see notes below.
41°C - for showers.
41°C - for washbasins.
38°C - for bidets.
The mixed water temperatures must never
exceed 46°C at terminal tting.
The British Burns Association recommends 37°
to 37.5°C as a comfortable bathing temperature
for children. In premises covered by the Care
Standards Act 2000, the maximum mixed water
outlet temperature is 43°C.
COMMISSIONING
