INSTALLATION
• Mixer: supply with cold water and hot water at 70°C maximum
(we recommend 45°C to avoid the risk of scalding).
• Pressure: 1 - 5 bar (100 - 500kPa), we recommend 3 bar (300kPa).
Maximum pressure differential at the inlets: 1 bar.
• Take care not to pinch the flexibles (Fig. E1).
REMEMBER
• Our mixers must be installed by professional installers in accordance with current regulations
and recommendations in your country, and the specifications of the fluid engineer.
• Sizing the pipes correctly will avoid problems of flow rate, pressure loss and water hammer
(see calculation table in our brochure and online at www.delabie.com).
• Protect the installation with filters, water hammer absorbers and pressure reducers to reduce
the frequency of maintenance (recommended pressure from 1 to 5 bar maximum).
• Install stopcocks close to the mixer to facilitate maintenance.
• The pipework, filters, non-return valves, stopcocks, bib taps, cartridge and all sanitary fittings
should be checked at least once a year, and more frequently if necessary.
MAINTENANCE
• Our mixers will withstand thermal and chemical shocks as described by current guidelines.
• Non-return valves and filters must be checked at least once a year and more often if the water quality
necessitates. In the event of malfunction, de-scale or replace worn or damaged parts.
• Across all mixers, the torque required to hold the cartridge in the mixer body should be
between 8 and 10 Nm to avoid leaks.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
• Cleaning chrome, aluminium and stainless steel: do not use abrasive, chlorine or any other
acid-based cleaning products. Clean with mild soapy water using a cloth or a sponge.
• Frost protection: drain the pipes and operate the mixer several times to drain any remaining water.
In the event of prolonged exposure to frost, we recommend taking the mechanisms apart and storing
them indoors.
