Technical Specifications
Specification | Value |
---|---|
Intended for: | HP (water system with high-pressure pump) |
Maximum static pressure: | 10 bars (145 PSI) |
Minimum working pressure: | 0.5 bars (7.25 PSI) |
Maximum working pressure: | 10 bars (145 PSI) |
Recommended working pressure (hot & cold): | 1 - 5 bars (14.5 - 72.5 PSI) |
Max. hot water temperature: | 80° C / 176° F |
Recommended hot water temperature: | 60 - 65° C / 140 - 149° F |
Recommended cold water temperature: | 10 - 15° C / 50 - 59° F |
Water flow (bath): | 20 l/min (5 gpm) @ 3 bars (43.5 PSI) |
Temperature Settings and Safety
Hot and cold supply pressure should be balanced.
The thermostatic mixer is pre-set to a safety stop temperature of 38°C. Calibration may be necessary depending on the supply system. The safety stop can be overridden by pressing the button.
Recommended Maximum Set Mixed Water Temperatures:
Area of use | Maximum outlet temperature |
---|---|
Bath: | 44° C / 111° F |
Shower: | 41° C / 106° F |
Bath/shower: | 41° C / 106° F |
Important Safety Note: The maximum water temperature can exceed the set temperature by over 2°C. The mixed water temperature must never exceed 46° C. This 46° C is not a safe bathing temperature for adults or children. For children under 18 months, the maximum recommended temperature is 37° C. For children/adults over 18 months, the maximum recommended temperature is 40° C.
