INTRODUCTION
This book contains all the necessary fitting and
operating instructions for your Triton Antares
dual control thermostatic mixer shower. Please
read them carefully. Read through the whole of
this book before beginning your installation.
The shower installation MUST be carried out by
a suitably competent person and in sequence of
this instruction book.
Care taken during the installation will provide a
long and trouble free life from your shower.
For best performance within the specified
running pressure range a minimum flow of eight
litres per minute should be available to both
inlets.
The mixer shower MUST NOT be subjected to
water temperatures above 80°C.
This mixer shower is designed for use with
traditional low pressure 'gravity' water systems,
using a cold water cistern and hot water cylinder
as well as for the higher pressure systems found
in the UK up to a maximum of 5 bar running
pressure.
IMPORTANT: When installing this mixer
with combination and multipoint hot water
appliances, the supplied flow restricters
MUST be installed.
This mixer shower is suitable for fully
modulating type combination boilers and multi-
point hot water heaters. It is also suitable for
thermal storage, unvented systems and pumped
gravity systems.
IMPORTANT: Before installing with a gas
instantaneous water heater, make sure it is
capable of delivering hot water at a minimum
switch-on flow rate of 3 litres per minute. At
flow rates between 3 and 8 litres per minute,
the appliance must be capable of raising the
water temperature to a minimum of 52°C.
Water temperature at the inlet to the mixer
must remain relatively constant when flow
rate adjustments are made (refer to the water
heater operating manual to confirm compatibility
with this mixer shower).
Dual control thermostatic mixer
1
This mixer shower is supplied with an integral
single check valve and integral large area filter
in each inlet. Inlet connections are by ½" BSP to
22mm or 15mm compression (not supplied).
SAFETY WARNINGS
a
Layout and sizing of pipework MUST be
such that when other services are used,
pressures at the shower control inlets do not
fall below the recommended minimum.
b
DO NOT choose a position where the
shower could become frozen.
c
DO NOT connect this mixer shower
to any form of tap or fitting not
recommended by the manufacturer.
d
The showerhead MUST be regularly cleaned
to remove scale and debris.
e
Conveniently situated service valves in
each inlet supply MUST be fitted as an
independent method of isolating the
shower should maintenance or servicing be
necessary.
f
If it is intended to operate the shower
in areas of hard water (above 200 ppm
temporary hardness), a scale inhibitor may
have to be fitted. For advice on the Triton
scale inhibitor, please contact Customer
Service.
g
DO NOT operate the shower outside
the guidelines as laid out in 'site
requirements'.
Replacement parts can be ordered from Triton
Customer Service. See 'spare parts' for details and part
numbers.
Due to continuous improvement and updating,
specification may be altered without prior notice.
