Introduction

The Colt product range includes an exposed or a concealed valve complete with an adjustable height shower head, as well as a concealed valve with a ceiling- mounted fixed head. Colt thermostatic valves provide close temperature stability and fail-safe protection on appropriate high and low-pressure systems. Please refer to the product specification section below.
If at any stage during installation you have any questions, please contact the Aqualisa customer helpline on 01959 560010 for assistance.

Safety information

This product must be installed by a competent person in accordance with all relevant current Water Supply Regulations.
THE SHOWER MUST NOT BE USED WITH A HOT WATER SUPPLY TEMPERATURE OVER 65ºC.
The Colt range is designed for domestic use only.
Product specification
Colt products are suitable for all gravity, boosted gravity, balanced high pressure, and combination boiler systems.
Pressure range 0.1bar – 10bar max (static).
The combination boiler MUST have a minimum rating of 24kW (80,000 Btu) and be of the type fitted with a fully modulating gas valve.
A cold inlet flow regulator is provided for use with combination boiler applications.
If in any doubt, please contact the appliance manufacturer before installation commences.

Connections

Colt products are designed for conventional supplies with HOT on the left and COLD on the right as viewed from the front.
Colt shower valves incorporate ‘push fit’ type connections for use with 15mm British standard copper tube. The tube should be cut using a rotary type cutter and lubricated using a silicone-based lubricant or petroleum jelly (Vaseline or similar) prior to insertion into the fitting.
If a plastic pipe is used, the tube insert must not increase the tube diameter or extend the cut-off length by more than 2mm.
THESE FITTINGS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR STAINLESS STEEL TUBES.
Supply lines must be flushed clear of any debris before the installation of the unit. Any debris accumulation in the shower valve and head may result in damage and poor performance.
Pipe sizing
Long pipe runs, on both inlet and outlet, will reduce the flow rate at the showerhead. If long pipe runs are unavoidable, use copper pipe rather than plastic. If plastic pipe is used, minimize the number of elbows as pipe inserts are very restrictive. Consideration should be given to using 22mm plastic or copper pipe especially if a diverter valve is to be fitted.
Flushing
Some modern fluxes can be extremely corrosive and, if left in contact, will attack the working parts of the unit. All soldering must be completed and the pipework thoroughly flushed out in accordance with current Water Supply Regulations prior to connection of the product.
Filters
To ensure ongoing optimum performance, the internal control mechanism ‘cartridge’ is protected by a two-part filter system. Debris accumulation may result in reduced flow from the showerhead and noisy operation.
As this condition is not covered by our standard warranty terms, it is suggested that the cartridge be removed and the filters checked by a competent person. In the event of any difficulties please contact the Aqualisa customer helpline for assistance.
Isolating valves
Suitable full way isolation valves must be fitted to both supplies in accordance with current Water Supply
Regulations and our terms of the warranty.
Due to their restrictive characteristics, stopcocks and ball-type valves that reduce the pipe bore size must not be used on gravity and boosted gravity installations.
Pressures
The Colt cartridge is designed to operate from the mains at a maximum of 10bar. If the mains pressure is likely to exceed 10bar, a ‘drop tight’ PRV must be fitted on the supply pipe after the main stopcock. A setting of 3bar is recommended. It should be noted that daytime pressures approaching 8bar can rise above the stated maximum overnight.
A suitable PRV is available from Aqualisa.
Colt products are not suitable for mixed supply systems, e.g. gravity hot and mains cold.
Gravity-fed hot and cold supplies
Services must be installed according to good plumbing practice having regard to pipe sizing, long pipe runs, and low head situations.
The cold supply for the valve assembly must be taken directly from the cold water storage system. The hot supply may be taken from the vent/draw-off pipe of the hot water cylinder at a point below the cylinder connection or alternatively from the underside of the horizontal draw-off.
Rising pipework must NOT be connected into the horizontal draw-off from the cylinder or to any point in the vent/draw-off pipe above the cylinder connection.
CYLINDER TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF 65°C MAY RESULT IN POOR SHOWER PERFORMANCE
To minimize pressure loss we recommend that the hot and cold supplies are run in 22mm as close as reasonably possible to the mixing valve before reducing to 15mm.
Siting
For optimum performance, with gravity-fed systems, the distance between the bottom of the storage cistern and the showerhead should be not less than 1m (when using an adjustable height head). If using a fixed head, the highest point of the pipework must be below the underside of the cistern.
Please refer to the typical system layout on page 7.
Pump installation
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST A PUMP BE FITTED DIRECTLY TO THE WATER MAIN
A pump must only be used to boost the pressure from tank-fed supplies.
A minimum 1 bar twin-ended booster pump is recommended.
ENSURE THE MINIMUM GRAVITY FLOW RATE IS SUFFICIENT TO OPERATE THE PUMP FLOW SWITCHES.
PLEASE REFER TO THE MANUFACTURERS PUMP INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR PUMP INSTALLATION INFORMATION.
Please refer to the typical system layout on page 7.
Stored water capacities
The minimum capacity of the cold storage cistern should be not less than 225 liters (50 gallons). The capacity of the hot cylinder must be capable of meeting the anticipated demand.
Combination boiler/multipoint system
Colt products are suitable for use with combination boiler systems. The combination boiler MUST have a minimum
rating of 24kW (80,000 Btu) and be of the type fitted with a fully modulating gas valve. This is sufficient to operate
one outlet at a time.
If in any doubt, please contact the appliance manufacturer before installation commences.
The cold supply can be taken from the nearest convenient mains supply and the hot supply can be taken from the nearest hot water draw-off point. Account must be taken of the pressure drops that will occur when other draw-off points are used while the shower is in use.
Please refer to the typical system layout on page 8.
Balanced high-pressure system
The cold water supply must be drawn from the same main supply as that to the hot water system (downstream of the cylinder manufacturer’s pressure limiting valve, where supplied) and the hot supply from the nearest convenient draw-off point. Account must be taken of pressure drops that may occur when other draw- off points are used while the shower is in use.
Please refer to the typical system layout on page 8.

