The norm that at present rules the installation of bathrooms for less able people refers substantially to DM 236/89 as regards private and residential buildings and to DPR 503/93 for public buildings, spaces and services.
For some other details on the present norms you can download from our website (download area) the PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DESIGN or you can take a look at I on line in the section named BROWSE THE CATALOGUES (Saniline catalogue).
Because the supports will be installed on walls very different one from the other (bricks, concrete, plasterboard etc.). The plumber or the qualified staff will therefore choose the type of fittings more suitable to grant to the support the maximum load capacity and consequently the maximum of safety. Some indicative instructions can be downloaded from our website with our PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DESGIN or you can take a look at it on line from the section named BROWSE THE CATALOGUES (Saniline catalogue)

The WC with bidet function are the same sanitaryware for disable people, that have a connection installed supplying a jet of water within the bowl. The water flow must be regulated by a mixer (preferably a thermostatic one) that must be purchased separately and that feeds a connection (supplied with the toilet) through a flexible.
A toilet for the disabled must be installed according to the laws currently in force (DPR 503/96), it must be installed at a height from floor between 45 and 50 cm. Also, the front of the bowl must be within 75 to 80 cm. This distance is observed in the bowls named “monobloc” or with the building of a wall in the back of the bowl to recover the distance missing to comply with the existing law.
The upper surface of the washbasin should be placed at 80 cm. from the floor. For the discharge, we recommend to use a flexible siphon; the position of feeding and discharges is a standard one.
Among Thermomat washbasins art. 406 and art. 426 can be attached directly to the wall, while art.400 and 400-EA need brackets (fixed, manual or pneumatic).
The shower seats must be installed with the seat height from ground between 45 and 50 cm. In the case of the hanging seat (named SDA), when the support is installed at 80 cm., as according to the law, the seat will find itself at a height between 45 and 50 cm.
The types of wall supports in the catalogue are very different one from the other both for material, functionality and design: painted series: zinc coated and painted steel pipe. It is the most traditional series, the one you can find in whatever environment (public and private) where there is a special bathroom. It grants stability, it is easily cleaned and it lasts long.
soft series: zinc coated and painted steel pipe subsequently subject to Thermosoft treatment (Thermomat patent). The evolution of the traditional support, with a 120% higher certified grip compared to the painted series. To the touch the support results smooth, warm and soft
nylon series: the internal part is in aluminium and it is covered in nylon. Completely PVC free. This material is auto-extinguishing (according to UL94-HBe V2).
inox series: supports realized in AISI 304 polished stainless steel pipe (32 mm. diam.). Plate and ring in AISI 304 stainless steel
style series: realized in brass pipe (28 mm. diam.) polished and chrome plated. Fixed to the wall without any plate and ring: ideal for all those environment where you want to grant safety but where elegance and style cannot be missed.
In general, the maximum load for Thermomat support or device with a CE marking is 150 kg. for painted steel series and stainless steel series; while the load is 120 kg for the supports of the nylon series. This rule applies to all devices, grabbars, grab rails and shower seats. This assumption must be followed by the wall fixing system of the device, which must be chosen and designed so that the maximum load is tolerable. Inside the box of every product there is a leaflet form which you can get information on how to use the correct wall fixings. In addition, the technical sheets of individual products state the declared load.
No, they cannot because modular handrails can only be used as a handrail and cannot be used as a support for disabled people. In addition, they have no certifications and have no declared load to which they are tested to resist.
Coded items cannot be modified but, after a pre-verification of the feasibility by the Technical Office, made-to-measure supports can be realized in the steel painted series, soft series and nylon series, using the codes of the MADE TO MEASURE supports (CSM-I, CSMAG-I, CSM-SF, CSMD-NY, CSMC-NY, CSMAG-NY). Different articles cannot be “composed”using single pieces of the nylon series.
For more details on the codes you can take a look at the Saniline catalogue (section HANDBARS AND HANDRAILS).
They are faucets that supply water at a constant temperature, where the pre-mixing is done with a small thermostatic mixing valve or a mechanical valve before entering the tap itself. In these devices the user can not change the water temperature for safety or comfort reasons.
Yes, a thermostatic cartridge and a thermostatic mixing valve can be reset. It is necessary to check temperatures, pressures and flow inlets and outlet temperature. You rotate the handle until you have on the outlet the set temperature, at this point, unscrew the screw on the knob, remove it and assemble it the same knob again by matching the appropriate number of scale with the index on the collar. The inlet pressure should be 3 bars, temperatures of 15 ° C (cold) and 65 ° C (hot). For the thermostatic cartridges you bring the water temperature at 38 ° C and fix the knob with the number 38 matching the index. For thermostatic mixers it is necessary to verify the technical data and the specifications of the product itself.
Hard water can create scale be and deposits that tend to block the cartridge. In this case it can be removed from the tap (closing water first) and cleaned in a bath of vinegar or vinegar and water for several hours, shaking it from time to time to dissolve calcium deposits, or it can be replaced with a new one.
For the correct operation of a thermostatic mixing valve it is necessary that the temperatures, flow rates and inlet pressures are adequate (cold water at 15 ° C, hot water at 65 ° C, 3 bar pressure, flow rates depending on the product). Verify that the check valves on the inlets are free and fully functional. If not, replace them. Check that the filters are clean. In industrial thermostatic mixing valves components can not be replaced. In mixer with thermostatic cartridge the cartridge can be removed and cleaned in a bath of vinegar or vinegar and water for several hours shaking it from time to time to dissolve calcium deposits. If the knob is hard to rotate the problem is probably hard limestone scale. If setting the handle to 38 ° C, you obtain a given quantity of water, and turning the knob to hot both the temperature and the extent of increase are small, maybe the inlet of the hot water is choked; it has a similar effect in case of choked cold water inlet. If the outlet temperature is different from the one set despite having the correct inputs or if the knob was unscrewed, the cartridge shall be recalibrated.
The diverter valves and the solar kits are used in all applications where you want to divert the flow of the fluid as a function of instantaneous temperature owned. They are particularly useful in solar thermal plants as resistant to high temperatures. In specification sheets and instructions there are diagrams and technical data for proper use.
The Italian Decreto del Ministero dei Lavori Pubblici 14.6.1989 nr. 236 declares that the lever-operated taps should be preferred, but there are no specific regulations on either the shape or the material of the levers themselves.
Just pushing the RESET button. Or, without the use of a remote control, with a short-circuit of the sensor wires taking care not to “shadow” the sensor for at least 10 seconds. Only in the case of auto-regulating sensors (as per RUEL07 model) and for 13-button remote controls you can press ADJ instead of RESET.
VS003, VS004, VS005, VS006 bathtubs can be supplied only as described in the catalogue, with the door on the right side considering the seat (looking from the inside of the bathtub) and the taps on the left side; they cannot be supplied without taps. VS005 bathtub, having a front door considering the seat results symmetrical; the taps can be installed both on the right or left side and it must be chosen when ordering. You can have this model also without taps. VS006 model can be supplied only with the door on the right considering the seat (looking from the inside of the bathtub) and without taps.
