Introduction; Site Requirements; Safety Warnings - Triton CADENCE Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

INTRODUCTION

This book contains all the necessary fitting and
operating instructions for your mixer shower.
Please read them carefully and read through
the whole of this book before beginning your
installation.
The shower installation must be carried out by
a suitably competent person and in sequence of
this instruction book.
Care taken during the installation will give a long
and trouble free life from your mixer shower.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

The installation must be in accordance with
Water Regulations and Bylaws.
Water pressure requirements
Running water pressure:
Gravity fed
Mains fed
Maximum static water pressure:
Gravity and mains - 10 bar
This mixer shower is designed for use with
traditional low pressure 'gravity' water systems,
using a cold water cistern and hot water cylinder
as well as for the higher pressure systems found
in the UK up to a maximum of 5 bar running
pressure.
For effective operation of the internal seals, the
maximum static pressure must not be exceeded.
Pressure reducing valve
On sites where the running pressure is above 5
bar, the use of a suitably sized pressure reducing
valve fitted in the cold mains supply pipe work
can provide nominally equal pressures at the
mixer shower.
Replacement parts can be ordered from Customer
Service. See 'spare parts' for details and part numbers.
Thermostatic mixer shower
- 0.5 bar min.
1.0 bar max.
- 1.0 bar min.
5.0 bar max.
Water minimum flow rate
For best performance within the specified
running pressure range a minimum flow of
8 litres per minute should be available to both
inlets.
Water temperature requirements
Maximum hot water temperature:
Recommended maximum:
Minimum hot water temperature:
Maximum cold water temperature: = 20°C
The mixer shower MUST NOT be subjected to
water temperatures above 80°C.
BS 6700 recommends that the temperature of
stored water should never exceed 65°C.
A stored water temperature of 60°C is considered
sufficient to meet all normal requirements and
will minimise the effects of scale in hard water
areas.
Water temperature adjustment and
thermal safety
The mixed water temperature can be adjusted
from cold through to a top limit which must
be preset during installation with full anti-scald
protection throughout the range (35°C to 40°C)
providing the hot water temperature at the inlet
remains 10°C above the outlet temperature.
Should there be a loss of flow to either incoming
supply then- water from the shower will stop or
be reduced until both supplies are restored.

SAFETY WARNINGS

a. DO NOT choose a position where the shower
could become frozen.
b. DO NOT connect this mixer shower to any
form of tap or fitting not recommended by
the manufacturer.
c. DO NOT allow the inlet pressure or flow
rates to operate outside the guidelines laid
out in 'site requirements'.
d. DO NOT connect the mixer shower to a
gravity hot supply and a mains cold supply
(or vice versa).
