Electric shower
Temporarily connect the mains water supply to
the inlet of the shower using a 15mm x 15mm
compression fitting.
Use the backplate as a template, ensuring it is
level, to mark the fixing holes
(fig.10) .
Remove the unit from the wall. Drill and plug the
wall. An appropriate drill bit should be used. If
the wall is plasterboard or a soft building block,
appropriate wall plugs should be fitted.
Fit the top screw and hook the backplate over it,
then fit the middle and bottom fixing screws into
position.
DO NOT fully tighten the screws at this
stage, as the fixing holes are elongated to allow
for out of square adjustment after the plumbing
connections have been completed.
Connect the mains water supply to the inlet.
DO NOT use excessive force when making the
connection.
Make sure the backplate is square on the wall
and tighten the screws which hold it to the
wall.
Turn on the mains water supply and check
plumbing connections are watertight and there
are no leaks in the pipework connection to the
shower.
NOTE: At this stage no water can flow
through the unit.
IMPORTANT: A suitable sealant should always
be used to seal around the incoming pipework
to prevent water entering the wall.

using power tools.
