GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
In the case of instantaneous heaters, hot water flow has to at least meet the minimum flow required by heater
and maintain burning (specified by heater manufacturer).
OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS
Hot water supply temperature:
• Maximum: 85°C/185°F
• Minimum: 5°C/41°F Higher than maximum required mixed temperature.
• Advisable 65°C/145°F
• Minimum difference between hot and mixed temperature is 10°C/50F.
Operating Pressure
• Maximum 145psi/10 bars
• Minimum 1.45psi/0.1 bar
Operating pressure (on hot and cold line) should be kept as balanced as possible in order to assure maximum
efficiency. When the pressure is higher than a 72.5psi/5 Bar, a pressure reducing valve is required to be fitted
before valve.
TECHNICAL DATA
This mixer is supplied with a cover plate (for installation depth see the reference on the cover). Temperature
limit setting of less than 49°C/120°F. The mixer ports are supplied ¾ NPT threads.
PLUMBING RECOMMENDATIONS
An independent water supply (both hot and cold) is required for the shower system (please refer to installa-
tion diagrams). Large runs of pipe work will cause frictional loss of pressure. In installations where a pump is
required, install pump before shower mixer inlets.
INSTALLATION BY-LAWS
The mixing valve should be installed in accordance with local/provincial/state and federal
by-laws.
IMPORTANT:
In case of reduction of flow rate, close the two main inlets and check if the filter at the bottom of the non-
return valve is dirty. If this is the case, clean them with the appropriate solution.
