Application
Thermostat mixers are designed for hot water supplies from
pressurised storage heaters and offer the highest temperature
accuracy when used in this way. Given sufficient output
(min. 18 kW or 250 kcal per min), electric or gas-fired
instantaneous heaters are also suitable.
Thermostat mixers cannot be used in conjunction with low-
pressure storage heaters (displacement heaters).
All thermostat mixers are adjusted at the factory at a flow
pressure of 3 bar on both sides.
A shutoff device (A) must be installed after the mixed water
outlet of concealed thermostatic mixer (34 160), see fig. [1].
For an order number index to the various installation
components for the concealed mixer, see fig. [2].
a = Size of union
b = Part
c = Part No.
When this model is used as a central thermostat, standard
mixers can be installed at the draw-off points, in this case, the
thermostat mixer supplies hot water to which cold water can be
added.
The built-in thermostat with stop-valve (34 161 / 34 162) only
shuts off the upper outlet. An additional stop valve must be
fitted if the lower outlet is used, see fig. [2].

Safety stop
Hot water temperature at supply connection min. 2 °C higher
than mixed water temperature.
Hot water connection - W - (-H-)
Cold water connection - K - (-C-)
Minimum flow rate
At a flow pressure over 5 bar it is recommended that a
pressure reducing valve be fitted in the supply line.
Prevention of frost damage
When the domestic water system is drained, the thermostat
mixers must be drained separately, since non-return valves
are installed in the hot and cold water connections. The
complete thermostat assembly and non-return valves must be
unscrewed and removed.

New installations

- Prepare wall ready for mixer.
Drill holes for thermostat mixer and chase-out grooves for
pipelines.
Observe the installation depth in accordance with the
instructions given on the mounting template, see also
fig. [3].
x = Face of tiles
y = Front face of mounting template
z = Resting point for spirit level
- Align the mixer horizontally, vertically and parallel to the wall,
see fig. [4] (place a spirit level on the cams or face of the
mounting template).
- Install concealed thermostat mixer module in wall and
connect pipelines, see fold-out page III fig. [5].
The housing is provided with pre-drilled holes (B) to facilitate
mounting the fitting to the wall, see fold-out page I fig. [4].
- Do not solder the connections between the pipelines
and housing, otherwise the built-in non-return valves may
be damaged.
- Seal the open outlet with screw plug.
Note!
- The hot water supply must be connected on the left
(marked W (H) on housing) and the cold water supply on
the right (marked K (C) on housing), as viewed from the
operating position.
Test the pipelines and concealed thermostat module
connections for leaks.

10. Reinstall mounting template (D).
Plaster and tile the wall, excluding the area occupied by the
mounting template. Seal any apertures in the wall so that they
are watertight to spray water.
• Tiles laid in mortar should be pointed so that the joint is
tapered towards the outside.
• Seal prefabricated walls with a permanently plastic
compound.
Do not remove the fitting template before final installation.
