T300si electric shower

ImporTAnT:

 

If installing onto a tiled wall 

always mount the unit on the surface of the 
tiles. Never tile up to the unit.

The heated water pipe and control cable are 
both 3.5 metres approximately in length, so 
position the remote pack within this distance 
from the control panel and bulkhead.

note: 

The control cable is supplied with 

protective dust covers fitted at either end.
DO NOT remove them until all installation work 
is complete and ready for the final connection to 
the control panel and remote pack.
Refer to 

fig.

 for correct siting of shower.

Position the control panel where it will NOT

 

be in direct contact with water from the 
showerhead. Position the remote pack vertically 
and accessible for maintenance purposes.

note: 

Water Regulations requires that the 

showerhead be ‘constrained by a fixed or sliding 
attachment so that it can only discharge water at 
a point not less than 25 mm above the spill-over 
level of the relevant bath, shower tray or other 
fixed appliance’ 

(fig.)

. The use of the supplied 

soap dish will usually meet this requirement, but 
if the showerhead can be placed within a bath, 
basin or shower tray, then a double check valve, 
or a similar device, must be fitted in the supply 
pipework to prevent back-flow.

Pressure relief safety device

A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed into 
the shower unit which complies with European 
standards. The PRD 

(fig.) 

provides a level of 

appliance protection should an excessive build 
up of pressure occur within the shower.
If the PRD operates, then water will eject from 
the clear PRD tube, so make sure the tube, when 
eventually installed, is routed carefully to waste.
In the event of the PRD operating, turn off the 
electricity and water supplies to the shower

The shower must not be positioned 

where it will be subjected to freezing 

conditions.

WARNING!

Under no circumstance should the 

control cable be extended or 

shortened, or the heated water pipe 

extended. This will impair the 

performance of the shower and
