INSTALLATION - FITTING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL
Fig.11
• If installing a feed pipe from the rear or
bottom, the centre of the inlet valve to the
wall surface is 21mm
(fig.11)
.
•
After choosing the site for the shower, use the
backplate as a template to mark the fixing
holes.
• The location of the fixing holes in the
backplate are shown in
(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 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.
NOTE:
If entry is from the rear, the nut of the
compression fitting will be partially behind the
surface of the wall
(fig.10)
.
This area
MUST
be left clear when plastering over the pipework
in order to make the nut accessible for future
adjustments.
IMPORTANT:
A suitable sealant should always
be used to seal around the incoming pipework to
prevent water entering the wall.
