Application
Thermostat mixers are designed for use with hot water
supplied from pressurized storage heaters and offer the
highest temperature accuracy when used in this way. Given
sufficient output (min.18 kW or 250 kcal per min), electric or
gas-fired instantaneous heaters are also suitable.
Thermostat mixers cannot be used in conjunction with low-
pressure storage heaters (displacement water heaters).
All thermostat mixers are adjusted at the factory at a flow
pressure of 45 psi on both sides.
If temperature deviations should exist due to special
installation conditions, then the thermostat is to be adjusted to
the local conditions (see Adjustment).

At a flow pressure over 72.5 psi it is recommended that a
pressure reducing valve be fitted in the supply line.
Installation
Flush pipes thoroughly.
1. Install S-unions and attach the sleeve together with the
escutcheon, see fold-out page I, Fig. [1].
2. Screw-mount the mixer.
3. Push the sleeve with escutcheon onto the union nut.
4. Open isolating valves (X) and check connections for
leakage.
5. Screw the escutcheon flush against the wall.
Refer to the dimensional drawing on fold-out page I.
The projection can be increased by 30mm with an extension,
(see Replacement Parts, fold-out page II, Prod. no.: 46 238).
Reversed connection (hot on right - cold on left).
Replace thermostatic compact cartridge (P), see Replacement
parts, fold-out page II, Prod. no.: 47 175 (1/2").
When using this thermostatic compact cartridge,
the Cool Touch function is no longer available.
Adjusting
For temperature adjustment, see Figs. [2] and [3].
1. Open the shut-off valve and check the temperature of the
water with a thermometer, see Fig. [2].
2. Lever out cap (A), see Fig. [3].
3. Remove screw (B).
4. Detach temperature control handle (C).
5. Turn regulating nut (D) until the water temperature has
reached 100 °F.

English
6. Install temperature control handle (C) so that button (E)
points towards the front, see Fig. [2].
7. Screw in screw (B), see Fig. [3].
8. Refit cap (A).
Temperature limitation
The safety stop limits the temperature range to 100 °F.
The 100 °F limit can be overridden by pressing the button (E).
Adjusting the economy stop
Volume adjustment, see fold-out page I, Figs. [4] and [5].
• The flow rate is limited by a stop adjusted at the factory. If a
higher flow rate is desired, the stop can be overridden by
pressing the button (F), see Fig. [4].
To adjust the stop, proceed as follows:
1. Close shut-off valve.
2. Lever out cap (G).
7.25 psi
3. Remove screw (H) and detach shut-off handle (J).
14.5 psi
4. Remove splined adapter (K) and economy stop (L).
145 psi
5. Reinstall economy stop (L) in the desired position. For
14.5 psi - 72.5 psi
adjustment range, see Fig. [5].
232 psi
6. Fit splined adapter (K), see Fig. [4].
7. Fit shut-off handle (J) so that the button (F) points towards
the front.
8. Screw in screw (H).
176 °F
9. Refit cap (G).
70 - 115 °F
Prevention of frost damage
100 °F
When the domestic water system is drained, thermostats must
be drained separately, since non-return valves are installed in
the hot and cold water connections. For this purpose, the

mixer must be removed from the wall.

Maintenance
Inspect and clean all parts, replace if necessary and lubricate
with special valve grease.
Shut off cold and hot water supplies by closing both
isolation valves (X), see fold-out page III fig. [6].
I. Non-return valve (M) or (N), see fold-out page III, Fig. [7].
• Remove connection nipple (O) by turning clockwise (left-
hand thread) using a 12mm allen key.
Install in reverse order.
II. Thermostatic compact cartridge (P), see fold-out page III,
Fig. [8].
• Remove O-ring (R1).
• Loosen screw ring (R) using a 34mm tool.
• If necessary, lever out thermostatic compact cartridge (P)
via recess (P1).
• Remove screw ring (R).
Install in reverse order.
Observe the correct installation position of the
thermostatic compact cartridge (P) and scale ring (S), see
details Fig. [8].
Readjustment is necessary after every maintenance operation
on the thermostatic compact cartridge (see Adjusting).
III. Ceramic cartridge (T), see fold-out page III, Fig. [9].
Install in reverse order.
Replacement Parts, see fold-out pages II ( * = special
accessories).
