Please help with a plumbing question in relation to a thermostatic shower????

Can i ask a silly question.

I have a thermostatic mixr shower and i have a silly question.

Which side should the hot water be fed in from.

Is it on the heat setting side (eg. the side that controls the temprature)

Or should it be on the ON/OFF side on a thermostaic shower.

Thanksyou for your assistance//answers.

    I would guess that each model is different but I dont know for sure. If you know the make and model you could look for instructions online or contact the manufacturer.

    You should have two pipes in (hot & cold) and one pipe out (shower head). The hot & cold must be connected the correct way round for the thermo bit to work. A make and model would help.

    Hard to say without a make and model but most mixer showers are piped the same as a mixer tap. Usually, the standard layout is hot on the left, cold on the right.
