Your shower is provided with 3 fixing
positions in the backplate (see Diagram 6).
The top-fixing hole is a “key-hole” slot,
and should be marked and drilled first.
Tighten top screw with head protruding
about 10mm from the wall and hook the
backplate over the screw head.
This allows for correct and accurate
alignment of your shower before marking
and fixing the bottom positions.
You may not wish to tighten up both screws at this
stage as the holes are elongated to allow for adjustment after other connections have taken place.

PLUMBING
(
For your convenience a cold water inlet configuration diagram is shown on page 5)
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS BELOW
BEFORE CONTINUING WITH INSTALLATION.
The heater must be connected to the mains cold water supply.
This must have a minimum running pressure of 69kPa (0.7 bar, 10 psi)
and a maximum pressure of 690kPa (7.0 bar, 100 psi).
WARNING: BEFORE CONNECTING THE PIPE WORK TO THE SHOWER,
ENSURE THAT THE PIPE WORK IS FULLY FLUSHED OUT.
1.
Unscrew the “Red Cap” from the shower outlet pipe and discard it in a suitable manner.
It has been used to seal the shower during transit, and is no longer required.
2.
It is recommended that a WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) listed isolating valve is fitted
to the incoming mains cold water before the shower unit. This will allow the unit to be serviced or
exchanged without having to turn off the mains water at the water stop valve.
3.
The heater can be fed from a header tank provided this has a minimum head of 7 metres (23ft).
4.
The cold water inlet connection supplied is a plain Ø15mm straight shank/shaft.
This connector will accept either a Ø15mm compression elbow or a Ø15mm “push-on elbow”.
Ø15mm copper, stainless steel or suitable plastic pipe should be used.
For your convenience, a cold water inlet configuration diagram is shown on page 5.
If rear entry is required, treat as top entry with an additional “Yorkshire” elbow (soldered type) for
fitting into the rear channel.
To aid installation, you may find it convenient to move the flexible pressure relief valve outlet
assembly by removing the two securing screws (See Diagram 2b).
In multiple installations, correct pipe work sizes should be calculated to maintain adequate flow to
each shower.
5.
It is permissible to use a WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved sealant sparingly
whilst avoiding excess finding its way into the shower operating parts.
6.
With isolating valve connected,
flush the pipe work through to remove any particles etc
,
before making the final connection to the shower.
Blockage in the water ways (particularly the handset and solenoid valve) will prevent the heater
working properly.
Note: You may be charged for a service call if it is due to incorrect installation.
7.
The shower is designed to have an open outlet and should only be used with “Creda” recommended
fittings.
Do not connect the handset until after the front cover and detachable bottom section are fitted.
WARNING: DO NOT FIT A TAP ON THE SHOWER OUTLET.
WARNING: TAKE CARE TO AVOID RESTRICTING THE OUTLET OF THE
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE.
