Product Specifications

Design: VOXNAN
Designers: H Preutz/N Karlsson

Product Usage Instructions

Operating Conditions:

Designation of use: For optimal performance, ensure the following operating conditions are met:

Maximum static pressure
Minimum working pressure
Maximum working pressure
Recommended working pressure (hot & cold)
Max hot water temperature
Recommended hot water temperatures
Recommended cold water temperature
Flow rate (bath)

Additional tips:

Valves operating outside specified conditions may not function as intended.
Ensure balanced hot and cold water supply pressure.
To override safety stop temperature, press the override button.

Recommended Maximum Set Mixed Water Temperatures:

Application recommendations:

Bath
Shower
Bath/Shower

UK Installations (Type 2 Approved Valves):

For Type 2 approved valves in UK installations, follow additional installation, commissioning, and in-service test requirements as outlined in the Type 2 approved valves document available at www.IKEA.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use the valve outside the recommended operating conditions?
- A: It is not recommended as the valve may not operate as intended if used outside the specified conditions.
Q: How can I adjust the mixed water temperature settings?
- A: You can set the maximum mixed water temperatures for different applications such as bath, shower, or bath/shower by following the recommended guidelines provided in the manual.
Q: What should I do if I need to override the safety stop temperature?
- A: To override the safety stop temperature, simply press the override button on the valve.

OPERATING CONDITIONS

Designation of use: HP (high-pressure supply system)
Maximum static pressure: 10 bar (145 PSI)
Minimum working pressure: 0.5 bar (7.25 PSI)
Maximum working pressure 10 bar (145 PSI)
Recommended working pressure (hot & cold): 1 – 5 bar (14.5 – 72.5 PSI)
Max hot water temperature: 80 ˚C / 176 ˚F
Recommended hot water temperature: 60 – 65 ˚C / 140 – 149 ˚F
Recommended cold water temperature: 10 – 15 ˚C/ 50 – 59 ˚F
Flow rate (bath): 20 l/min (5 gpm) @ 3 bar (43.5 PSI)

Valves operating outside these conditions of use cannot be guaranteed to operate as Type 2 valves (intended operation not guaranteed).
If water supply is fed from a storage cistern by gravity then the supply pressure should be verified to ensure the conditions of use are appropriate for the valve.
Hot and cold supply pressure should be balanced.
The thermostatic mixer is pre-set to a safety stop temperature of 38 °C. Since operating conditions in each supply system varies, it might be necessary to calibrate the mixer according to the service and installation instructions.
You can override the safety stop temperature by pressing the override button. Recommended maximum set mixed water temperatures

Application Maximum outlet temperature
Bath: 44 °C / 111 ˚F
Shower: 41 °C / 106 ˚F
Bath/Shower: 41 °C / 106 ˚F

The maximum mixed water temperature can be 2°C above the recommended maximum set mixed water temperature. The mixed water temperature must never exceed 46°C. 46°C is the maximum mixed water temperature from the bath tap and takes account of allowable temperature tolerances inherent in thermostatic mixing valves and temperature losses in metal baths. It is not a safe bathing temperature for adults or children. 37°C is the maximum recommended temperature for children/babies under 18 months, 40°C is the maximum recommended temperature for adults/children over 18 months.

UK installations only

For Type 2 approved valves, additional installation, commissioning and in- service test requirements shall be followed. Refer to the Type 2 approved valves document available at www.IKEA.com.
