AXOR Montreux Thermostatic Shower Mixer

Product Description

The AXOR Montreux thermostatic shower mixer is a high-quality fixture designed for bathing and body cleansing. It features a precision thermostat that allows for consistent water temperature, enhanced by a safety function that can be pre-set to a maximum temperature, such as 42°C, to prevent scalding.

Safety Information

• Gloves should be worn during installation to prevent crushing and cutting injuries.
• The system is intended for bathing and hygienic purposes only.
• Individuals with physical, mental, or sensory impairments, as well as those under the influence of alcohol or drugs, should not use the system without supervision.
• Large pressure differences between hot and cold water supplies must be balanced.

Technical Data

• Operating pressure: max. 1 MPa
• Recommended operating pressure: 0.1 – 0.5 MPa
• Test pressure: 1.6 MPa
• Hot water temperature: max. 80°C
• Recommended hot water temperature: 65°C
• Flow rate at 0.3 MPa: approx. 26 l/min
• Equipped with non-return valves and anti-pollution function.

Installation and Adjustment

The fitting must be installed, flushed, and tested according to valid norms. After installation, the output temperature at the thermostat must be checked and adjusted if the measured temperature differs from the setting. The system includes a safety stop button to prevent accidental temperature increases.

Maintenance

To ensure smooth operation of the thermostat, it is recommended to turn the handle from total hot to total cold periodically. Non-return valves must be checked regularly according to national or regional regulations (at least once a year). During maintenance, check the filters on the MTC-thermoelement (A) for debris.

Troubleshooting

• Insufficient water: Check supply pressure, clean regulator filters, and clean shower filter seals.
• Crossflow: Clean or replace non-return valves if hot water is forced into the cold water pipe or vice versa.
• Temperature regulation not possible: Clean or replace the temperature regulator; ensure the basic body is correctly connected (cold right, hot left).
• Safety stop button not operating: Clean or replace the spring/button.
• Diverter stiff or leaking: Replace the cartridge or clean the valve seat.
