Flow control is incorporated in the mixing valve, eliminatingthe need for check valves on the inlets. No form of flow controlshould be fitted on the outlet.

Conveniently situated isolating valves for servicing purposesshould be fitted.

Installations must comply with requirements of local waterauthority by-laws.

Mira 722L, 722LB (low capacity) also Mira 722E, 722EB (leveraction) models are installed similarly as described for Mira 722,Mira 722B models.

Important PointsIn the UK, hot and cold supplies MUST originate from a coldwater cistern and must NOT be connected directly to the coldwater main.

Certain types of instantaneous water heaters can be used, but wemust first be consulted. There is an approved layout which mustbe followed. All information necessary iEavailable on request.PressuresMinimum static to discharge point e.g. spray head 9kPa (3fthead). *The absolute minimum head is 2ft. In such cases shortpipe runs must be used and good plumbing practicelfollowed.Under these conditions the flow rate will be approxiinately 3.5litres per minute (and the performance of thermostatic controlscould be slightly impaired). Maximum static 825 kPa (120Ibf/in2).

Note: Minimum pressures with minimum pipe runs requiresvertical distance from bottom of cold cistern to discharge point tobe 0.92m (3ft). Due allowance must be made for longer pipe runs.

Where hot and cold pressures are unequal the ratio betweenthem must not exceed 5:1 e.g. higher pressure must not be morethan five times lower pressure.

Layout and sizing of pipework must be such that when otherservices are used, pressures at inlets do not fall belowrecommended minimum.

Supply lines should be flushed until water is clear, beforemixing valve is connected.

Where insufficient pressure exists, or a more forceful sprayrequired, certain types of pumps can be used, but we must first beconsulted. There is an approved layout which must be followed.All information necessary is available on request.Connections Inlets/outlet: 1/2inBSP

Connect HOT water to inlet marked RED and COLD water toinlet marked BLUE. Connections, when facing mixing valve, arehot left, cold right.

Operation and Maintenance Advice(including G72 Series)OperationTurn flow control knob anti-clockwise until desired force of wateris obtained.

Turn temperature regulating assembly lever until desiredtemperature of water is obtained.

MaxiqmIn temperature of water at discharge point can beregulated so that water at too high a temperature is not obtained atdischarge point e.g. spray head.

To check maximum temperature. Ensure an adequate supply ofHOT water is available at a temperature in ex(;esSof that requiredfrom the mixing valve, turn on flow control and move lever toposition 5.

Check temperature with thermometer at discharge point. Forshower use, recommended temperature setting is approximately43°C (110°F).

Re-setting Maximum TemperatureRemove flow control knob bolt (610 80), nameplate and flowcontrol knob (039 09). Unscrew 2 attachment screws (602 26)andremm'etemperature regulating assembly (800 01) from cover(Figure 9).

Grip larger protruding spline by hand, rotating it (clockwise) toincrease temperature (anti-clockwi'se to decrease temperature)until desired maximum temperature is obtained at dischargepoint.

Set lever on scale to position 5 (Figure 10).Hold in this positionand replace onto cover, aligning attachment screw holes with 2holes in cover. Replace attachment screws, do not over-tighten.Replace flow control knob, nameplate and bolt.

~t~o~FI,~«AMaintenanceIf a new mixing valve fails to operate satisfactorily it is usually theresult of incorrect installation and the installer should beconsulted. The Diagnosis Chart which follows will assist you inidentifying the reason why your new mixing valve is not~perating satisfactorily.

Refer Important Points within Installation Advice forconditions within which mixing valve should be installed.

If the mixing valve has operated satisfactorily for a time and nolonger gives satisfaction, it is possible that service is necessary.Please note that the internal parts should be kept clean and suchwork is not included within the guarantee. The Servicing-Procedures advice which follows will assist you in the method ofmaintenance. Our experience has shown that due to thesimplicity of design, the average user is capable of cleaning theinternal parts, replacing seals, or if necessary, fitting areplacement cartridge assembly.

You may, if you wish, choose to engage the services of a suitablyqualified person locally.Gold Plated ProductsGold is softer than chrome and its abrasive resistance much less.When cleaning, or using tools during servicing, extra care shouldbe taken.

CleaningGold plated fittings should be cleaned with a soft cloth and ifnecessary a mild washing up detergent or soap solution and thenrinsed and rubbed dry.

WarningMany modern household cleaners contain mild abrasives, as wellas chemicals and should never be used for cleaning gold, orchrome plated fittings.Servicing ProcedureRefer Figure 13 below for identification of parts and sequence ofassembly.

Diagnosis Otart

Symptom

Hot water supplied by the mixing valvewhen the temperature control is in thecold position or vice versa.

Only cold and warm water obtainablewith a high pressure spray in the coldposition and a lower pressure spray inthe warm position.

Mixing valve operates satisfactorilyuntil other domestic services arebrought into use.

Leaks from shower fittings of pipework.

Possible Reason

Mixing valve installed with hot waterconnected to the cold water inlet. Hotwater should normally be connected toleft inlet when facing unit.

Cold water inlet fed directly from coldwater mains supply. Both hot and coldsupplies should originate from the coldwater cistern.

As the thermostat compensates fornormal variations in pressure, it is likelythat the plumbing design is such thatexcessive reductions in pressure areoccuring.

Unions or joints require tightening.

Action

Request installer to investigate andrectify. (Also refer 'Reversed Inlets')

Request installer to investigate andrectify.

Request installer to investigate andrectify .

Request installer to rectify.

Persistent leak from shower head (notto be confused with dripping whichcan occur for a while after shower hasbeen in use).

Seals have become damaged by foreignmatter in water supplies.

A setof seals with instructions maybe purchased. If leak continuesfit a replacement cartridgeassembly.

Symptom

Flow of water from shower head isinsufficient for satisfactory shower.

Possible Reason

Minimum pressure requirements notobserved. Vertical distance frombottom of cold water cistern to showerhead should be 3ft minimum.

Spray plates are,blocked by foreignmatter in water supply.

Partial blockage or airlock inpipework.

Shower head in use (not of ourmanufactOre) unsuitable for lowpressures.

Action

Request installer to investigate andrectify .

Remove and clean spray plates bybrushing out flutes.

Request installer to investigate andrectify.Fit shower head of our manufacture.

Temperature satisfactory at first butfails before the shower is completed.

Maximum temperature obtainable iseither too high or too low.

No temperature control afterperiod of satisfactory use.

Hot water storage temperature is notbeing maintained. The mixing valvemust be supplied with hot water whichis always well in excess of the mixedtemperature required.

Maximum temperature requiresre-setting.

Build up of deposits on internal parts,

Ensure hot water storage temperatureis adequately maintained, preferablyat least 20"Cabove the showeringtemperature.

Re-set the maximum temperature ~yfollowing the instructions on page 3.
