Plan your own installation carefully. Check on
the nearest and most readily accessible rising
mains water supply, this may be beneath the
bath or in the loft, where it feeds the cold
water storage tank. Use only the cold rising
water main supply.
Do not connect the shower unit to the
down service from the tank.
Avoid connecting the shower unit, if possible,
were it will be affected by water drawn off by
other appliances, e.g. From the mains feed to
the W.C., This may cause a drop in pressure
too low for the shower unit to work correctly.
An isolating valve must be fitted into the water
supply for servicing purposes.
Remove the two screws securing the shower
unit cover and remove the cover complete with
the control knobs.
Place the shower unit on the wall and mark the
location of the fixing screws through the back
plate.
Carefully drill the holes as marked using a
sharp 5.5mm masonry drill.
Fix the shower unit to the wall using the plugs
and screws provided, do not fully tighten at
this stage.
