Pre - Installation Requirements
Water Pressure Requirement
As the bath requires a Thermostatic Mixing Valve, which has been manufactured to NHS
engineering specification D08, and approved under the TMV scheme, please read the
following which outlines how a TMV may affect the use of your bath.
The working parameters of the TMV require a water pressure of 1-5 bar with a maximum
pressure loss ratio of no greater than 10:1 between hot and cold feeds. The maximum bath
water temperature according to D08 is no higher than 43°C and the maximum for the
shower is 39°C.
It is important to note that a pressure difference between hot and cold pipes will have a great
effect on the time it takes to fill a bath, i.e;
Hot water 1.4 bar and Cold water 2.4 bar = Approx. 9min. to fill with 180 litres
Hot water 2.2 bar and Cold water 2.2 bar = Approx. 5min. to fill with 180 litres
If in doubt a pressure test should be carried out prior to installation of the bath, and if required
a booster pump or pressure reducing valve fitted, as required.
