INTRODUCTIONThis book contains all the necessary fitting andoperating instructions for your Triton pressurecompensating manual mixer shower. Please readthem carefully.

This type of mixer shower, once set at yourdesired temperature, will sense any pressurechanges in either hot or cold supply and adjust themix automatically to maintain the set temperature.

Note: The valve is not thermostatic and will notprevent water flowing from the sprayhead shouldthere be a loss of only one supply to the valve.

This mixer shower is suitable for fully modulatingtype combination boilers and multi-point hotwater heaters. It is also suitable for thermalstorage, unvented systems and pumped gravitysystems.

IMPORTANT: Before installing with a gasinstantaneous water heater, ensure theappliance is capable of hot water delivery ata minimum switch on flowrate of 3 litres perminute. At flow rates between 3 and 8 litresper minute the appliance must be capable ofraising the water temperature to a minimumof 52°C.Water temperature at the inlet to the mixermust remain relatively constant whenflowrate adjustments are made.

Designed to operate on higher pressure systemsfound in the U.K. up to a maximum of 5 barrunning pressure. The valve MUST NOT besubjected to water temperatures in excess of80°C.

Please read through the whole of this book beforebeginning your installation.

The installation must be carried out by a suitablycompetent person and in sequence of thisinstruction book.

Care taken during the installation will ensure along and trouble free life from your mixer shower.

Replacement parts can be ordered from TritonCustomer Service. See ‘spare parts’ for details andpart numbers.

SAFETY WARNINGS1 Layout and sizing of pipework must be suchthat when other services are used, pressures at theshower control inlets DO NOT fall below therecommended minimum.

2 DO NOT choose a position where the showercould become frozen.

3 The outlet of this appliance must not beconnected to any form of tap or fitting notrecommended by the manufacturer.

4 The sprayhead must be cleaned regularly toremove scale/debris.

5 Conveniently situated isolating valves must befitted as an independent method of isolating theshower should maintenance or servicing benecessary.

6 If it is intended to operate the shower in areasof hard water it is advisable to fit a scale inhibitor(see Note below).

7 If it is intended to operate the shower outsidethe guidelines laid out in the site requirementsthen see Note below.

SITE REQUIREMENTSThe installation must be in accordance with WaterRegulations/Byelaws.

Minimum running water pressure: 1 bar.

Maximum running water pressure: 5 bar.

Maximum static water pressure: 10 bar.

For optimum performance within the specifiedpressure range both hot and cold water suppliesmust be fed from a common supply and aminimum flow of 8 litres per minute should beavailable to both inlets.

Whilst the mixer valve is operational (open outlet),inlet pressures must not be capable of exceeding7 bar. For effective operation of internal seals, themaximum static pressure must not be exceeded.

Note: On sites where the running pressure isabove 5 bar, the use of a suitably sized pressurereducing valve fitted in the cold mains supplypipework can provide nominally equal pressures atthe mixer valve. This should be installed asindicated on the appropriate diagrams illustratedon these pages, and set to within the specificationof the valve.

The valve is designed to maintain a stabletemperature under varying inlet pressures,providing the inlet temperature remains constant.

Note: The valve is not thermostatic and will notprevent water flowing from the sprayhead shouldthere be a loss of only one supply to the valve.

The pipework should be installed such that theflow is not significantly affected by other taps andappliances being operated elsewhere on thepremises.

Note: Where thermal store/combi boilers or multi-point heaters are used, if excessive draw offs takeplace the boiler may not be able to maintain anadequate output temperature. This could result inthe shower temperature becoming noticeablycooler. DO NOT use jointing compounds onpipework.

SITING OF THE SHOWER

Position the shower valve and sprayhead on thewall so that all the controls can be comfortablyreached whilst using the shower. The sprayheadand riser rail can be positioned either side of theshower valve.

Note: Pipe entry can be from the top, bottom orrear.

IMPORTANT: The hot entry port is on the left-hand side of the valve when viewed from thefront with the outlet adaptor on theunderside.

WARNING!

THE SHOWER MUST NOT BE POSITIONEDWHERE IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO FREEZING

TYPICAL SUITABLE INSTALLATIONSa) Instantaneous gas-heated systems, e.g.combination boilers (fig.2).The shower control MUST be installed with amultipoint gas water heater or combination boilerof a fully modulating design (i.e. to maintainrelatively stable hot water temperatures).

