Your shower is provided with 6 x wall-fixing positions in the backplate
(fig.19)
These have been especially designed to match a number of previous ‘Redring Showers’,
as well as providing flexibility for new installations.
The 3 x top-fixing holes are a ‘key-hole’ slot design
(‘k’ or ‘l’ fig.19)
, and the single most
convenient should be marked and drilled first.
Tighten fixing screw with head protruding about 10mm from the wall and hook the backplate
over the screw head. This allows for correct and accurate alignment of your shower before
marking and fixing the bottom positions.
Mark and drill the other 2 x most convenient wall fixing slots
(‘m’ fig.19),
ensuring the slot in
the detachable lower section is used.
Remove the detachable lower section by lifting away from the 2 x fixing posts/pegs
(fig.2)
.
Tighten fixing screw in main shower, leaving the detachable lower section screw until later.
You may wish to leave both fixing screws loose at this stage, as the holes are elongated to allow
for adjustment after other connections have taken place.

PLUMBING
WARNING:
ENSURE THAT THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS BELOW BEFORE
CONTINUING INSTALLATION.
The shower unit must be connected to the mains cold water supply.
This must have a minimum supply running pressure of 100kPa (1.0 bar, 15 psi) at a minimum
flow rate of 8 litres/minute*.
The maximum static supply pressure must be no greater than 1000kPa (10 bar, 150 psi).
*
Minimum running pressure must be obtained at 9 litres/minute for 9.5kW.
WARNING:
BEFORE CONNECTING THE PIPE WORK TO THE SHOWER, ENSURE THAT THE PIPE WORK
IS FULLY FLUSHED OUT.
1.
It is recommended that a WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) listed isolating valve is
fitted to the incoming mains cold water before the shower unit.
This will allow the unit to be serviced or exchanged without having to turn off the water at the
water stop valve.
2.
Connect the mains water supply to the shower using Ø15mm copper pipe (BS.EN.1057) or
Ø15mm plastic pipe (with insert).
We recommend the use of copper olives.
If you choose to use a ‘push-fit’ connection rather than the compression elbow supplied (see
fig.5
and details on page.8),
DO NOT
use stainless steel or chrome plated pipe work.
In multiple installations, calculate correct pipe work sizes to maintain adequate flow to each unit.