In addition to the guide below it is essential that the written instructions overleaf are read and understood and that you have all the necessary components (shown on page 9) before commencing installation. Failure to install the product in accordance with these instructions may adversely affect the warranty terms and conditions. Do not undertake any part of this installation unless you are competent to do so. Prior to starting ensure that you are familiar with the necessary plumbing regulations required to install the product correctly and safely.
Colt concealed is supplied with universal fixings.

1. If installing the product built into a solid wall, chase out a suitable recess in the wall to receive the valve and pipework. If installing the valve in a concealed panel-mounted situation, in most cases it will be necessary to first install a suitable sound fixing in the cavity area before fixing the valve. A hole of Ø130mm is required to install the valve and gain access to inlet and outlet connectors.
   The valve needs to be mounted to the depth shown at the following centers.
   The distance between the 15mm inlet center pipe centers is 150mm as shown.
   

2. Mark the position for the four fixing points as outlined above.

3. Carefully remove the valve from its packaging and retain the mortar guard for later use.

4. Set the temperature control lever to full cold (9 o’clock) prior to removing the four screws securing the lever to the valve. Carefully remove the temperature lever to reveal the red temperature preset override ring and the white temperature preset location ring. Neither of these parts needs to be removed for installation. However, if they are removed please take a note of their orientation on the valve prior to removal (as illustrated).

5. Carefully remove the shroud from the valve assembly.

6. Fit the elbows to the valve body hand tight, ensuring that the rubber washers are correctly engaged (these are supplied in the screw pack).

7. If the valve is being installed for use with a gas-fired instantaneous (multipoint) water heater or a combination boiler, the cold water flow regulator must be fitted at this stage by insertion into the cold water port as shown, ensuring the O’ring faces the incoming flow (the flow regulator is supplied in its own pack).
   

8. The Colt valve is supplied with an outlet cap on the bottom of the valve allowing for a top outlet connection. The bottom outlet can be used by simply removing the cap and repositioning it on the top outlet. If the cap is removed please ensure that when replaced the membrane in the cap is in place and that the cap is done uptight.

9. Fit the outlet connector ensuring the rubber washer is correctly engaged (supplied in the screwback), on the required outlet ensuring a tight fit. Offer the valve up to the required fixing position to check the four fixing points are correct and there is adequate space available around both the inlet elbows and outlet connector. Prepare the wall fixings as required.
   

10. Using a silicone-based lubricant, lubricate the supply pipe ends, and whilst supporting the elbows, push home the supply pipes ensuring the correct orientation for the inlet pipes (HOT LEFT AND COLD RIGHT AS SHOWN ON THE VALVE BODY). Push the valve fully home until a definite stop is reached (tube insertion depth is 25mm). Secure the valve assembly to the fixing surface using the screws provided.
    

11. Construct a suitable 15mm outlet supply. The Aqualisa adjustable height head will need a 15mm outlet supply to a suitable point for the wall outlet.
    For the ceiling mount head, run a 15mm outlet pipe from the valve to the preferred position for the fixed head, terminating in a suitable 22mm compression fitting.
    

12. Using a suitable tool, tighten both the elbow nuts and outlet connector nut until watertight.

13. The installation may now be checked for leaks. Push the on/off knob onto the front of the valve fully home and turn the knob fully clockwise to ensure the valve is fully turned off.
    

14. Turn on the supplies and check for any leaks upstream of the valve. Slowly open the control and check for leaks downstream of the valve. If all is sound, turn off the on/off knob fully, turn off the supplies and remove the on/off knob.

15. Place the mortar guard around the valve and fill in the chase. Once the in-filling material has been set, carefully remove the polystyrene to expose the valve body.
    THE MORTAR GUARD MUST BE USED
    

16. Refit the red temperature preset override ring and the white temperature preset location ring if removed prior to installation, taking care to fit the override ring in the correct orientation as outlined in step 4. Before replacing the shroud, ensure the shroud seal is in position as indicated.
    

