Ceiling Fed Deluge Head 

The Deluge Head should be fixed to the ceiling at a convenient height for all the 

family. It should be positioned so that water sprays down over the centre of the bath, 

or away from the opening of a shower cubicle. 

The fitting of the Deluge Head into the ceiling will be easier with the aid of a helper.

When you are working within the bath or shower tray area use a towel or blanket to 

protect the surface from damage.

Drill 29 mm 

Hole

Timber noggin or 

plywood plinth

Drill holes 

in line!

Decide on a suitable position for the 

Deluge Head avoiding cables and 

pipes hidden between joists or rafters. 

Note! 

A timber noggin or plywood 

plinth securely fixed to the joist should 

be used to mount the Deluge Head. 

Drill a 29 mm hole through the ceiling 

and the wooden support. Ensure the 

two holes drilled are directly in line or 

the ceiling pipework will be at an angle.

Push  the  Brazed  Pipe  through  the 

Ceiling Mount Plate then push the 

threaded end of the brazed pipe down 

through the holes made in the ceiling. 

Ceiling Mount 

Plate

Brazed 

Pipe

Threaded end

Place  first  washer  in  end  of  hose, 

then  attach  to  pipe  end.  Do  not  fit 

showerhead until after pipework has 

been fully flushed through. See section
