Installation: Ceiling Fed Deluge Head
Fix Deluge Head to the ceiling at a convenient height for all the family. Position 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 two persons. When you are
working within the bath or shower tray area use a towel or blanket to protect the surface
from damage.
Decide on a suitable position for the Ceiling-Fed Arm 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 Ceiling-Fed Arm.
1
Push the brass pipe through the
ceiling mount plate then push the
threaded end of the brass pipe down
through the hole made in the ceiling.
2
Note: Make sure that the deluge head
is not installed over the handshower.
Offer the ceiling-fed arm to the brass
pipe and determine the showering
height required. Push or pull the brass
pipe using a twisting motion to adjust
the height. Check the height is correct
and use a 15mm pipe cutter to cut the
pipe to the desired length.
Note: Cut the brass pipe at least
75mm above the ceiling mount plate
to allow room to fit the olive, nut
and elbow.
4
Offer the chrome shroud to the brass
pipe and determine the length required
to allow the shroud to conceal the brass
pipe and protrude into the ceiling space
a minimum of 15mm. Use a pipe cutter
to cut the shroud to the desired length.
6
Push the chrome shroud into the ceiling
plate then slide the chrome shroud over
the threaded end of the brass pipe and
up through the hole until the ceiling
plate is secured in the hole and the
ceiling plate is flat against the ceiling.
Note: If the hole in the ceiling
is oversize use silicone on the
underside of the ceiling plate to
retain it.
7
Secure the brass pipe to the ceiling
mount plate with the olive and 1/2”
BSP nut.
Note: This is not a water tight
connection, tighten sufficiently to
clamp the pipe in place.
5
Centralise the brass pipe in the hole
then screw the ceiling mount plate to
the wooden support.
