Page 4: Before Installation
BEFORE INSTALLATION Most problems associated with the operation of thermostatic shower valves are caused by debris in the new pipe work getting into the thermostat. These problems are easily avoided by thoroughly flushing the pipe work BEFORE the valve is fitted. Failure to do so may invalidate your guarantee. Before installation, decide if the valve will be installed horizontally or vertically. -
Page 5: Installation Instructions
Figure 2 Vertical For vertical installations, timber noggins should be installed between studwork to allow for the frame to be fixed vertically. (Figure 2) When fitting the installation frame in either orientation, keep the tile guide assembled as this will ensure that the frame does not warp or bend during installation and also allow a spirit level to be used for accuracy. - Page 6 Brass Manifold Isolation Valve Figure 4 2. Once the frame is installed, remove the plastic tile guide. Install the supply pipework to the isolation valve and the brass manifolds. The hot water feed should be installed into the left hand manifold and the cold water feed to the right hand manifold.
- Page 7 COLD OUTLET 1 Figure 6 4. Connect the flexible hoses to the manifolds - ensure that each hose has a rubber washer inserted at each end to create a watertight seal. Once connected, label each hose with the corresponding inlet / outlet - this will help easily identify which hose is which during later installation stages.
- Page 8 COLD OUTLET 1 Figure 8 6. Once satisfied that there are no leaks, turn the water supply off and disconnect the valve from the flexible hoses. Before installing plasterboard and tiles, use the zip tie provided to tie the ends of the hoses together to make them easier to access later.
- Page 9 Figure 10 8. Once a hole has been cut in the plasterboard, secure it to the stud. The tile guide should pass through the hole in the plasterboard. Tile up to the edges of the tile guide to ensure the correct size access hole.
- Page 10 Figure 12 10. Pull the flexible hoses through the access hole in the wall and remove the zip tie. Figure 13 11. Working from left to right, using the labels as a guide, connect the hoses to the valve. Ensure the hose from the hot supply is connected to the inlet marked hot on the valve.
- Page 11 Figure 14 Housing Flange 12. Lift the valve and push the hoses back through the access hole, making sure the hoses do not kink (Figure 14). Position the valve flat against the tiles and line up the fixing holes with those on the metal installation frame.
- Page 12 NOTE: For horizontal installations, the cover plate can be fitted immediately - proceed to Step 14. For vertical installation the control button and temperature stop need to be removed and rotated so that they are in the correct orientation. To do so, follow the below instructions: Button Button Spring Fixing Nut...
- Page 13 Figure 18 14. Position the cover plate over the valve housing and fix in place with the cover plate fixing nut. Tighten the plate to the wall with the tool provided making sure not to scratch the cover plate. Make sure the cover plate is level and that the button is in line with those on the valve.
- Page 14 Figure 20 16. On the rear of the handle is a handle stop that sits against the right hand side of the valve temperature stop ring to prevent the handle being rotated past the pre-determined maximum temperature position. Without moving the temperature spindle, position the handle onto the cartridge so that it cannot rotate anti-clockwise.
- Page 15 Figure 22 18. With the handle installed, the centre dial can be pushed into place. The dial has a tab that fits into the temperature stop ring via a gap in the handle. To remove the dial for maintenance, line up the notch in the centre dial with the notch on the handle and use a small screwdriver to separate the two parts.
