The function of a thermostatic mixing valve is to deliver water
consistently at a safe temperature. In keeping with every other
mechanism, it cannot be considered as functionally infallible and
as such, cannot totally replace a supervisor’s vigilance where that
is necessary. Provided it is installed, commissioned, operated
and maintained within manufacturers recommendations, the
risk of failure, if not eliminated, is reduced to the minimum
achievable.

PLEASE observe the following To reduce the risk of injury:

 Suitable Plumbing Installations
The Thermostatic Mixer can be installed with all systems with balanced pressures.
Mixed gravity and mains supplies are not recommended.

Installation
Warning! This product does not allow for reversed inlets and will deliver
unstable temperatures if fitted incorrectly.

General
1. Installation of the shower must be carried out in accordance with these
instructions by qualified, competent personnel.
2. The plumbing installation must comply with all national or local water regulations
and all relevant building regulations, or any particular regulation or practice
specified by the local water supply company.
3. Make sure all pressures and temperatures comply with the requirements of the
shower. See ‘Specifications’. For Type 2 Valves, refer to supply conditions
given in the TMV2 Requirements Manual (this is available to view or
download from our website www.mirashowers.com).
4. Full bore/non restrictive servicing valves must be fitted in a readily accessible
position adjacent to the shower to facilitate maintenance of the shower.
DO NOT use a valve with a loose washer plate (jumper) as this can lead to a
build up of static pressure.
5. The product contains built in check valves. DO NOT install inlet check valves
as this can lead to a build up of static pressure and potential product damage
and leaking.
6. DO NOT apply excessive force to plumbing connections; always provide
mechanical support when making plumbing connections. Any soldered joints
should be made before connecting the shower.
7. Pipework dead-legs should be kept to a minimum.
8. DO NOT install the shower unit in a position where access for maintenance is
restricted.
9. The shower must be fitted to a waterproof, flat and even wall surface.
Decorative and mosaic tiles are not recommended in the area where the shower
is to be installed, as they may cause problems with sealing around the valve
and also effect product operation.
10. The wall cavity must provide sufficient support for the shower unit. The 4 cavity
fixing screws (No. 10 x 2”) and wall plugs supplied are suitable for most solid
wall and stud partition installations. Use all 4 fixing points to secure the shower
unit, be sure to use fixings appropriate for the chosen wall structure. The front
concealing plate must be fitted to a waterproof, flat and even wall surface.

1478624-W2-A 8
11. Position the shower unit where the controls are at a convenient height for the
user. Position the showerhead so that the water sprays in line with the bath or
across the opening of a shower cubicle. The installation must not cause the
shower hose to be kinked during normal use.
12. A suitable waterproof shower tanking adhesive is required for the fabric wall
seal supplied. We recommend a liquid based plumbing type to be applied with
a paint brush, available from tile / builder merchants. A sufficient amount is
required for coating the fabric seal twice during the installation.
13. The water supplies to this product should be isolated if the product is not to be
used for a long period of time. If the product or pipework is at risk of freezing
during this period they should also be drained of water.
14. The position of the shower and shower fittings must provide a minimum air
gap of 25 mm between the showerhead and the spill over level of any bath,
shower tray or basin. There must be a minimum distance of 30 mm between
the showerhead and the spill over lever of any toilet, bidet or other appliance
with a Fluid Category 5 backflow risk.

Note : There will be occasions when the hose retaining ring will not provide
a suitable solution for Fluid Category 3 installations. In these instances an
outlet double checkvalve must be fitted, this will increase the required
supply pressure typically by 10 kPa (0.1 bar). Double checkvalves fitted in
the inlet supply to the appliance cause a pressure build up, which affects
the maximum static inlet pressure for the appliance and must not be fitted.
For Fluid Category 5, double checkvalves are not suitable.

Fit one flow regulator per outlet!

We highly recommend the fitting of the flow regulator for optimum temperature control
and showering experience.
For maintained (running) water pressure greater than 1 bar, installing a flow regulator
can help to reduce:
• Excessive shower force
• Noise due to high or unequal water pressure
• Unstable supply temperature
• Cooler outlet temperatures due to the colder seasons (particularly with
combination boilers)
DO NOT fit a flow regulator if the maintained (running) water pressure is less than
1 bar or the shower force is too low.

