Installation Re uirements

Plumbing

1. The appliance is designed to operate with a minimum aintained inlet pressure

of 0.7 bar up to a axi u static inlet pressure of 10 bar.

2. The appliance is normally connected to the cold water mains-fed supply.However,

thewatersupply canbetaken fromacold waterstoragecistern, providedthereis a

minimummaintainedinlet headof waterof 7 metres (the vertical distancefrom the

base of the cold water storage cistern to the shower fitting handset). To reduce

pressurelossesandfluctuations, the cistern-fedwatersupply must beindependent

from other supply draw-offs, and should avoid long horizontal pipe runs and use

sweptbends rather than90° elbows.

3. The appliance is suitable for installation within the shower area. It is fitted with a

pressurereliefdevice and mustbepositioned overawater catchment areawiththe

controls at a convenient height for the user.

4. Theappliance is fittedwith a plasticinlet connectorintendedto connectto a 15mm

compression fitting supplied from the top, bottom or back.

5. Do not fit the appliance to the wall and tile up to the case.The appliance must be

fitted onto a finished flat and even wall surface.This is important as difficulty may

beencounteredwhenfittingthecoverandsubsequentoperationoftheunitcouldbe

impaired (small pillars moulded on to the back of the case allow air circulation).

6. Refrainfromapplyingexcessiveforcewhenmakinganyconnections.Alwaysprovide

mechanicalsupportwhenmaking the plumbing connections.

7. Do not install the appliance in a position where it ay beco e frozen. The

shower unit must not be fitted where it may be exposed to freezing conditions.The

shower unit must not be used if suspected of being frozen.

8. We recommend that a non-restrictive (free flowing) isolating valve is fitted in the

coldwater supply pipeto allow thecomplete maintenanceof the appliance. Do not

useavalvewith aloosewasherplate (jumper)asthiscan leadtoabuild up ofstatic

pressure.

9. Toavoiddamagetothecasewhensolderedfittingsareused,pre-solderthepipework

and fittings before connecting them to the inlet stub.

10. The appliance is fitted with a ½ " BSP male outlet thread, to accept a Mira shower

hose.

11. SupplypipeworkMUST be flushedto clear debrisbeforeconnecting the appliance.

12. Wheninstalledinvery hardwaterareas(above 200 ppmtemporaryhardness) your

installer may advise the installation of a water treatment device, to reduce the

effects of limescale formation. Appliance malfunction due to excessive limescale

formationisnotcoveredbythemanufacturer’s guarantee.Yourlocalwatercompany

will be able to advise the hardness of water in your area.

13. A hose retaining ring is supplied to prevent the handset from dropping below the

spillover level of the bath or shower, which could lead to contamination from back-

siphonage(referto Figure 1).Thesuppliedhoseretainingringshouldmeetthegreat

majority of user requirements for shower installations with flexible outlet fittings.

However, there will be occasions when the hose retaining ring will not provide a

suitable solution. In these instances an outlet double checkvalve, e.g. the Mira

DCV-H, ust be fitted.The inclusion of the Mira DCV-H will increase the required

supply pressure typically by 0.1 bar.

Double checkvalves, fitted in the inlet supply to the appliance, cause a pressure

build-up, which could exceed the maximum static inlet pressure for the appliance.

14. Waterflowcanbeobtainedwithout theelectricalpowerbeingconnected.Thisallows

the plumbing connections to be tested prior to final connection of the electrical

supply.

15. Avoid layouts where the shower hose will be sharply kinked.This may reduce the

life of the hose.
