Screw the bulkhead elbow to the bulkhead body.
Screw the completed assembly onto the 
threaded connector temporarily to mark the 
position of the two fixing holes for securing the 
bulkhead to the wall.
Note: If screw thread protrudes too far out of the 
wall, it can be cut to the correct length using a 
hacksaw.
Unscrew and remove the bulkhead assembly. 
Check the location of the pipe in the wall before 
drilling.
Drill and plug the wall.

(An appropriate drill bit should be used. If the 
wall is brick, plasterboard or a soft building block, 
appropriate wall plugs and screws should be fitted).

If fitting to a hollow wall structure, it may be 
preferable to secure the bulkhead by applying a 
bead of silicon seal to the back of the bulkhead.
Apply PTFE tape to the threaded connector.
Screw the bulkhead assembly onto the threaded 
connector until tight to the wall and the two 
fixing holes are aligned. Secure to the wall  

(fig.5)

.

Finish by clipping the cover onto the bulkhead, 
making sure the protruding legs locate in the 
bulkhead body.

Flow regulation

A flow regulator is supplied for use with high-
pressure water systems and may be fitted with 
any of the systems listed to reduce flow rate and 
assist economy.

To fit the flow regulator

To fit the flow regulators (flexible hose 
connection) press it into the outlet of the 
bulkhead, correctly, please note the flow 
regulator is only designed to work in one 
direction 

(fig.)

.

The flow regulator for 15mm rigid pipe must be 
fitted into the showerhead.
