Abstract: A system is provided for mounting a mixing valve on a support surface to connect the mixing valve (101) to supply pipes (109, 111) projecting from the support surface. The system includes a mounting plate (103) for securing to the support surface so that the supply pipes (109, 111) pass through openings in the mounting plate (103). Sleeves (159, 161) fit over the projecting ends of the supply pipes (109, 111) for reception in inlets of the mixing valve (101) to thereby compress the sleeves (159, 161) to grip and retain the pipes (109, 111) in the inlets. The mixing valve (101) is releasably secured to the mounting plate (103) allowing the mixing valve (101) to be detached and the sleeves (159, 161) and mounting plate (103) to be removed from the pipes (109, 111).

Abstract: A mixing valve has a shuttle (108) movable between a hot seat (109) and a cold seat (110) for controlling outlet water temperature with the cold seat (110) being movable towards and away from the hot seat (109) for controlling the flow rate. A control handle (147) is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the mixing valve for adjusting the position of the shuttle (108) to set the outlet water temperature and is pivotal about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis for adjusting the position of the cold seat (109) to set the flow rate. The control handle (147) can be rotated and pivoted to control the temperature and flow rate independently of each other or in combination.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for attaching a tap to a mounting surface (13) has a clamping assembly inserted through an aperture (11) in the mounting surface (13) and tightened from above the mounting surface (13). The clamping assembly has a pair of clamping arms (25, 27) that are mounted for pivotal movement from a collapsed position for passage through the aperture (11) to an operative position below the mounting surface (11). The clamping arms (25, 27) are operable on tightening the clamping assembly to engage in a first stage an underside of the mounting surface (13) remote from the fluid delivery device and to engage in a second stage a sidewall of the aperture (11) when continuing tightening. Thus a step change in an operating force is required that provides feedback to an installer that a required clamping force has been archieved.

Abstract: A bath shower mixer (1) has inlets (7, 8) for hot and cold water, a bath fill outlet (6), a shower outlet (4), a rotatable control knob (12) for manual selection of the output water temperature and a control lever (13) for controlling flow of the output water to a selected one of the bath fill outlet (6) and shower outlet (4). The control lever (13) sets the maximum output water temperature selectable by the control knob (12) on selection of the outlet to provide a maximum output water temperature that is lower for showering than for bath filling.

Abstract: An ablutionary appliance such as a mixing valve has an actuator (102) that projects from a fascia (106) of a casing in an operative position in which the actuator (102) is manually rotatable to control the mixing valve. The actuator is retained in an inoperative position within the casing in which a front surface (104) of the actuator (102) is substantially flush with the fascia (106) and moves to the operative position when released. A blade formation (110) is pivotally mounted in the actuator (102) and extends from the side wall (108) of the actuator (102) in the operative position. The blade formation (110) enhances the user's grip of the actuator (102) in the operative position. The blade formation (110) is withdrawn into the actuator (102) when the actuator is returned to the inoperative position and is extended when the actuator moves to the operative position.
