Bar mixers
INSTANTANEOUS WATER HEATERS
APPLIANCE CAPABILITIES
In order to ensure the optimum performance from
the shower when connected to an instantaneous
water heater, the appliance must be capable of
raising the temperature of the incoming water to
a minimum of 52°C (125°F) and delivering a flow
rate of not less than eight litres per minute.
Flow limiters are supplied for controlling the
maximum flow of eight litres per minute.
For the
Exe and Aire units, a flow limiter is
inserted into the sprayhead (fig.6) while the
Nene and Tyne models have the flow limiters
inserted into the long thread inlet fittings as
follows:– Insert the filter, then the limiter and
secure with the threaded retainer (fig.7).
With the flow limiters fitted and when the system
is in use, the on/off flow control should be turned
fully anti-clockwise to full flow setting.
PREPARING THE MIXER VALVE
Check the contents to ensure all parts are present.
Before commencing the installation, make sure all
the apertures on the valve are carefully covered to
prevent ingress of any debris etc. while routing
the supply pipework.
The shower valve is suitable for installation on a
solid wall, a stud partition wall, dry lined wall or
fixing to a laminate cubicle or panel.
The hot and cold water pipes should be securely
attached within the wall or panel to support the
valve and prevent movement after installation.
The hot water inlet has a red symbol adjacent to
the inlet and must be on the left side.
SITING OF THE SHOWER
WARNING: THE SHOWER MUST NOT BE
POSITIONED WHERE IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO
FREEZING CONDITIONS.
Refer to fig.8 for correct siting of the shower.
Position the shower and sprayhead on the wall so
that all controls can be comfortably reached whilst
using the shower. The sprayhead can be
positioned either side of the shower.
The unit must be positioned horizontally with the
outlet port at the bottom.
