Installation - Mira Crescent Installation, Operation, Maintenance Manual

General
Installation must be carried out in accordance with these instructions, and must be
conducted by designated, qualified and competent personnel.
1. Before commencing, ensure that the installation conditions comply with the
information given in SPECIFICATION.
2. Care must be taken during installation to prevent any risk of injury or damage.
3. The mixing valve should be positioned for easy access during use and
maintenance. All routine maintenance procedures can be conducted with the
mixing valve body in place (except for strainer and checkvalve access). For all
models, allow a minimum 80 mm clearance in front of the temperature control to
enable removal of the servicable parts during maintenance.
4. The use of supply-line or zone strainers will reduce the need to remove debris at
each mixing valve point. The recommended maximum mesh aperture dimension
for such strainers is 0.5 mm.
5. Pipework must be rigidly supported.
6. Pipework dead-legs should be kept to a minimum. The mixed water outlet piping
should not exceed 2 m and the overall length from the hot water circuit to the
discharge point should not exceed 5 m.
7. Supply pipework layout should be arranged to minimise the effect of other outlet
usage upon the dynamic pressures at the mixing valve inlets.
8. Inlet and outlet threaded joint connections should be made with PTFE tape or
liquid sealant. Do not use oil-based, non-setting jointing compounds.
9. To eliminate pipe debris it is essential that supply pipes are thoroughly
flushed through before connection to the mixing valve.
Reversed Inlet Supplies
It is essential the inlet supplies correspond with the red and blue markings on the
thermostatic cartridge for the Mira Crescent to operate correctly. The shower control
is supplied with the inlet connections configured hot-left, cold-right. If the existing
hot and cold pipework makes this configuration inconvenient the cartridge inlets can
be reversed.
The connections can be altered by rotating the thermostatic cartridge through
180°, before or after installation is complete.
