PREPARING THE MIXER VALVE
Check the contents to ensure all parts are present.
Ensure the supplied metal fixing bracket, tiling
shroud, cranked spanner, lock nut key and allen
key are all to hand.
Before commencing the installation, make sure all
the apertures on the valve are carefully covered to
prevent ingress of any debris etc.
The valve unit is supplied with a mounting bracket
to suit installation in a chased out cavity in a solid
wall, a stud partition wall, dry lined wall or fixing
to a shower cubicle or panel. It is also supplied
with an attached tiling shroud which provides
protection for the valve both for transit and on
site. It should be left on at all times until such time
when it is being installed.
The hot and cold water pipes should not be
permanently attached to the wall closer than 2m
from the valve prior to installation to allow for
final adjustment of the valve position.
SITING OF THE SHOWER
WARNING: THE SHOWER MUST NOT BE
POSITIONED WHERE IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO
FREEZING CONDITIONS.
Refer to fig.6 for correct siting of the shower.
Position the shower and sprayhead on the wall so
that all controls can be comfortably reached whilst
using the shower. The spray head can be
positioned either side of the shower.
The valve unit can be fitted in any orientation. For
a wall mounted sprayhead installation, the
plumbing will be simplified if the outlet is fitted
upwards.
