Bar mixers
INSTALLATION
NOTE: The outlet of the shower must not be
connected to anything other than the sprayhead
supplied. DO NOT use jointing compounds on
any pipe fittings for the installation. DO NOT
solder fittings within the vicinity of the mixer unit
as heat transfer can damage the seals and
thermostatic components.
NOTE: Suitable service valves (complying with
Water Regulations and Byelaws) MUST be fitted
on the hot and cold water supplies to the shower
as an independent means of isolating the water
supplies should maintenance or servicing be
necessary.
When connecting the pipework, avoid using tight
90° elbows. Swept or formed bends will ensure
optimum performance.
Offset fittings
The supply pipes can be routed either from the
side, rising, rear or falling and must terminate in
standard 1/2” BSP female elbows (fig.9) to
accept the offset fittings supplied.
The inlet centres on the shower valves are 150mm
but with the offset fittings an additional 20mm
adjustment is provided.
When installing into a stud partition or other
hollow wall structures, the installer will need to
consider fabricating rear supports or other
options. Such options are beyond the scope of
this guide.
The hot and cold supply pipes must be anchored
rigidly in order to support the valve and prevent
movement after installation.
The pipe depth must be such that the face of the
elbow is flush with the finished surface.
Flush out the pipework in accordance with
Water Regulations and Byelaws.
Screw the supplied offset fittings into the female
elbows using PTFE thread tape, ensuring they are
the correct centres for the shower valve.
Make good the wall, tiling etc. up to the outlets.
Screw the supplied collars onto the fittings until
tight to the wall. The collars will provide a limited
degree of tolerance and the amount of exposed
thread will depend on the accuracy of elbows set
in the wall.
