Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a quality Mira product. To
enjoy the full potential of your new product, please
take time to read this guide thoroughly, having
done so, keep it handy for future reference.
Mira shower fittings are designed to give a
satisfactory shower over a range of pressures.
These fittings are suitable for pressures between
0.1 and 5.0 bar.
General
1. Make sure that the shower fittings are installed
by a competent installer.
2. Installations must comply with Water Regulations
(Bye-Laws, Scotland), and any other Local
Regulations and Building Regulations in force
at the time of installation.
3. Before installation carefully inspect the new
fixture for any signs of damage.
4. The shower fittings should be positioned at a
convenient height for all the family. Position
the fittings to spray across rather then towards
the opening of the cubicle and also away from
the shower control. Avoid layouts where the
shower hose will be sharply kinked. This may
reduce the life of the hose.
5. A hose retaining ring is supplied to prevent
the handset from dropping below the spill
over level of the bath or shower, which could
lead to contamination from backsiphonage.
The supplied hose retaining ring should meet
the great majority of user requirements for
shower installations with flexible outlet fittings.
However, there will be occasions when the
hose retaining ring will not provide a suitable
solution. In these instances an outlet double
check valve, e.g. the Mira DCV-H, must be
fitted. The inclusion of the Mira DCV-H will
increase the required supply pressure typically
by 0.1 bar.
6. Do not fit any form of flow control in the outlet
pipe work if the shower fittings are installed
in conjunction with a product that requires
the fittings to act as a vent (e.g. an electric
shower).
7. Special consideration should be given to the
fixing arrangements when installing onto a
dry lined, stud partition, shower cubicle or
laminated panel wall structures. Installers may
wish to obtain alternative proprietary cavity
fixings, or choose other options, however,
these methods of fixing are beyond the scope
of this guide.
Cleaning
Many household cleaners contain abrasives and
chemical substances, and should not be used for
cleaning plated or plastic fittings.
These finishes should be cleaned with a mild
washing up detergent or soap solution, and then
wiped dry using a soft cloth.
Use your thumb or a soft cloth to wipe any
limescale from the soft nozzles and the front
surface of the handset spray plate.
Spare Parts
Spare part numbers are indicated in bold and are
available from authorised stockists or merchants
(locations on request) or direct from Mira
Customer Services, our contact details can be
found on the back cover of this guide.
