11. Earth cable fitting
The earth cable now needs reconnecting. To do this find 1 x M6 Shake proof tooth washers and 1
x M6 x 12 button head bolt in the dispatch kit.
Find the earth cable. This will still be connected to the bath frame. Locate the fixing hole for the
opposite end of the cable, this will have a green earth sticker next to it.
Insert the bolt through the earth cable eyelet, followed up by the M6 shake proof washer. Screw
the bolt into the fixing hole. Whilst tightening, hold the earth cable eyelet, as this will prevent it
rotating.
12. Fitting the waste flexi pipe
The flexi waste pipe will now need connecting to the S-trap.
Locate the waste locking ring and rubber seal in the dispatch kit. Next place the locking nut over
the end of the waste pipe. Now, place the rubber seal onto the end of the waste pipe.
Gently plug the end of the waste pipe into the S-trap. Push gently, ensuring the flexi pipe end will
insert no further.
Whilst holding the flexi waste pipe end in place, begin to tighten the locking nut.
Note: Holding the waste pipe in place will prevent it rotating whilst the locking nut is being
tightened. Tighten firmly hand tight, however do not overtighten.
Note: When connected correctly, the waste pipe should resemble the image show on page 19, in
the section ‘Bath plumbing Orientation).
13. Fitting the Flexi water pipes (Hot and Cold)
The Hot and Cold water feeds now require connecting to the bath plumbing, and will need to
follow the same route taken by the waste flexi pipe.
The hot flexi pipe can be identified by a red cable tie, the cold flexi pipe by blue.
Using the push fit connectors at the end of the water flexi pipes, fit the flexi pipes to the
corresponding colour coded hard pipes on the bath.
Once the pipes have been correctly fitted, secure the flexi pipes to the cable tie mount positioned
at the tap end of the bath, near the S-trap.
