Dual control built-in thermostatic mixer shower
TYPICAL DOMESTIC INSTALLATIONS
Domestic Gravity Fed Systems (g.2)
The mixer shower MUST be fed from a cold
water cistern and hot water cylinder providing
nominally equal pressures. There must be a
minimum of one metre head of water. The
minimum head distance is measured from the
base of the cold water cistern to top of the
shower head.
If valves are gravity fed then supply pressure
should be veried to ensure conditions of use are
appropriate for the valve.
Instantaneous Gas-heated Systems,
e.g. combination boilers (g.3)
The mixer shower MUST be installed with a
multi-point gas water heater or combination
boiler of a fully modulating design i.e. to
maintain relatively stable hot water temperatures.
A drop tight pressure reducing valve MUST
be tted if the supply pressures exceed 5 bar
running.
An expansion vessel may be tted and regularly
maintained, to prevent the mixer shower
being damaged by excess pressures. This may
already be installed within the boiler (check with
manufacturer) and is in addition to the normally
larger central heating expansion vessel.
