FAQs
What is the primary safety feature of this mixing valve?
The primary safety feature is its automatic shutoff function, which immediately stops the water flow if either the hot or cold water supply fails, preventing scalding or cold shocks.
What size are the inlet connections?
The inlet connections are 22mm.
Is this valve suitable for all water pressures?
Yes, it is suitable for both high and low-pressure bath fill applications and complies with Part G regulations.
How do I clean the filters?
The filters are serviceable and can typically be accessed by carefully unscrewing the filter housing. Clean them under running water and reassemble. Refer to the full manual for detailed instructions.
What does WRAS approved mean?
WRAS approval signifies that the product meets the high standards set by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme for quality, safety, and performance, ensuring it is safe to use with drinking water.
Can this valve be used for shower applications?
This specific model is designed for under-sink applications and bath fill. For showers, a dedicated shower mixing valve would be more appropriate.
What is the maximum pressure differential it can handle?
The valve operates at a maximum pressure differential of 10:1.
Troubleshooting
No hot water or cold water flow
Check that both the hot and cold water supplies are fully open and that there are no blockages in the inlet pipes.
Water temperature is inconsistent
Clean the serviceable filters. Ensure the pressure differential is within the 10:1 limit. Re-calibrate the temperature setting if necessary.
Valve is leaking from connections
Ensure all 22mm connections are securely tightened. Check for any damage to the pipes or fittings.
Low water flow rate
Clean the integrated serviceable filters. Check for any kinks or blockages in the outlet pipework.
Automatic shutoff engages unexpectedly
This indicates a failure in either the hot or cold water supply. Investigate the cause of the supply interruption.
