responsibility for problems that may occur through improper installation. Always ensure you have sufficient hot and
cold water pressure available to allow correct function before specifying or installing this product.

we may not be able to provide an identical replacement for the defective product throughout the warranty period.

- No other warranties, express or implied, are made, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
Under no circumstances shall the manufacturer be liable for any loss or damage arising from the purchase, use or

A solution of warm water and a mild liquid detergent may be used where necessary, and then the fitting rinsed
thoroughly and wiped dry. Any other cleaning action or cleaning products will invalidate your warranty.
If the product has a diffuser it can be unscrewed and cleaned periodically in warm water to maintain flow.
- Abrasive cleaners, scouring cleaners, limescale cleaners and acidic cleaners must not be used under any
circumstances. Avoid contact with all solvents (including chlorinated solvents, ketones or acetones as these may
result in surface deterioration or etching). Also avoid contact with any harsh household chemicals such as bleach
cleaners, drain cleaners, rust removers, paint strippers and toilet bowl cleaners, toothpaste, mouthwash, bar keepers
friend or Brasso.
After installation
- Once you have visually checked the installation of the new product and all connections, ensure that all other fittings
are closed except the new product which should be left open.
- Turn on your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is open. Reconnect both the hot and cold
water supplies to this fitting.
- Check the function of flow and function of hot, cold and mixed water.
- Turn off the product and check carefully for any leaks around all connections on the fitting and adjoining plumbing. If
possible return to the installation after a longer period to double check for slower leaks. If pressure testing equipment
is available check the installation to the maximum recommended pressure.

Technical information
Maximum operating pressure 5 bar*
Maximum hot water temperature 70°C*
Note: If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for short periods, damage can result. In these instances
a thermostatic mixing or pressure reducing valve should be installed before the product
- For manual mixing products we recommend the installation of a separate TMV2 product to reduce the risk of
accidental scalding.
- All thermostatic products should be tested and cleaned at least once a year.
- Hot and cold supply pressures should be as closely balanced as possible for best results. Supply pipes should
maintain the maximum diameter until immediately before the fitting. The differential between the hot and cold water
supply temperatures should be sufficient to allow correct mixing function.
- All Abode products are either WRAS approved or manufactured in accordance with recognised European standards.
Please ensure that your Abode product is fitted in accordance with Local Water Byelaws. Where hot and cold water
mix within any product, then suitable non return valves should be installed to the hot and cold supplies to prevent
backflow.
- Whilst assembling this product take care not to accidentally loosen any screwed assemblies. PTFE tape can be used
to ensure watertight joins on threaded connections, do not over tighten connections or allow pipes to be twisted or
folded.
- The installation should be periodically checked for damage, if the property is left unattended for a prolonged period
we recommend isolating water supplies.
