components (shown above) before commencing installation. Failure to install

the product in accordance with these instructions may adversely affect the

!

The Axis Digital shower system is supplied with masonry fixings intended for

use with a wall of solid construction. If the unit is to be installed on a wall of

a different construction then please use alternative fixings as required.

!

The Axis Digital processor must be fixed in one of the three orientations

shown.

114mm

432mm

290mm

335mm

290mm

114mm

Choose the position for your Digital processor as close to the shower control

as possible. The processor may be sited in the roof space above the proposed

shower site, in the airing cupboard or behind a screwed bath panel if more

convenient. If siting in the roof space, ensure that freezing cannot occur and

that no insulation material is placed under or over the processor. Please refer

to the system layout diagrams opposite.

3

Isolation valves are supplied with the Digital

processor and must be fitted on both inlets

and the mixed water outlet. For optimum 

performance, all inlet pipe work should be

15mm copper pipe. If plastic pipe is used,

there will be a restriction in flow rate and 

performance. All pipe work should be 

supported. 

2

For externally pumped gravity fed installations, 22mm pipe work should be

run as close to the processor as possible before reducing down to 15mm. 

!

!

The optimum position for the Digital processor is in the roof space above the

shower site to take full advantage of the ease and speed of installation.
