2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS<br />

4. ADJUSTING MAXIMUM HOT TEMPERATURE LIMIT<br />

This mixer is factory pre-set to a maximum hot temperature of 50°C.<br />

RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURES<br />

Minimum Hot & Cold Supply<br />

70kPa (10psi)<br />

Maximum Hot & Cold Supply<br />

500kPa (72.5psi)<br />

This mixer will function with pressures as low as 36kPa and as high as 700 kPa,<br />

but for the best results,<br />

a minimum of 70kPa and a maximum of 500kPa supply pressure is recommended.<br />

If the pre-set maximum hot temperature is unsuitable for the installation, i.e. too hot or too<br />

cold, adjust the maximum hot temperature limit as below:<br />

4.1 Remove grub screw cover and loosen grub screw on temperature control knob, but<br />

leave the temperature control knob on.<br />

4.2 Turn the mixer on, set to full hot and test the water temperature.<br />

4.3 Carefully slide the temperature control knob approximately 3mm out towards you,<br />

without fully removing it from the spline. This allows the temperature control knob<br />

to be disengaged from the current maximum hot temperature limit stop, and to be<br />

adjustable to your desired maximum hot temperature limit.<br />

4.4 Turn the partially removed temperature control knob until desired maximum hot<br />

temperature is achieved. (Turn anti-clockwise to increase maximum hot temperature,<br />

turn clockwise to decrease maximum hot temperature)<br />

4.5 Remove handle fully and re-fit it on the splines so that the temperature control<br />

lever is pointing to the very end of the red indicator line (indicating the maximum<br />

hot temperature). The temperature control knob should now be engaged with the<br />

maximum hot temperature limit stop, at your desired maximum hot temperature<br />

limit.<br />

4.6 Test the water temperature again.<br />

RECOMMENDED OPERATING TEMPERATURES<br />

4.7 If the desired maximum hot temperature limit has not been achieved, repeat steps<br />

4.4 to 4.6.<br />

4.8 Tighten grub screw on temperature control knob and re-fit grub screw cover.<br />

3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION<br />

This mixer operates without modification, on all water pressure systems, normally found in<br />

New Zealand homes (i.e. equal low, unequal and equal high/mains pressure).<br />

IMPORTANT<br />

Leave protective cover on mixer until all plastering, painting and<br />

finish work is completed.<br />

3.1 Using the four 8g x 32mm screws supplied, screw the mixer body to the stud/nog<br />

or other secure mounting surface, between 60mm - 100mm from the front surface<br />

of the shower wall lining. It is recommended that the mixer is fitted at approximately<br />

1.1 metres from the shower floor, in an easily accessible position.<br />

3.2 This mixer is designed to be connected with the hot water supply on the left side<br />

and the cold water supply on the right. If the supply pipes are opposite to normal,<br />

the mixer can be turned upside down to allow the hot and cold inlets to be plumbed<br />

as indicated on the mixer body. A specially marked inner faceplate is available for<br />

these installations.<br />

Pipework must be purged before connecting to the mixer.<br />

3.3 Connect hot and cold water supply pipes and feeder pipe to desired outlet position.<br />

Fit cap nut supplied to unused outlet.<br />

3.4 Test connections for leaks. The mixer can be tested at 1500kPa line pressure for<br />

short periods.<br />

3.5 Cut an 80mm - 85mm diameter hole in the wall lining in the desired position.<br />

3.6 Fit self adhesive rubber seal (included in pack) against circular extrusion on rear of<br />

faceplate. (see the instruction on rear of faceplate)<br />

3.7 Cut out water drain notch in desired position on back of faceplate.<br />

3.8 Fit the faceplate assembly over the SmartFlow mixer and slide it onto the wall.<br />

Silicone sealant may be necessary on outer edge of the faceplate when fitting.<br />

3.9 Firmly press the faceplate assembly against the wall and tighten ALL 4 SCREWS on<br />

the inner circle of the faceplate – this will act as a seal for the mixer.<br />

3.10 Fit the inner faceplate over the top, pressing it firmly into place. Ensure the drain slot<br />

is at the bottom in the 6 o’clock position.<br />

3.11 Ensure that the black felt pen lines on the cartridge and brass spline are aligned.<br />

3.12 Fit flow control handle.<br />

3.13 Fit temperature control knob, ensuring that the temperature and flow levers are<br />

aligned as per drawings on the next page.<br />
