INTRODUCTION
T
his book contains all the necessary fitting and
operating instructions for your Triton high
pressure thermostatic mixer shower. Please read
them carefully.
Please read through the whole of this book
before beginning your installation.
T
he installation MUST be carried out by a
suitably competent person and in sequence of
this instruction book.
Care taken during the installation will give a long
and trouble free life from your mixer shower.
T
hermostatic mixers will automatically maintain
y
our chosen temperature, even if taps are turned
on elsewhere in the house, and shut off if either
the hot or cold supply fails.
For the best performance within the specified
running pressure range a minimum flow of
eight litres per minute should be available to
both inlets.
T
he mixer shower MUST NOT be subjected to
w
ater temperatures above 80°C.
T
his mixer is designed to operate on higher
pressure systems found in the UK up to a
maximum of 5 bar running pressure.
T
he high pressure valve is suitable for modulating
type combination boilers and multi-point hot
w
ater heaters. It is also suitable for thermal
storage, unvented systems and pumped gravity
systems.
IMPORTANT: Before installing with a gas
instantaneous water heater, make sure it is
capable of delivering hot water at a minimum
switch-on flow rate of 3 litres per minute. At
fl
ow rates between 3 and 8 litres per minute,
the appliance must be capable of raising the
w
ater temperature to a minimum of 52°C.
T
he water temperature at the inlet to the mixer
must remain relatively constant when flow rate
adjustments are made.
Inlet connections are by compression fittings for
15mm copper pipe.
T
his valve unit is supplied with a mounting
bracket to suit installation in a chased out cavity
in a solid wall, a stud partition wall, dry lined wall
or fixing to a shower cubicle or panel.
SAFETY WARNINGS
Layout and sizing of pipework MUST be such
that when other services are used, pressures
at the shower control inlets do not fall below
the recommended minimum.
DO NOT choose a position where the shower
could become frozen.
The outlet of this appliance MUST NOT be
connected to any form of tap or fitting not
recommended by the manufacturer.
The showerhead MUST be regularly cleaned
to remove scale and debris.
Conveniently situated isolating valves in each
inlet supply MUST be fitted as an
independent method of isolating the shower
should maintenance or servicing be necessary.
If it is intended to operate the shower in areas
of hard water (above 200 ppm temporary
hardness), a scale inhibitor may have to be
fitted. For advice on the Triton scale inhibitor,
please contact Customer Service.
Do not operate the shower outside the
guidelines as laid out in ‘site requirements’.

SITE REQUIREMENTS
The installation must be in accordance with
W
ater Regulations/Bylaws.
Minimum running water pressure: 1 bar.
Maximum running water pressure: 5 bar.
Maximum static water pressure: 10 bar.
For the best performance within the specified
pressure range both hot and cold water supplies
must be fed from a common supply and a
minimum flow of 8 litres per minute should be
available to both inlets.
W
hile the mixer valve is operational (open
outlet), inlet pressures MUST NOT be capable of
exceeding 7 bar. For effective operation of the
internal seals, the maximum static pressure must
not be exceeded.
Note: On sites where the running pressure is
above 5 bar, the use of a suitably sized pressure
reducing valve fitted in the cold mains supply
pipework can provide nominally equal pressures
at the mixer valve. This should be installed as
indicated on the appropriate diagrams shown on
the following pages, and set to within the
specification of the valve.
For the best performance of this shower both hot
and cold water supplies to the shower valve
should be fed at nominally equal pressures.
The pipework should be installed such that the
fl
ow is not significantly affected by other taps
and appliances being operated elsewhere on the
premises.
Note: Where thermal store/combi boilers or
multi-point heaters are used, if excessive draw
offs take place the boiler may not be able to
maintain an adequate output temperature. This
could result in the shower temperature becoming
noticeably cooler.
For effective thermostatic control the
temperature of the hot water entering the mixer
should remain a minimum of 10°C above the
selected output temperature.
The supply pipework must be flushed to clear
debris before connecting to the shower control
accordance with Water Regulations and Bylaws.
DO NOT use jointing compounds on the
pipework.

