Setup and Installation
The hansgrohe DuoTurn E mixer is designed for flush-mounted wall installation, providing an ultra-flat design that maximizes space in your shower or bath area. Proper installation requires the hansgrohe iBox universal 2 basic kit.
Pre-Installation Checks

- Ensure hot and cold water supply lines are accessible and can be connected to the iBox.
- Verify that the wall cavity dimensions are sufficient for flush mounting the iBox and mixer.
- Ensure the operating pressure is within the recommended range of 1 to 10 bar.
Installation Steps (Overview)
- iBox Installation: Install the hansgrohe iBox universal 2 into the wall cavity according to its specific instructions. This component is the foundation for the mixer.
- Plumbing Connections: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the designated inlets on the iBox. Then, connect the outlets from the iBox to your two desired water consumers (e.g., overhead shower, hand shower, or bathtub spout).
- Mixer Assembly: Once the iBox is securely installed and plumbed, attach the functional block and the visible mixer unit (rosette and handles) to the iBox.
- Securing and Alignment: Secure the mounting material and rosette to the wall. The rosette can be adjusted by +/- 3° to ensure perfect alignment with your tiles or wall surface.
- Leak Test: Before sealing the wall or completing final finishes, perform a thorough leak test to ensure all connections are watertight.

Operating Instructions
The DuoTurn E mixer is designed for intuitive and precise control of water flow and temperature for two connected consumers.
Water Flow and Function Selection
The upper lever is used to control the water flow rate and to select between the two connected functions. Rotate the lever to increase or decrease the water flow. To switch between the two functions (e.g., an overhead shower and a hand shower), manipulate the lever as indicated by the installed button symbols. The mixer is supplied with various button symbols, such as "rain small", "rain large", "hand shower", "shower", and "tub", which can be applied to clearly identify the selected output.
Temperature Control
The lower handle allows for precise adjustment of the water temperature. Rotate this handle to achieve your desired temperature. The high-quality ceramic mixing system ensures smooth and accurate temperature adjustments, even with soapy hands.

Maintenance and Care

- Rinse Thoroughly: After cleaning, rinse the mixer thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual cleaning agents.
- Dry Surfaces: Dry the mixer with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its polished appearance.
- Internal Components: The ceramic mixing system is designed for long-term durability and smooth operation, requiring no user-serviceable internal maintenance.
