INSTALLATION
General
Installation must be carried out in accordance with these instructions, and
must be conducted by designated, qualified and competent personnel.
1.
Supply pipes must be flushed to clear debris before connecting the shower
fittings. Layout and sizing of pipework must be such that when other services
are used, pressures do not fall below the recommended minimum at the shower
head causing the spray pattern to collapse.
2.
Avoid a position in which the product could become frozen.
3. Do not
fit any form of flow control in the outlet pipework if the shower fitting is
installed in conjunction with a product that requires the fitting to act as a vent
(e.g. an electric shower).
4.
Do not use excessive force when making connections.
5.
Maintained pressures above 4 bar at the shower head, could result in excessive
spray forces and possible product damage.
6
. A fixing position should be chosen to suit the installation, whether it be over a
bath or shower cubicle.
7.
For gravity feed installations, the minimum vertical distance between the header
tank and the shower head must be 0.6 metres.
Procedure
Installation to a Solid Wall
(Refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3)
1.
Joint and screw the parallel nipple into the female fitting from the shower mixer
outlet.
Note!
Refer to Figure 3 for the maximum projection of the parallel nipple.
2.
Turn on the water supply and make sure there are no leaks.
3.
Loosely secure the plastic wall plate to the metal wall plate using the two fixing
bolts. Place the metal wall plate over the nipple and screw the mounting bush
onto the nipple until it locates in the recess in the plastic wall plate.
4.
Mark the position of the metal wall plate and the four fixing holes on the wall
surface.
5.
Remove the mounting bush and the metal wall plate. Remove the two fixing
screws securing the plastic wall plate to the metal wall plate.
6.
Drill four holes for the fixing screws (not supplied). Make a recess approximately
6mm deep to accept the metal wall plate. Make sure that there is a clearance
in the wall for the two fixing bolts that will secure the plastic wall plate.
