Modulating Combi Boiler / Instantaneous Gas Water Heater The drawing shows a typical installation of a shower valve in conjunction with a combination boiler. Combi boilers will produce a constant flow of water at a temperature within its operating range. However we recommend that the system should supply hot water in excess of 60˚C.
Site Preparation It is important to plan the installation thoroughly to suit site conditions before commencing. • Before commencing the installation ensure site conditions are suitable. • The shower mixing valve is designed for concealed pipework, whether in a solid or studded wall.

Calibration The Inta Kiko shower valve has a factory set outlet temperature of 38˚C via the security setting. This is based on a balanced supply pressure and a stable hot water inlet temperature of 65˚C. However, the calibration point MUST be checked and re-set as necessary to suit site conditions.
Aftercare Inta shower mixing valves have a high quality finish and should be treated with care. An occasional wipe with a mild washing-up liquid on a soft damp cloth followed by a thorough rinsing is all that is required.
Problem Solving The following details are supplied for on site queries, should you require any further assistance our Technical Department can be contacted directly on 01889 272199. Fault Solution Showering temperature is not hot enough. Ensure the hot water supply is at a constant temperature above 60˚C.
Slide Rail - Installation The screws and wall plugs supplied are only suitable for use in solid walls. If the wall is plaster board or soft building block use special wall plugs obtainable from most DIY stores. Ensure there are no supply pipes or cables where you intend to drill. Take care to use power tools safely.

Installation 3. The supply to which the thermostatic shower valve is to be installed must be thoroughly flushed and cleaned to remove any debris, which may have accumulated during the installation. Failure to remove any debris will affect the performance and the manufacturer’s warranty of the product.

Commissioning 2. Commissioning the temperatures must be carried out using a suitably calibrated thermometer, preferably a digital thermometer. The sensing part of the thermometer probe must be fully submerged in the water when testing. 3. The valve must be commissioned taking into consideration any fluctuations, which may occur within the system due to simultaneous demands.
Commissioning 5.5 Repeat 4.4 and 4.5. 5.6 Secure the temperature control knob with the retaining screw and re-fit the cover. 6. The above information must be recorded and updated on every occasion when any work is carried out on the valve. In Service Testing It is a requirement that all TMV2 approved valves shall be verified against the original set temperature results once a year.
