Shower tower

INTRODUCTION
This book contains all the necessary fitting and
operating instructions for your Triton Shower
Tower manual mixer shower. Please read them
carefully.
Read through the whole of this book before
beginning your installation.
The shower installation must be carried out by a
suitably competent person and in sequence of
this instruction book.
Care taken during the installation will ensure a
long and trouble free life from your shower.
This shower tower is designed to operate on
the higher pressure systems found in the UK up
to a maximum of 6 bar running pressure.
The shower MUST NOT be subjected to water
temperatures above 80°C.
This mixer shower is suitable for fully
modulating type combination boilers and multi-
point hot water heaters. It is also suitable for
thermal storage, unvented systems and
pumped gravity systems.
Important: Before installing with a gas
instantaneous water heater, ensure it is
capable of delivering hot water at a
minimum switch-on flow rate of 3 litres per
minute. At flow rates between 3 and 8 litres
per minute, the appliance must be capable of
raising the water temperature to a minimum
of 52°C. Water temperature at the inlet to
the mixer must remain relatively constant
when flowrate adjustments are made (refer to
the water heater operating manual to confirm
compatibility with this shower tower).
This shower tower is supplied with an integral
single check valve and integral large area filter
in each inlet elbow. Inlet connections are by
braid hoses having 1/2” BSP unions.
SAFETY WARNINGS
a Layout and sizing of pipework must be such
that when other services are used, pressures
at the shower control inlets DO NOT fall
below the recommended minimum.
b DO NOT choose a position where the
shower could become frozen.
c DO NOT connect this mixer shower to any
form of tap or fitting not recommended by
the manufacturer.
d The sprayhead must be regularly cleaned to
remove scale and debris.
e Conveniently situated isolating valves in
each inlet supply must be fitted as an
independent method of isolating the
shower should maintenance or servicing be
necessary.
f If it is intended to operate the shower in
areas of hard water (above 200 ppm
temporary hardness), a scale inhibitor may
have to be fitted. For advice on the Triton
scale inhibitor, please contact Customer
Service.
g Do not operate the shower outside the
guidelines as laid out in ‘site requirements’.
Replacement parts can be ordered from Triton
Customer Service. See ‘spare parts’ for details
and part numbers.
Due to continuous improvement and updating,
specification may be altered without prior notice.
To ensure the product suitability for
commercial and multiple installations, please