TYPICAL SUITABLEINSTALLATIONS
a) Instantaneous gas-heated showers,
e.g. combination boilers (fig.2)
The shower control MUST be installed with a
multipoint gas water heater or combination
boiler of a fully modulating design (i.e. where
the water draw-off rate indirectly controls the
gas flow to the burner). A drop tight pressure
reducing valve MUST be fitted if the supply
pressures exceed 5 bar maintained.
An expansion vessel (shown in fig.2) MUST be
fitted, and regularly maintained, to make sure
the unit is not damaged by excess pressures.
This may already be installed within the boiler
(check with manufacturer) and is in addition to
the normally larger central heating expansion
vessel.
The layout and sizing of pipework must be
such that nominally equal inlet supply pressures
are achieved and the effects of other draw-offs
are minimised. The hot supply temperature
MUST remain a minimum of 10°C hotter than
the required blend temperature for the best
performance.
b) Pump assisted gravity fed systems
(fig.3)
The pump MUST be fed from a cold water
cistern and hot water cylinder providing
nominally equal pressures. The pump must be
capable of maintaining a minimum running
pressure of 1 bar.
c) Unvented mains pressure showers
(fig.4)
The shower control can be installed with an
unvented, stored hot water cylinder.
For systems with no cold water take off after the
appliance reducing valve, it will be necessary to
fit an additional drop tight pressure reducing
valve when the mains pressure is over 5 bar. The
drop tight pressure reducing valve MUST be
set at the same value as the unvented package
pressure reducing valve.
Note: An additional expansion vessel (fig.4)
may be required if a second pressure reducing
valve is installed. This does not apply to

d) Mains pressurised thermal store
(fig.5)
Packages of this type, fitted with a tempering
valve (blender valve) can be used. A drop tight
pressure reducing valve MUST be fitted if the
supply pressures exceed 5 bar maintained.
An expansion vessel (shown in fig.5) MUST be
fitted, and regularly maintained, to make sure
the unit is not damaged by excess pressures. This
may already be installed externally or internally
within the thermal store (check with thermal store manufacturer).
The layout and sizing of pipework MUST be such
that nominally equal inlet supply pressures are

Place the valve housing centrally between the
two pipes, and mark the two diagonal fixing
holes (figs.9 and 10).
Remove the valve. Drill and plug the holes.
(The
wall plugs supplied are suitable for most brick walls
— use an appropriate masonry drill, but if wall is
plasterboard or a soft building block, you must use
suitable wal lplugs and an appropriate drill bit).
Fit the nut covers on to the pipes (fig.11).
Note: Slide the pipes into the small diameter
end of the nut cover. It will not fit if inserted
from the other end.
Slide the inlet nuts and olives onto the pipes,
followed by the inlet trims.
Note: The holes in the inlet trims are offset to
allow for adjustable inlet pipe separation widths.
If pipe centre separation is 153 mm or less, then
have the short side of the inlet trims between
the pipes. If the pipe separation gap is 153 mm
or greater, have the long side of the inlet trims
between the pipes (fig.12). If in any doubt try
the cover to see if it fits properly (i.e. no visible
gaps between the inlet trims and the cover —
fig.13). If there is a gap (fig.14) then reverse
the trim.
While trying the cover make sure the inlet nuts
are sitting in the holes in the inlet trim holes so
that the inlet trims are at the correct separation.
Having positioned the inlet trims correctly, refit
the valve to the pipework. Make sure the hot
inlet port (marked with the letter ‘H’ on the
valve housing) is connected to the hot pipework
which must be on the left.
Screw to the wall with the two screws supplied
(fig.15). Tighten the inlet nuts and inlet elbow
grub screws.
If installing a tamperproof fixed head, fit the
outlet adaptor into the top outlet hole in the
valve housing (fig.16). The adaptor is sealed
with an ‘O’ ring. Make sure the adaptor is fitted

