Check List
Separately flush the pipework to remove any debris before connecting to the shower
Note: For ease of installation and servicing, rear entry pipe is only recommended if the top, side
or bottom entries are not possible. This pipework must not apply strain to the elbow fitting on the
shower. Failure to observe this essential precaution will invalidate the warranty.
Securely fix the shower appliance to the wall and make sure it is vertical.
Do not connect the shower handset yet. Only connect the hose to the shower outlet without the
handset at this time and point the hose into the bath, shower tray or wet floor.
CONNECT PIPEWORK AND SECURE THE APPLIANCE TO THE WALL
Check that finished walls are sound and free from cracks or loose tiles or grout. Make sure
that the appliance and all surfaces are clean, dry and free from loose debris or dust.
The unit must be mounted onto the finished wall or tiled surface (on top of the tiles). DO NOT
tile up to or seal around ANY PART of the unit using silicone sealer after fixing to the wall.
Turn on the water supply and check there are no leaks - no water should flow through the
shower at this point. The maximum static water pressure is 10 bar - The minimum operating
dynamic pressure must be at least 0.5 bar. Recommend that for optimum performance this is
1 bar minimum.
Place absorbent material around the inlet areas in case of leaks.
Checked that there are no leaks
Turn off the supply, dry off any water in and around the appliance before connecting or
reinstating the electricity.