Flow
Regulator

Deluge
Head

Fit one flow regulator per outlet!

We highly recommend the fitting of the flow regulator for optimum temperature control
and showering experience. Ensure the flow regulator is fitted in the orientation shown.
For maintained (running) water pressure greater than 1 bar, installing a flow regulator
can help to reduce:
• Excessive shower force
• Noise due to high or unequal water pressure
• Unstable supply temperature
• Cooler outlet temperatures due to the colder seasons
DO NOT fit a flow regulator if the maintained (running) water pressure is less than
1 bar or the shower force is too low.

Before turning water back ON, ensure the product is in the OFF position. Turn
product fully anticlockwise, then turn the water back ON.
Maximum Temperature Setting
Before using the shower, the maximum temperature must be checked to make sure
that it is at a safe level. It has been preset to a safe showering temperature under
ideal conditions at the factory, appropriate for most systems. However, site conditions
and personal preference may make it necessary to reset this temperature.
Note: Make sure that the hot water temperature is at least 55°C and that
there is sufficient supply.
Caution! Before making any adjustments to the shower, operate the temp
control from max hot to cold and make sure hot and cold water flows
correctly from the shower outlet. After making any adjustments repeat
this process.

1. Turn the temperature handle anticlockwise until it stops and test that the
temperature of the water from the shower outlet is hot enough.
2. If not, depress the override button and carefully rotate the handle further. If the
water temperature is still not hot enough complete the following procedure.
3. Rotate the temperature handle back to the override position.
4. Remove the handle by using the blade on the setting piece, place in between
the bottom of the handle and the shroud and twist to unclip the handle.

 Cleaning
Always read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for your shower.
Cleaning the showerhead
Many household and commercial cleaners, including hand and surface cleaning
wipes contain abrasive and chemical substances that can damage plastics, plating
and printing and should not be used. These finishes should be cleaned with a mild
washing up detergent or soap solution, and then wiped dry using a soft cloth.
De-scaling the Showerhead and inspecting the hose

It is IMPORTANT to keep the Showerhead and Hose clean and free

from blockage to make sure your shower performs to its optimum. The
showerhead MUST be regularly cleaned and the hose MUST be regularly
inspected to ensure there is no internal collapse or blockage that could
reduce the flow.

Unscrew the hose from Inspect the

soft nozzles.

Warning! Failure to keep the showerhead nozzles clear or inspect the hose
for blockage or internal/external collapse can restrict the flow rate from the
shower. This may cause damage to the shower or result in the temperature
delivered to the user rising to unsafe levels with a risk of scalding. You
MUST ALWAYS check the temperature before using the shower.

 Fault Diagnosis
If you require a Mira trained service engineer or agent, refer to ‘Customer Service’.

Symptom Cause / Rectification

Water too hot or too cold Inlets reversed (hot supply to cold supply).Rework inlet pipework.
Check filters for any blockage.
Check the maximum temperature setting (If you have a combination
type boiler it may not be producing sufficient hot water at the desired
flow rate). Fit a flow regulator to the shower valve outlet.
Installation conditions outside operating parameters. Refer to
Specifications and Commissioning.
Poor temperature control Make sure that the inlet temperature differentials are sufficient, refer
to ‘Specifications’.
If fitted to a combi boiler ensure there is sufficient pressure and flow
to deliver a constant hot water inlet supply.
Check the shower handset, hose and inlet filters for any blockage
and clean where necessary.
Fluctuating or reduced flow Check the shower handset, hose and filters for any blockage.
Make sure that the maintained inlet pressures are nominally
balanced and sufficient. Refer to Specifications.
Air lock or partial blockage in the pipework.
Check the button setting height.
Water leaking from the Normal for a short period after shut off.
shower handset/overhead Check that the pressures are not in excess of the specifications for
this product.
There may be occasions where the overhead shower or shower handset
empties for a while after the shower has been used, this is due to
changes in ambient temperatures and is normal. It is recommended
that all outlets are therefore enclosed within the water catchment area.
Check the button setting height.
LED light ring not coming on Check Inlet hot supply is above 55°C.
Check that the grommet is secured in position in the fixing plate.