Refit the valve to the mounting bracket/wall
surface and pipework (fig.32). Tighten the inlet
nuts and inlet elbow grub screws.
If fitting a fixed head, refer to the ‘Fitting the fixed head’ section and complete the outlet
pipework to the fixed head position.
Note: The outlet pipe for the fixed head should
protrude from the surface of the wall between
50 mm and 65 mm. Before fitting the fixed head
to the wall, connect a hose to the pipework and
direct to waste.
If fitting a riser rail kit, refer to ‘Fitting the bulkhead’ and complete outlet pipework.
Before fitting the bulkhead to the wall connect
the shower hose and direct it to waste.
Open the isolating valves to the shower and
flush through checking that the flow control
is opened fully and the temperature control
is rotated to ‘HOT’ and then to ‘COLD’ (if
necessary depress the maximum temperature
override button). Check for leaks and remedy if
necessary.
If a fixed head is installed, make good the outlet
pipe channel.
Note: If fitting a fixed head, the tiling around
the outlet pipe must be as tight as possible so
that the special lock washer will seat, otherwise
a larger diameter washer will have to be placed
behind the lock washer.
Make good the wall surface around the valve
and make sure the plastering/sealing is taken
tight to the PVC shroud (fig.33).
Should the shroud protrude beyond the wall
surface, trim flush with a sharp knife (fig.34).
Offer the flush mount plate up to the finished
tile surface and making sure the valve and plate
are aligned, mark the ‘arrowed’ fixing holes
(fig.35). Remove the flush mount plate then
drill and plug holes.
Break off the alignment tabs on the flush mount
plate (fig.36). Place a ring of silicon sealant
round the plate so that the plate seals against
the wall. Secure the plate to the wall using the

Hollow wall
The wall mounting bracket supplied with the
shower is suitable for use on a plasterboard wall
of 9.5 mm or 12.5 mm in thickness.
Decide on the shower position and whether
the hot and cold water supplies will enter the
shower from the top (falling), the bottom (rising) or the rear.
Mark an opening as shown plus the route of
inlet and outlet pipework (fig.39).
Note: The final separation between pipe
centres needs to be about 153 mm but absolute
accuracy is not essential as the inlet elbows are
adjustable between 146 mm and 160 mm.
Take out the plasterboard and offer the
mounting bracket up to the wall (fig.40). Mark
the outer fixing holes and drill. Insert the wall
bracket into wall cavity and secure using the
bolts and washers provided (fig.41).
If a fixed head is to be installed, the outlet
adaptor needs to be fitted into the top outlet
hole in the valve housing (fig.16). The adaptor
is sealed with an ‘O’ ring. Make sure the adaptor
is fitted with the hose end in the valve housing
(fig.17). Fit the blanking plug into the bottom
outlet hole using an ‘O’ ring to seal it.
If a bulkhead outlet is to be fitted, the outlet
adaptor needs to be fitted into the bottom

Starting the shower
To start the shower, turn the outer knob (flow
control) anti-clockwise (fig.74).
Adjusting the shower temperature
To adjust the temperature, turn the inner
knob — temperature control (fig.75). The
temperature disc is numbered for ease of use
and ranges from 1 (fully cold) to 10 (fully hot).
Once at the preferred temperature, no further
adjustment is required, providing the hot and
cold water supplies remain constant.
Stopping the shower
To stop the shower, turn the flow control
clockwise to the stop position (fig.76). This
automatically stops the water flow.
As a safety measure the shower has a builtin maximum temperature stop to prevent
accidentally exceeding the highest desired
temperature. The stop comes in a factory set
position. (If adjustment is required see ‘Adjusting the maximum temperature stop’ on page 26).
To override this stop, depress the button and
turn the control clockwise to the higher settings
(fig.77). To return to the normal temperature
range just turn the temperature control
anti-clockwise until it is past the maximum
temperature stop.
Make sure that the temperature control is in the
normal temperature range when the shower is
turned off.
As a safety measure the shower has a built-in
maximum temperature stop to prevent you
accidentally exceeding your highest desired
temperature. This is set in the factory to provide
a maximum temperature of 42°C based on the
hot and cold water supplies being 65°C and
15°C respectively at nominally equal pressures.
Procedure
To adjust the maximum temperature stop, first
rotate the temperature knob to the 12 o’clock
position.
Remove the temperature knob trim using a thin
bladed screwdriver (fig.78).
Unscrew the central fixing screw and remove
the temperature control knob (fig.79). Now
remove the temperature control disc, together
with the wavy washer. The control disc houses
the maximum temperature stop mechanism
(fig.80).
To increase the temperature stop setting,
reposition the temperature stop mechanism
clockwise within the arc of the grooves (fig.80).
To decrease the temperature stop setting,
reposition the stop mechanism anti-clockwise
within the arc of the grooves.
When the stop mechanism is set at the preferred
position, refit the temperature control disc
making sure the name ‘TRITON’ is at the bottom.
Replace the wavy washer, then refit the
temperature control knob, making sure it is
replaced in the same attitude as when removed
(i.e. 12 o’clock position).
Refit the central screw and replace the knob
trim.
IMPORTANT:
