6. The shower is suitable for installation within the shower area.
The shower is
fitted with an internal pressure relief valve and must be installed over a water
catchment area.
7. Position the shower where the controls are at a convenient height for the user.
Position the showerhead so that the water sprays in line with the bath or across
the opening of a shower cubicle. The showerhead must not spray directly onto
the shower unit during normal use. The installation must not cause the shower
hose to be kinked during normal use.
8 The shower must be fitted to a waterproof, flat and even wall surface. The
3 screws (No. 8 x 1¼”) and wall plugs supplied are suitable for most solid wall
installations. Alternative fixing screws for panel structures are not supplied. Use all
3 fixing points to secure the shower unit, be sure to use fixings appropriate for
the chosen wall structure and environment.
DO NOT
fit the shower to the wall and tile up to the case or seal the gap between
the shower and the wall surface with sealant.
9 The shower is intended to be permanently connected to a gravity fed water
supply using the inlet connection supplied as part of the shower unit.
DO NOT
use any other type of fitting.
10. Use a minimum of 15 mm diameter supply pipework. For long pipe runs, this
should be increased to 22 mm (see
“Pipework”
for guidance and calculation
table). When using flexible plastic pipe it is essential that the pipe is kept flat to
minimise air build up in the system.
11. A full bore/non restrictive servicing valve must be fitted in a readily accessible
position adjacent to the shower to facilitate maintenance of the shower.
DO NOT
use a valve with a loose washer plate (jumper) as this can lead to a
build up of static pressure.
12. The shower is not designed to be plumbed directly from the rear. For rear-entry
supply, add an elbow to the supply pipe and connect as a rising or falling supply.
We recommend a falling supply to prevent air lock in the pipework.
13. If pipework and/or electrical cables enter the shower from the rear through a
hole in the wall, provision must be made to prevent water ingress back into the
wall structure.
14.
DO NOT
apply excessive force to plumbing connections; always provide
mechanical support when making plumbing connections. Any soldered joints
should be made before connecting the shower.
15. A water treatment device should be installed where the water hardness may
exceed 200 ppm. Malfunctions caused by excessive limescale formation are
not covered by the guarantee.
16.
DO NOT
perform the electrical installation until the plumbing has been completed
and checked for leaks.
17.
The water supplies to this product should be isolated if the product is not to be
used for a long period of time. If the product or pipework is at risk of freezing
during this period they should also be drained of water.
