FITTING THE UNIT TO THE WALL
IMPORTANT
: The unit must be mounted on
a flat surface, on top of tiles which cover the
full width and length of the backplate. It is
important that the wall surface is flat otherwise
difficulty may be encountered when fitting the
cover and subsequent operation of the unit may
be impaired. DO NOT tile up to or seal around
any part of the unit using silicone sealer after
fixing to the wall. Special care must be taken
not to block or seal any PRD vents on the unit.
The control knob is an integral part of the cover
— DO NOT attempt to remove it.
Entry position for the mains water is at the
bottom. Entry for electrical supplies are at the
top, bottom or back of the unit.
If top or bottom entry position is chosen, the
cable entry not being used should have the pipe
trim inserted (
fig.4
).
Procedure
Position the unit on the wall and using the
backplate as a template, mark the two fixing
holes (
fig.5
).
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 the 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.
IMPORTANT
: Using a suitable sealant, always
seal around the incoming pipework to prevent
water entering the wall.

WARNING

OR PIPES BEFORE DRILLING HOLES FOR
WALL PLUGS. USE GREAT CARE WHEN
USING POWER TOOLS NEAR WATER.
THE USE OF A RESIDUAL CURRENT
DEVICE (RCD) IS RECOMMENDED
WHEN USING POWER TOOLS.
