INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a quality Kohler product. To enjoy the full potential of your
new product, please take time to read this guide thoroughly, having done so, keep
it handy for future reference.
The Kohler Salute Thermostatic Mixer is a Thermostatic Shower Control with a
Single Sequential Knob for on/off and temperature control. It has been designed to
compliment the Kohler Salute Brassware range.
The Thermostatic Mixer incorporates a Wax Capsule Temperature Sensing Unit. This
provides an almost immediate response to changes in pressures or temperature of
the incoming water supplies to maintain the selected temperature. An adjustable
Maximum Temperature Stop is provided which limits the temperature to the desired
level. Inlet Filters are tted to protect the Thermostatic Cartridge.
The Kohler Salute Thermostatic Mixer is an exposed Shower Control for connection
to wall mounted or rear entry pipework at centres of 153 mm.
This product has been certied as a Type 2 valve under the BUILDCERT TMV2
scheme. This product also complies with the Water Supply (water ttings) Regulations
1999.

SPECIFICATIONS
For Type 2 Valves, the supply conditions specied in section: ‘Type 2 Valves Application’ take precedence over the operating parameters which follow.
Pressures
Maximum Static Pressure: 10 Bar.
Minimum Maintained Pressure (Gas Water Heater): 1.0 Bar.
(for optimum performance supplies should be nominally equal).
Minimum Maintained Pressure (Gravity System): 0.1 Bar.
(0.1 bar = 1 Metre head from base of cold tank to the outlet of the
shower handset).
Maximum Maintained Pressure: 5 Bar.
Temperatures
Factory Pre-set (Blend) Shower: 43°C.
Optimum Thermostatic Control Range: 35°C - 45°C.
(Achieved with supplies of 15°C cold, 65°C hot and nominally equal
pressures).
Maximum Hot Supply: 85°C.
Recommended Hot Supply: 60°C - 65°C.
Minimum Differential between Hot Supply and Outlet Temperature: 10°C.
Cold Water Range: 5°C - 25°C.
5
Thermostatic Shut-down
Thermostat will shut off Hot Supply Within 2 Seconds if Cold Supply Fails.
(Achieved only if the hot supply temperature is greater than 10°C above the set
blend temperature).

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Key to Symbols
Float Valve
Isolating Valve
Thermostatic Mixer
Overow Indicator
Pressure Reducing Valve
Twin Impeller Pump
Single Impeller Pump
Tempering Valve
Mini Expansion Vessel
The Kohler Salute Thermostatic Mixer is compatible with the following systems:
Gravity fed system
The Thermostatic Mixer MUST be fed from
a cold water cistern and hot water cylinder
providing nominally equal pressure.
Gas heated system
The Thermostatic Mixer MUST be installed
with a gas water heater or combination
boiler of a fully modulating design.
No te! We rec ommend the use of a
12 L/Min Outlet Flow Regulator (supplied).
However, it is possible following the
installation of the Flow Regulator that the
ow rate is reduced too much for the boiler
to ignite. If this is the case remove the ow
regulator.
7
Unvented mains pressure system
The Thermostatic Mixer can be installed
with a unvented, stored ho t wa t e r
cylinder.
Note! We recommend the use of a 12 L/Min
Outlet Flow Regulator (supplied).
Mains pressurised instantaneous hot
water system (thermal store)
The Thermostatic Mixer can be installed
with systems of this type with balanced
pressures.
Note! We recommend the use of a 12 L/Min
Outlet Flow Regulator (supplied).
Pumped system
The Thermostatic Mixer can be installed
with an inlet pump (twin impeller). The pump
must be installed on the oor next to the hot
water cylinder.
Note! We recommend the
use of a 12 L/Min Outlet
Flow Regulator (supplied).
