Installation Requirements - Mira Sport Installation, Operation, Maintenance Manual

1. Plumbing
1.1. The Mira Sport is designed to operate with a minimum maintained inlet
pressure of 1.0 bar up to a maximum static inlet pressure of 10 bar.
1.2. The Mira Sport is normally connected to the cold water mains-fed supply.
However, the water supply can be taken from a cold water storage cistern,
provided there is a minimum maintained inlet head of water of 10 metres (the
vertical distance from the base of the cold water storage cistern to the shower
fitting handset). The cistern-fed water supply must be independent from other
supply draw-offs, and should avoid long horizontal pipe runs and use swept
bends rather than 90° elbows.
1.3. The Mira Sport is suitable for installation within the shower area. It must be
positioned over a water catchment area with the controls at a convenient height
for the user.
1.4. The Mira Sport is fitted with a brass inlet connector assembly intended to connect
to a 15 mm compression fitting supplied from the top, bottom or back.
1.5. Do not fit the Mira Sport to the wall and tile up to the case. The Mira Sport must
be fitted on to the finished flat and even wall surface. This is important as difficulty
may be encountered when fitting the cover and subsequent operation of the unit
could be impaired (Small pillars moulded on to the back of the case allow air
circulation).
1.6. Refrain from applying excessive force when making any connections. Always
provide mechanical support when making the plumbing connections.
1.7. Do not install the Mira Sport in a position where it may become frozen. The
shower unit must not be fitted where it may be exposed to freezing conditions.
The shower unit must not be used if suspected of being frozen.
1.8. We recommend that a non-restrictive (free flowing) isolating valve is fitted in the
cold water supply pipe to allow the complete maintenance of the Mira Sport. Do not
use a valve with a loose washer plate (jumper).
1.9. To avoid damage to the case when soldered fittings are used, pre-solder the
pipework and fittings before connecting them to the inlet connector assembly.
1.10. The Mira Sport is fitted with a ½ " BSP male outlet thread, to accept a Mira shower
hose.
