Caroma ELVIRE Installation Instructions

PLUMBERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important Information
The timber handle MUST NOT be used in a Shower
*
installation, it is only suitable for bath installations.
Brazed connections should NOT be made directly onto the
*
mixer, as exccesive heat will cause permanent damage.
Final install must be checked at rough-in stage (step 1).
*
All pipework must be thoroughly flushed prior to installation.
*
This mixer accommodates in-wall depths from 65 - 75mm. For
*
installations with less than 75mm, the handle insert (6) must
be cut by using spacer (4) as a template. (Step 3 & Fig.4.)
This mixer is fitted with a 'Progressive' cartridge. To operate
*
the cartridge, the handle is rotated clockwise (Fig.3). The first
90° of handle rotation will only select cold water, avoiding
unnecessary use of hot water. Further rotation of the handle
will deliver a mixture of hot and cold. When the handle is
rotated fully clockwise, only hot water will flow.
* All pipework must be thoroughly flushed prior to installation.
Installation
Fit mixer body (16) onto a suitable mounting plate or
1)
noggin in the wall and secure using screws (not supplied)
through the holes in its base. When facing the mixer, the
connections should be as follows:
Hot water inlet connection 'H' to the left.
Cold water inlet connection 'C' to the right.
Outlet to shower 'S', vertically upwards.
Outlet to bath 'B', vertically downwards.
Check all connections for leaks and mixer for correct operation.
Important :
Mixer body (16) must be installed square to wall/tile face, to
*
ensure cover plate (8) sits flush.
To avoid damaging the decorative finish, do not remove the
*
plastic protective sleeves until installation has been completed.
2) Pass the sleeve (7) through the cover plate (8) &
'O'Ring (8a), place the cover plate (8) over the plastic inserts
(6 & 14) then screw sleeve (7) partially into the thread of
nut (9) on mixer body (16). Pass the diverter sleeve (13)
through the cover plate & 'O'Ring (8b) & screw into diverter
nut (15). Carefully tighten the sleeve (7) & diverter sleeve
(13) equally to fully compress the foam seal (9c) against the
wall/tile face, taking care not to damage the decorative finish.
Important: The cut-outs in the diverter sleeve (13)
must be in horizontal alignment when the sleeve is
tightened against the wall cover plate (Fig.2).
ELVIRE - BATH/SHOWER MIXER WITH DIVERTER
Pressure & Temperature Requirements.
Hot and cold water inlet pressures should be equal.
Static inlet pressure range : 150-1000 kPa
New Regulation:- 500 kPa maximum static pressure
at any outlet within a building. (Ref. AS/NZS 3500.1)
Maximum hot water temperature : 80 C.
The installing plumber is responsible for waterproofing
all penetrations for Taps in Shower areas at installation
by a proprietary flange system or a sealant.(Ref AS3740)
When the metal handle (1) is to be fitted:-
3)
If required, using the plastic handle spacer (4A) as a template,
place the flat side of the spacer against the front surface of the
sleeve (7) & scribe a line around the plastic insert (6) as shown
(Fig.4). Carefully cut the plastic insert (6) along the marked line
and remove any burrs, then slide the plastic handle spacer (4A)
onto the plastic insert (6) until spacer rests against the sleeve (7).
When the timber handle is to be fitted:-
THE TIMBER HANDLE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN A
SHOWER AREA.
If required, using the brass handle spacer (4B) as a template,
place the flat side of the spacer against the front surface of the
sleeve (7) & scribe a line around the plastic insert (6) as shown
(Fig.4). Carefully cut the plastic insert (6) along the marked line
and remove any burrs, then slide the brass handle spacer (4B)
onto the plastic insert (6) until spacer rests against the sleeve (7).
4) Rotate the plastic insert (6) anti-clockwise to the stop position.
Fit handle (1) onto insert (6) with the handle fixing scew hole
pointing vertically downwards as shown (Fig.2). While holding
the handle (1) firmly against the spacer (4), tighten grub
screw (2) using the 2.5mm allen key (3).
5)
Rotate the plastic insert (14) anti-clockwise to the stop position.
Slide the hexagonal washer (12) onto the plastic insert (14) until
the washer rests against the diverter sleeve (13). Fit diverter
knob (11) onto insert (14) with the position indicator line
marking at the top (Fig. 3). Rotate the knob (11) a quarter turn
clockwise (position marking indicating to the right) and depress
the knob until it bottoms and there is a small gap between the
knob & the cover plate (8). Now rotate the knob (11) clockwise
to the stop. The position marking is now indicating the bath
position. Rotating the knob anti-clockwise to the stop will select
the shower position.
6)
Turn on Hot and Cold water supplies and check operation.
IMPORTANT
Installation Requirements.
Replacing Cartridge (Fig. 2)
1)
Turn off hot and cold water supplies.
2) Using a 2.5mm allen key (3), loosen grub screw (2) then remove
handle (1) & spacer (4). Undo screw (5) using a 2.5mm allen key
then remove handle insert (6). Rotate the diverter knob (11)
midway between bath & shower (position marking indicating to
the right) & pull the knob (11) to remove. Take out the hexagonal
washer (12). Unscrew sleeve (7) & diverter sleeve (13) and
remove cover plate (8), taking care not to damage the decorative
finish. Unscrew retaining nut (9) (32mm A/F) then lift out old
cartridge (10).
3) Ensure inside face of mixer body (16) is clean. Check that seals
are in position in base of new cartridge (10). Fit new cartridge (10)
into mixer body (16), taking care the lug on base of cartridge (10)
fits into mating hole in mixer body (16). Screw on nut (9).
Important: Nut (9) should be tightened until solid. Rotate the
cartridge (10) spindle anti-clockwise to the stop position then fit
insert (6) ensuring the flat sides of the insert are in
horizontal/vertical alignment. Small adjustments can be made to
the alignment by loosening nut (9) and rotating the cartridge
slightly before re tightening the nut. Retain the insert (6) to the
spindle using screw (5). Replace the cover plate (8)
(see installation step 2).
4) Slide the handle spacer (4) onto the plastic insert (6) until the
spacer rests against the sleeve (7). Fit handle (1) onto insert (6)
with the handle fixing screw hole pointing vertically downwards
as shown (Fig.2). While holding the handle (1) firmly against the
spacer (4), tighten grub screw (2) using the 2.5mm allen key (3).
To replace diverter knob (11) go to step 5 (Installation).
5) Turn on water supplies and check operation.
