Bar Mixer Shower
12
PRIMARY CONSIDERATIONS
Please consider the following points before
beginning the installation:
• The brackets must be mounted onto a surface
that is both solid and strong enough to
support the final assembly of brackets and bar
mixer.
• The push-fit connectors can be used with
either 15mm copper or plastic pipework.
DO NOT use chrome plated pipework.
• When installed, the pipework should not be
fixed within one metre of the bracket.
• When installed
,
the pipework must be backed
by a solid structure. When fitting the push-fit
connectors, the pipework will need to resist
the applied force.
• Clearance should be provided behind the
finished wall (at the point at which the
pipework exits the wall) to allow the pipe
to be moved in and out of the wall by a
minimum distance of 4mm.
This distance
should be a measure of total travel of the
pipe between a solid structure and the rear
of the finished wall
. This clearance will allow
the pipework to move when the mounting
plate is assembled onto the push-fit connector,
ensuring that the seal to the pipework remains
undisturbed
(fig.10)
.
• The pipes that enter the brackets should be cut
using a suitable pipe cutter and deburred.
DO NOT use a hacksaw or other cutting
tool that may damage the outer surface
of the pipework as this may prevent a
good seal to the push-fit connector.
