Bar mixers
1
INTRODUCTION
This book contains all the necessary fitting and
operating instructions for either your Triton
Aire, Nene or Tyne bar mixer thermostatic
shower or Exe pressure compensating bar
mixer shower. Please read the instructions
carefully. Read through the whole of this book
before beginning your installation.
NOTE: If you have purchased the Exe shower
please be aware that it is not thermostatic and
will not prevent water from flowing from the
sprayhead should there be a loss of one supply
to the mixer.
The shower installation must be carried out by a
suitably competent person and in sequence of
this instruction book.
Care taken during the installation will ensure a
long and trouble free life from your shower.
For optimum performance within the specified
running pressure range a minimum flow of
eight litres per minute should be available to
both inlets.
The mixer shower MUST NOT be subjected to
water temperatures above 80°C.
The mixers are designed for use with traditional
low pressure ‘gravity’ water systems, using a
cold water cistern and hot water cylinder (the
Exe model must use a pump if installed in a
gravity fed system).
All the models are suitable for the higher
pressure systems found in the U.K. up to a
maximum of 5 bar running pressure.
Important: When installing this mixer with
a combination boiler or multi-point, the
supplied flow restricter must be installed in
the unit.
The mixers are suitable for fully modulating
type combination boilers and multi-point hot
water heaters. Also suitable for thermal storage,
unvented systems and pumped gravity systems.
Important: Before installing with a gas
instantaneous water heater, ensure it is
capable of delivering hot water at a
minimum switch-on flow rate of 3 litres per
minute. At flow rates between 3 and 8 litres
per minute, the appliance must be capable of
raising the water temperature to a minimum
of 52°C. Water temperature at the inlet to
the mixer must remain relatively constant
when flowrate adjustments are made (refer to
the water heater operating manual to confirm
compatibility with this mixer shower).
These mixers are supplied with an integral
single check valve and integral filter in each
inlet. Inlet connections are to 15mm
compression or 1/2” BSP female fittings (not
supplied).
SAFETY WARNINGS
a Layout and sizing of pipework must be such
that when other services are used, pressures
at the shower control inlets do not fall
below the recommended minimum.
b DO NOT choose a position where the
shower could become frozen.
c DO NOT connect this mixer shower to any
form of tap or fitting not recommended by
the manufacturer.
d The sprayhead must be regularly cleaned to
remove scale and debris.
e Conveniently situated service valves in each
inlet supply must be fitted as an
independent method of isolating the
shower should maintenance or servicing be
necessary.
f If it is intended to operate the shower in
areas of hard water (above 200 ppm
temporary hardness), a scale inhibitor may
have to be fitted. For advice on the Triton
scale inhibitor, please contact Customer
Service.
g DO NOT operate the shower outside the
guidelines as laid out in ‘site requirements’.
Replacement parts can be ordered from Triton
Customer Service. See ‘spare parts’ for details
and part numbers.
Due to continuous improvement and updating,
specification may be altered without prior notice.
