The pipe inlets are marked for hot and cold
connections – left-hand side for hot inlet on
bottom entry
(fig.10) and right-hand side for
hot inlet on top or rear entry (fig.11) .
IMPORTANT: The fittings on the inlets are
the push-in type. DO NOT insert fingers into
the push-in inlet fittings, doing so could cause
injury.
The pipework must be cut with a pipe
cutter and all burrs and rough edges removed
from the end of the tube. The fittings can be
used with copper and plastic pipe. If using
chrome plated copper pipe, remove the
first 25mm of plating completely from the
connecting surfaces. If not completely removed
then the collet will not grip the pipe and
under pressure the pipe may be forced out.
Pipework must be clipped or fixed to the wall so
that it cannot be moved or removed without the
aid of a tool.
Note: The pipe inlets contain filters. These
should be periodically removed and cleaned
in order to maintain the performance of the
shower. See section
‘ Cleaning the Filters’ on how
to access them.
IMPORTANT: The inlets contain check valves.
Before completing the connection of the
water supplies to the shower, flush out the
pipework to remove all swarf and system
debris that may cause damage to internal
parts. This can be achieved by connecting
a hose to the pipework and turning on the
water supplies long enough to clear the
debris to waste.
FITTING SHOWER TO THE WALL
Depending on whether top, bottom or rear
pipe entry has been chosen, fit pipe trims to suit
chosen installation (
fig.12 and fig13).
If the cover has not already been removed to
change the position of the pipe inlets, carefully
lift the cover away from the backplate and lay
aside until needed later.
Offer the backplate unit up to the completed
pipework and manoeuvre so that the end of the
pipes fully enter into the inlet fittings.
