    INTRODUCTION The fittings covered by these instructions should be installed in accord- ance with the Water Regulations published in 1999*. Ideal Standard strongly recommends that these fittings are installed by a professional fitter. *A guide to the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and the Water Byelaws 2000, Scotland is published by WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) Unit 13, Willow Road, Pen-y-Fan Industrial Estate, Crumlin, Gwent, NP11 4EG.
  • Page 9: Water Supply Conditions

    WATER SUPPLY CONDITIONS Introduction These thermostatic shower mixers are manufactured to the highest standards & have approval to TMV2. The mixer is intended to be installed on high pressure systems (1.0 bar or greater). The mixer has safety features such as cool body technolgy and temperature limit stop. To make installation easier, fast fix wall mounts are supplied.
  • Page 10: Water Regulations

    WATER REGULATIONS CATEGORIES OF RISK The water regulations published in 1999* take a new approach to backflow in that they look at different categories of risk. The installer must assess the risk from the various categories of fluid in adjacent appliances before determining the level of backflow protection required for a particular installation.
