plumbing to be carried out before wiring
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
DO NOT solder fittings near the shower unit
as heat can transfer along the pipework and
damage components.
Standard 15 mm x 15 mm brass compression
fittings MuST be used to connect to the inlet of
the shower.
Note:
An additional stopvalve (complying with
Water Regulations and Bylaws) MuST be fitted
in the mains water supply to the shower as an
independent means of isolating the water in
order to carry out maintenance or servicing.
ImporTANT:
Before completing the
connection of the water supply to the inlet
of the shower, and in compliance with
Water regulations, flush out the pipework
to remove all swarf and system debris. this
can be achieved by connecting a hose to the
pipework and turning on the mains water
supply long enough to clear the debris to
waste.
procedure
Turn off the water supply either at the mains
stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve. Connect the
mains water supply to the inlet of the shower
via 15 mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe
using a 15 mm x 15 mm brass compression
fitting.
Note:
The inlet fitting is designed to enter a
compression fitting only. DO NOT use push-
fit connectors as full engagement cannot be
guaranteed. DO NOT use excessive force when
making these connections.
Make sure the backplate is square on the wall
and tighten the two retaining screws which hold
it to the wall.
Turn on the mains water supply and check for
leaks in the pipework connection to the shower.
ImporTANT:
Using a suitable sealant, always
seal around the incoming pipework to
prevent water entering the wall.
Note:
At this stage no water can flow through
the unit.
WArNING!
The outlet of the shower acts as a
vent and must not be connected to
anything other than the hose and
showerhead supplied.
