Introduction

The product is an exposed bar valve shower complete with fixed and adjustable height shower heads.
The thermostatic valves provide close temperature stability and fail safe protection on appropriate high pressure
systems.

The product is suitable for use on high pressure, combination boiler and boosted gravity systems.

The product is supplied with a 5 year guarantee.

Safety information

This product must be installed by a competent person in accordance with all relevant current Water Supply
Regulations.

THE SHOWER MUST NOT BE USED WITH A HOT WATER SUPPLY TEMPERATURE OVER 65ºC.

The product is designed for domestic use only.

Product specification

These products are suitable for balanced high pressure, combination boiler systems and boosted gravity systems.
Pressure range 1.0* – 10 bar max (static).
* The combination boiler MUST have a minimum rating of 24kW (80,000 Btu) and be of the type fitted with a fully
modulating gas valve.

If in any doubt, please contact the appliance manufacturer before installation commences.

Connections

This product is designed for conventional supplies with HOT on the Left and COLD on the Right as viewed from the
front.

Supply lines must be flushed clear of any debris before installation of the unit. Any debris accumulation in the shower
valve and head may result in damage and poor performance.

Flushing

Some modern fluxes can be extremely corrosive and, if left in contact, will attack the working parts of this unit.
All soldering must be completed and the pipe work thoroughly flushed out in accordance with current Water Supply
Regulations prior to connection of the product.

Filters

To ensure optimum ongoing performance, products are protected by inlet filter assemblies in the internal waterways.
Debris accumulation may result in progressively reduced flow through the showerhead and noisy operation.

Isolating valves

Suitable full way isolation valves must be fitted to both supplies in accordance with current Water Supply Regulations
and our terms of warranty.
Due to their restrictive characteristics, stopcocks and ball type valves that reduce the pipe bore size must not be used
on gravity pumped installations.
