Bath shower mixer
1
INTRODUCTION
This book contains all the necessary fitting and
operating instructions for your Unichrome Tyne
thermostatic bath shower mixer.
Please read the instructions carefully. Read
through the whole of this book BEFORE
beginning your installation.
The mixer installation MUST be carried out by a
suitably competent person and in sequence of
this instruction book.
Care taken during the installation will ensure a
long and trouble free life from your mixer.
For best performance within the specified
running pressure range a minimum flow of eight
litres per minute should be available to both
inlets.
The bath shower mixer MUST NOT be subjected
to water temperatures above 80°C.
This mixer is designed for use with high pressure
systems found in the UK up to a maximum of 5
bar running pressure.
IMPORTANT: When installing this mixer with
a combination boiler or multipoint water
heater a flow regulator MUST be installed in
the unit.
The mixers are suitable for fully modulating type
combination boilers and multi-point hot water
heaters. It is also suitable for thermal storage
and unvented systems.
IMPORTANT: Before installing with a gas
instantaneous water heater, make sure it is
capable of delivering hot water at a minimum
switch-on flow rate of 3 litres per minute.
At flow rates between 3 and 8 litres per
minute, the appliance must be capable of
raising the water temperature to a minimum
of 52°C. Water temperature at the inlet to
the mixer must remain relatively constant
when flow rate adjustments are made (refer
to the water heater operating manual to confirm
compatibility with this mixer).
This mixer is supplied with an integral single
check valve and integral filter in each inlet. The
bath pillars inlet connections are to ¾” BSP tap
connector fittings (not supplied).
SAFETY WARNINGS
a Layout and sizing of pipework MUST be
such that when other services are used,
pressures at the mixer control inlets
DO NOT fall below the recommended
minimum.
b DO NOT choose a position where the
bath shower mixer could become
frozen.
c DO NOT connect this mixer to
any form of tap or fitting not
recommended by the manufacturer.
d The showerhead MUST be regularly cleaned
to remove scale and debris.
e Conveniently situated service valves in
each inlet supply MUST be fitted as an
independent method of isolating the
mixer should maintenance or servicing be
necessary.
fIf it is intended to operate the mixer in areas
of hard water (above 200 ppm temporary
hardness), a scale inhibitor may have to
be fitted. For advice on the Triton scale
inhibitor, please contact Customer Service.
gDO NOT operate the mixer outside
the guidelines as laid out in ‘site
requirements’.
Replacement parts can be ordered from Triton
Customer Service. See ‘spare parts’ for details and part
numbers.
Due to continuous improvement and updating,
specification may be altered without prior notice.
