Limitations of Use

The Mira Minilite should not be used for applications where an outlet flow control forms part of the shower fitting.

Application

Mira Minilite is suitable for installation as part of the following plumbing systems:

Gravity fed
Fully modulating instantaneous gas heated
Mains pressurised (heated from a thermal store)
Unvented mains pressure
Pumped

*When the Mira Minilite is used with mains pressure appliances at pressures above 5 bar maintained, a drop-tight pressure reducing valve must be installed to maintain performance.

Supply Conditions

Recommended hot inlet supply temperature 55-65^oC
Maximum hot temperature 85^oC (maximum recommended is 65^oC Ref BS6700)
Recommended cold temperature 5-25^oC
Minimum cold temperature 1^oC
Hot and cold supplies to be at a nominally equal pressure
Min maintained pressure 0.1 bar (1m to showerhead).
Max maintained 5.0 bar
Max static 10.0 bar

Performance

The specification performance outlined below is achieved with inlet water supply temperatures of 15^oC cold and 65^oC hot, and nominally equal inlet supply pressures:

Temperature selectable range : full cold to preset maximum (factory set is 43^oC) but can be easily reset depending on site conditions
The blended water temperature is maintained within 2^oC with a 10^oC change in either the hot or cold supply temperatures
Shutdown in typically two seconds if either the hot or cold supply fails provided the hot supply is more than 12^oC above the blend temperature.
The blended water is maintained within a 2^oC range, when the pressure of either supply is reduced by 50% (0.5 bar maintained)
For high pressure supplies a 12l min / flow regulator (supplied) should be fitted to the outlet

Accessories

Optional DCV-H: outlet double check valve for use with pressures above 0.2 bar is available, providing an alternative method of complying with Water Regulations

Universal retrofit kit with adjusting elbows, designed to allow the thermostatic mixer to accept pipework centres between 133mm - 153mm and a mounting plate designed to hide the majority of previous valve screw holes.

Guarantee

Guaranteed for three years from date of purchase against faulty materials or workmanship.

Maintenance

This product is designed to be maintenance free apart from inlet filters which should be cleaned regularly