17. Replace the shroud ensuring that it is fully fitted against the shroud support ring as shown.

18. Using a silicone-based lubricant or liquid soap, lubricate the wall plate seal. Apply a thin bead of silicone mastic into the groove on the rear of the wall plate and carefully push the wall plate into position flush with the wall ensuring correct orientation of the temperature markings.

    ---

19. Depress the maximum temperature stop button and replace the temperature lever onto the valve in the full cold (9 o’clock) position. Replace the four screws to secure the lever to the valve hand tight only.
    

20. Push the on/off knob onto the valve fully home. The two-finger scallops should be uppermost when the valve is fully off. Locate the on/off knob faceplate into position and secure using the small screw provided.

21. After checking that the badge recess in the on/off knob is clean, dry, and free of dust, remove the paper backing from the badge a push firmly into position.

Failure to install the product in accordance with these instructions may adversely affect the warranty terms and conditions. Do not undertake any part of this installation unless you are competent to do so. Prior to starting ensure that you are familiar with the necessary plumbing regulations required to install the product correctly and safely.
Colt exposed is supplied with universal fixings.

1. In most cases for hollow wall fixing it will be necessary to first install a suitable sound fixing surface within the cavity area before fixing the valve. Mark out the position of the pipe work entry points using the template provided. The 15mm supplies must emerge from the wall at right angles at 150mm pipe centers.
   The template may also be temporarily secured to the wall to ensure correct orientation of the pipework during making good if required.

2. After making good, using the template, mark and prepare the four fixing points as outlined above.
   IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE WALL SURFACE IS FLAT AND EVEN TO AVOID DISTORTION OF THE SHOWER BACKPLATE.

3. Remove the fixing screw from the center of the valve fascia and carefully lift the upper shroud assembly clear from the backplate.
   

4. Remove the two fixing screws to release the lower shroud assembly from the backplate. Carefully remove and set aside.
   

5. Remove the gripper ring assembly from the rear of the backplate and ensure correct alignment of the gripper rings, slide over the projecting pipes flush to the wall face. Cut the supply pipes to their finished length (18mm – 21mm) using a rotary type cutter.
   

6. Briefly run the hot and cold supplies to flush out any debris that may be present in the system.

7. If the valve is being installed for use with a gas-fired instantaneous (multipoint) water heater or a combination boiler, the cold water flow regulator must be fitted at this stage by insertion into the cold water port.
   (The flow regulator is supplied in its own pack).
   Remove the four cartridge fixing screws and carefully detach the cartridge assembly from the backplate. Fit the flow regulator into the cold port fully home, with the central O’ring facing the incoming flow. A small length of 15mm pipe may be used to facilitate the installation of this regulator. Refit the cartridge to the backplate using the four fixing screws ensuring the hot and cold markings on the cartridge are uppermost.

8. Run a thin bead of silicone sealant in the mastic groove of the backplate. Using a silicone-based lubricant, lubricate the projecting pipe ends before carefully pushing the shower valve into position fully home. Secure using the screws provided.
   

9. Refit the lower shroud by locating the lugs into the backplate and moving the shroud into position. Align the fixing screws with the screw holes, and fix into place ensuring not to overtighten the fixing screws.

10. The installation may now be checked for leaks. Turn the on/off knob (left-hand knob) fully forwards to ensure the valve is fully turned off. Attach the shower hose to the ⁄÷™ ” BSP outlet on the underside of the valve to allow the water to discharge safely to waste.

11. Turn on the supplies and check for any leaks upstream of the valve. Slowly open the on/off control and check for leaks downstream of the valve. If all is sound, turn off the on/off knob fully and turn off the supplies.

12. Refit the upper shroud assembly by locating the lugs into the backplate and moving the shroud down into position. Fix using the centrally located locking screw taking care not to overtighten.

Cleaning & maintenance

Once a week, with the shower valve fully open we recommend turning the temperature control lever from full cold through to full hot several times to activate the internal valve anti scale mechanism.
Your Colt shower system should be cleaned using only a soft cloth and washing up liquid.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.
To reduce the need for chemical descaling in hard water areas, your shower head incorporates a ‘clear flow’ system, whereby any scale build-up can be broken down by gently rubbing the flexible tips of the jets during use.
This procedure should be completed regularly, as often as once a week in some hard water areas, as scale build-up can affect the spray pattern and cause the shower to perform poorly. Failure to descale the showerhead can affect the internal seals and may affect the warranty.
Should chemical descaling of the head become necessary, remove the showerhead fully and immerse in a mild proprietary descent.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT DESCALING IS CARRIED OUT STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS. SUBSTANCES THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR PLASTICS AND ELECTROPLATED SURFACES MUST NOT BE USED.