A drop tight pressure reducing valve MUST befitted if the supply pressures exceed 5 bar running.

An expansion vessel (shown in fig.2) MUST befitted, and regularly maintained, to ensure theshower mixer is not damaged by excess pressures.This may already be installed within the boiler(check with manufacturer) and is in addition to thenormally larger central heating expansion vessel.

The layout and sizing of pipework MUST be suchthat nominally equal inlet supply pressures areachieved and the effects of other draw-offs areminimised. The hot supply temperature MUSTremain a minimum of 10°C hotter than therequired blend temperature for optimumperformance.

b) Unvented mains pressure systems (fig.3).The shower control can be installed with anunvented, stored hot water cylinder.

For systems with no cold water take off after theappliance reducing valve, it will be necessary to fitan additional drop tight pressure reducing valvewhen the mains pressure is over 5 bar. The droptight pressure reducing valve must be set at thesame value as the unvented package pressurereducing valve.

Note: An additional expansion vessel (fig.3) maybe required if a second pressure reducing valve isinstalled. This does not apply to packages with acold take off after the pressure reducing valve tothe cylinder.

The layout and sizing of pipework MUST be suchthat nominally equal inlet supply pressures areachieved and the effects of other draw-offs areminimised.

FITTING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL

Note: The outlet of the shower must not beconnected to any tap or fitting not recommendedby Triton Plc.

DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipefittings for the installation.

DO NOT solder fittings within the vicinity of theshower unit, as heat transfer can damagecomponents.

Note: Suitable isolating valves (complying withWater Regulations/Byelaws) MUST be fitted on thehot and cold water supplies to the shower as anindependent means of isolating the water suppliesshould maintenance or servicing be necessary.

When connecting pipework avoid using tight 90°elbows. Swept or formed bends will ensureoptimum performance.

IMPORTANT: The water circuit should beinstalled such that the flow is notsignificantly affected by other taps andappliances being operated elsewhere on thepremises. Water pressure must not fall belowspecification of the shower valve.

The hot water pipe entry must be on the leftof the valve.

This pressure compensating mixer valve includes amounting bracket (fig.6) and a mounting strapwhich allows the shower valve to be fixed into asolid wall, a stud partition wall or other hollowwall structures. The brackets can also be used forfitting in a shower cubicle, providing the back ofthe cubicle is accessible.

When installing into a stud partition or otherhollow wall structure the installer may wish toconsider fabricating rear supports or otheroptions. Such options are beyond the scope of thisguide.

BUILDING-IN TO A SOLID WALL

The building depth for the shower into a solid wallis between 68mm and 78mm. The building indepth calculation must include the thickness ofplaster and tiles. This dimension determines howmuch of the shower control is visible through theconcealing plate when the installation iscompleted.

Decide on the shower position and determinewhether the hot and cold water supplies will enterthe shower from the top (falling) or bottom(rising) or rear.

Mark the route of the incoming and outgoingpipework.

The inlet elbows are NOT adjustable and the pipecentres are fixed at 153mm. It is therefore advisedto mount the valve unit in position first, then pipeto it.

Fit the valve body to the mounting strap ensuringthe strap sits in the recess and secure with the twoscrews supplied (fig.7).

Note: The strap can be fitted in two ways (fig.8)depending if the mounting bracket is used or not,i.e. the mounting strap can be secured directly tothe wall if required with the screws supplied, or itcan be fitted to the mounting bracket which inturn is secured to the wall.

Remove the plaster and brickwork to the depthshown (fig.9) and chase out any additional areasof wall to facilitate pipework to and from thevalve.

Offer the mounting bracket up to the wall andmark the two outer plain fixing holes (fig.10). Drilland plug, then screw the bracket to the wall.

Ensure the adaptor is fitted with the HOSE END inthe valve housing (fig.11). Fit the blanking plugand ‘O’ ring into the bottom outlet.

Ensure the inlet elbows are orientated the correctway. Offer the valve up to the mounting bracket(fig.12) or wall surface, and secure the mountingstrap using the two screws provided.

Complete the pipework to the shower marking offthe length to enter the elbows. Remove the valveand cut the pipes to length.
