SCHELL fi ttings conform to the requirements of W 50930 Part 6 Materials (TrinkwV (drinking water ordinance) 2013/2001).
Installation instructions:
Assembly and installation may only be carried out by a licensed
professional company, in accordance with the EN 806.1 (DIN 1988-
200, VDI/ DVGW 6023).
When planning and setting up sanitary facilities, observe the
corresponding local, national and international standards and
regulations.
SCHELL fi ttings can only be applied in accordance with regulati-
ons. SCHELL fi ttings must only be used as intended.
The SCHELL "General installation conditions" at www.schell.eu
apply.
Make sure there is suffi cient allowance for dimensions in line with
DIN 1988 section 300 and EN 806-3. DIN 1988 section 100 (pro-
tection of drinking water; preservation of drinking water quality)
and EN 1717 (protection of drinking water against contaminants
in drinking water installations) are to be observed.
Water qualities:
SCHELL shower fi ttings are suitable for use in drinking water
systems, conforming with the 2011 updated German Drinking
Water Ordinance. Depending on the system, there are sensitive
parts within the fi ttings that need to be protected against dirt
particles and limescale deposits. If necessary, back-wash fi lters and
decalcifi cation systems are to be provided (water upwards of 10°
dH). Approval is needed to operate fi ttings with mineral waters
where their contents tend to fl occulate, or which are particularly
aggressive towards metal materials.
General installation instructions:
Use corrosion resistant pipe materials. Only seal threads with
permitted sealants (e.g. Tefl on tape or hemp). Do not exceed
standard torque!
Hygienic installation
During installation, avoid contact and contamination of the fi tting
components that carry the water.
Rarely used fi ttings:
Choose pipe routing that will not allow for stagnating water to
collect (ring installation). If necessary, provide fl ush valves behind
the fi ttings. If using after longer periods of non-operation, let the
water drain; see „German Environmental Agency" (Umweltbun-
desamt) recommendation.
Protection against legionella:
Provide fi ttings with integrated fl ush valve (SCHELL LINUS DP-C-T)
for thermal disinfection where there is a risk of high concentra-
tions of legionella or take other measures conforming with the
DVGW (German association for gas and water) worksheet W
551. Take particular care with installations for people with weak
immune systems.
Instructions for commissioning:
Prior to commissioning, all pipe lines are to be fl ushed in ac-
cordance with the ZVSHK (‚German Association for Sanitation,
Heating and Air Conditioning') worksheet, DIN 1988-200 and
DIN EN 806-4. Every fi tting is to undergo a pressure test af-
ter installation; where possible, perform the pressure test with
compressed air.
If the fi tting has been commissioned, ensure operation as intended
in accordance with DVGW / VDI 6023.
Fittings with thermostats:
Attention, risk of scalding!
After removing the locking disc and bridging the temperature
lock, scalding by hot water can occur. Install the locking disc
into systems in which the preset maximum temperature should
not be exceeded (children etc.)!
External installation:
ATTENTION! If there is a risk of frost, drain fi ttings, remove
functional components or permanently protect fi ttings with
thermal tape.
Maintenance instructions:
In accordance with DIN EN 806-5, the non-return valve is subject
to an annual function check. The function of the thermostats
should be carried out by the operating company at appropriate
intervals. Cleaning of the fi lter and possible decalcifi cation should
be carried out as necessary every 2 years, as given in the DIN EN
806-5 (for drinking water heaters).
Components of the fi ttings are subject to natural wear and, there-
fore, must be regularly maintained (cartridges).
Bacteria can collect in jet regulators and should be regularly clea-
ned or replaced.
Instructing the operator:
Instruct the operator in accordance with VDI 6023.
