Turn on the water supply to the shower unit and check for leaks up stream of the shower unit. If all is sound turn off the
water supply to the shower unit.
!
If required, ensure the water pressure to the shower unit is within the minimum and maximum requirements by following
the pressure testing procedure on page 17.

Pipe work connection must be made using a suitable 1/2” female fitting. Either a 1/2” tap connector or 1/2” to 15mm push fit type
connector (not provided) is recommended.
!
This product is suitable for use with plastic pipe provided the manufacturer has certified suitability for use with the intended
fitting. The plastic pipe inserts MUST be fitted, however, as these can be very restrictive, they MUST meet the pressure/flow
requirements of the product.
This product is not suitable for stainless steel pipe.
If using rear entry pipework, for ease of installation and maintenance, pipework connection
terminating in a 1/2” tap connector type fitting is recommended. Rotate the shower unit inlet
connector 90
O
to accept rear entry pipe connection.
Electrical installation
!
BEFORE ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IS ATTEMPTED, THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY MUST BE TURNED OFF AT THE MAINS
SWITCH. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION.
The electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified person in accordance with IEE (Institute of Electrical
Engineers) wiring regulations (BS7671).
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
IN THE INTERESTS OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY, A 30mA RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) MUST BE INSTALLED IN ALL UK
230-240V ELECTRIC SHOWERS. THIS MAY BE PART OF A CONSUMER UNIT OR A SEPARATE UNIT.
A suitable double-pole isolating switch for supply disconnections must be incorporated in the fixed wiring circuit in
accordance with current wiring rules. This must have a mechanical indicator showing when the switch is in the OFF position.
A neon lamp alone is not sufficient. (see the typical sysytem diagram in the MAINS VOLTAGE CONNECTION section
overleaf). If it is fitted in the bathroom it must be a cord operated type. The switch must be readily accessible and clearly
identifiable in zone 3 i.e. at 0.6m horizontally from the shower cubicle or edge of bath, or located above zone 2 (i.e. adjacent
to the shower cubicle or edge of bath, but at least 2.25m from the floor) as detailed below. This requirement does not apply
to the pull cord from the switch. See illustration overleaf.
Where shower cubicles are located in rooms other than bathrooms, any socket outlet in the room must be situated at least
3m from the shower cubicle and protected by a 30mA RCD.
