Plumbing Connections
Note
: The manufacturer’s rigorous quality systems may require operating the shower with water
at the factory. Any water will be removed where possible, however there may be a small amount of
water residue left in the shower.
There are 8 water inlet points for easy installation and servicing.
The plumbing installation must comply with the local Water Authorities and should be in accordance
with the latest Building Regulations.
Plumbing work must be completed before any electrical connections are made.
Make sure there is a cold water feed near to the installation with a local service isolation valve.
Before assembly, flush the water supply pipes thoroughly to remove debris in the pipework (allow the
water to run with the main stopcock open for about 3 mins), to prevent debris and dirt particles from
blocking the filter which might affect the function of the shower.
DO NOT solder pipes or fittings within 110mm of the shower appliance.
DO NOT fit any form of outlet flow control to the water heater.
DO NOT use excessive force when making connections to the water supply inlet, the flexible hose or
the spray head.
Note
: An isolating stop valve must be provided on the cold water feed before connecting to the
shower. The isolation valve (not supplied) should be fitted as close as is practicable to the water
supply inlet of the shower heater whilst being accessible for maintenance and servicing purposes.
