Ensure all parts are present, before discarding any packaging. If any parts are missing, do not attempt to install your Inta shower valve until the missing parts have been obtained. Unvented Mains Pressure System The drawing shows a typical installation of a shower mixing valve in conjunction with an un-vented hot water system.
Pumped Systems Pumped systems use a booster pump to increase the pressure of the gravity fed water supplies. These booster pumps are used where the head of water is insufficient to provide a satisfactory shower or where a high performance shower is required.

Gravity System The drawing shows a typical installation of a shower valve on a gravity supplied system. Please note the minimum head pressure required to ensure correct operation of the valve. In accordance with good plumbing practice, we recommend that a totally independent hot and cold water supply be taken to the valve.
Site Preparation It is important to plan the installation thoroughly to suit site conditions before commencing. • Before commencing the installation ensure site conditions are suitable. • The shower mixing valve is designed for concealed pipework, whether in a solid or studded wall.
Solid wall • Create a large enough cavity for the shower valve and chase the wall for the two supply pipes and a route from the outlet of the shower valve to the outlet elbow and overhead shower. • If the shower valve is to be fitted in an outside wall or where there is a greater risk of freezing the preformed insulation (17) should be used, which...

Calibration The Inta Kiko shower valve has a factory set outlet temperature of 38˚C via the security setting. This is based on a balanced supply pressure and a stable hot water inlet temperature of 65˚C. However, the calibration point MUST be checked and re-set as necessary to suit site conditions.

Calibration and Cartridge Replacement Aftercare Inta shower mixing valves have a high quality finish and should be treated with care. An occasional wipe with a mild washing-up liquid on a soft damp cloth followed by a thorough rinsing is all that is required.
Problem Solving The following details are supplied for on site queries, should you require any further assistance our Technical Department can be contacted directly on 01889 272199. Fault Solution Showering temperature is not hot enough. Ensure the hot water supply is at a constant temperature above 60˚C.
Water Outlets - Installation • The pipework for the water outlets must be fixed securely to a structural members of the stud wall and/or an additional member may need to be included. • If there is access from the adjacent room into the wall cavity or from the room above or roof space into the ceiling space, the surface of the shower room wall can be finished with most of the tiling completed or the ceiling finished.
Slide Rail - Installation The screws and wall plugs supplied are only suitable for use in solid walls. If the wall is plaster board or soft building block use special wall plugs obtainable from most DIY stores. Ensure there are no supply pipes or cables where you intend to drill. Take care to use power tools safely.

If under any circumstances there are aspects to the installation / system which do not comply with the specification laid down, the valve MUST NOT be put into operation until the system / installation complies with the specification.
Commissioning 5. If the mixed water temperature exceeds the recommended temperature of 41˚C by 2˚C or does not reach 41˚C the shower valve can be adjusted as follows: 5.1 With stable supply conditions remove the temperature control knob. 5.2 Rotate the temperature control knob by one spline clockwise to increase the temperature and one spline anticlockwise to reduce it.
