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.
