Electric shower
9
If surface cable entry from the top is required
then a small area will need to be cut out in the
backplate
(fig.10)
.
If installing a feed pipe from the rear or bottom,
the centre of the inlet valve to the wall surface is
21mm
(fig.11)
.
Note:
If entry is from the rear, the nut of the
compression fitting will be partially behind the
surface of the wall
(fig.11)
. This area MUST be
left clear when plastering over the pipework as to
make the nut accessible for future adjustments.
IMPORTANT:
Using a suitable sealant, always
seal around the incoming pipework to
prevent water entering the wall.
After choosing the site for the shower, use the
backplate as a template and mark the two fixing
holes
(fig.12)
.
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).
Screw top fixing screw into position leaving the
base of the screw head protruding 6mm out
from the wall.
Hook the backplate over the top screw and
fit the bottom fixing screw 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.
Note:
If replacing an older model shower unit
which has been tiled around, an installation trim
is available to cover the untiled area. See
‘spare
parts’
for details.
