Can I Use This Shower Mixer Tap ?

[tchandlerk]

Hi guys just wondering if you can help me out here. I need to know if i can use this shower mixer tap from argos with my water heater http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8320627/Trail/searchtext>SHOWER+MIXER.htm

The part i'm wondering about is "The water level in the storage tank should be at least 1m above the hand shower."

In my pic it shows that the top of the current taps to the bottom of the water heater is 97cm but from the taps to the middle underneath the water heater is 100cm

Heres the sticker with details about the water heater

Thanks in Advance

"The water level in the storage tank should be at least 1m above the hand shower."

This refers to the cold water tank if the mixer is fitted onto a low pressure supply.

What type of boiler is it?

I wouldn't think you will have pressure problems with that mixer as long as your hot supply is ok.

Hi

Has anyone noticed it's a 230 mains voltage immersion type heater? http://www.zipheaters.co.uk/pdfs/Specsheets/Zip RCH.pdf

Over a bath

Just looking for an IP rating..

Edit.. can't find any info on rating . I would treat it as dangerous and have it moved out of the bathroom.

Think you should post in the Electrics forum asking if these are allowed in zone 1.

Post your pic of the water heater in the electrics forum and see what they say.

Take a smaller picture of your boiler and put it in a new topic in the electrical forum.

That pic is too big and is spoiling the page layout.
