Fitting the Shower
We recommend that the shower unit is fitted at chest height, and
set to one side of the intended riser rail position, ensuring that the
position of the shower handset when positioned on the wall is at
least 1 metre below the cold water storage tank.
Important: The unit must be fitted on the finished tiled surface.
Warning: Do not seal the edge of the shower unit to the tiled
surface with any form of sealant. The gap between the back of the
shower unit and the tiles is needed for ventilation.
The outlet connection for the hose should be sited at the bottom of
the unit.
Do not fit a fuse or switch on mains electrical supply until all
plumbing work is completed. Connecting pipework can feed from
above or below the unit, or straight through the wall at nominal
centres of 40mm.
Top Feed = Hot on the right/cold on the left
Bottom Feed = Hot on the left/cold on the right
Back Feed = Hot on the bottom/cold on the top
Procedure:
The integral fittings on the valve are of the self-seal push-fit type.
Ensure that all burrs are removed from the ends of the supply pipes.
Where chromium plated pipe is used then the first 25mm of chrome
must be roughened or removed to ensure that the push fit fittings in
the supply retain the pipe in position.
The inlet elbows supplied are of a standard length, in some cases
these will need to be shortened for correct installation.
Flush out the supply pipes to ensure that no debris enters the unit.
Cut the inlet elbows to the required length.
Locate the inlet elbows into the mixer valve inlets by pushing firmly
through the rubber grommets until pipe stop is felt.
Hold the unit on the wall and mark the pipe work to the appropriate
length.
Cut the pipes and remove all burrs. Push the unit and elbows firmly
onto the pipes until the stop is felt.
Mark the fixing points for the unit.
Release unit from pipes by pressing the colletts on the elbow
fittings, and pulling the unit off the pipe work.
Warning! Please check for any hidden pipes and cables before
drilling holes in the wall.
Drill the wall and insert the appropriate wall fixings.
Bring a supply cable (to conform to I.E.E. regulations) from the
switch to the unit position. The cable can enter the unit from the
rear, or via channels in the base of the unit, and the bottom or the
right hand side.
Feed the supply cable in to the unit but do not connect.
