around 6mm out from the wall. Hook the
backplate over the top screw and fit the
bottom fixing screw/s into position.
• Connect the mains water supply to the inlet
DO NOT
use excessive force when making
the connection.
• Make sure the backplate is square on the
wall and tighten the 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.
NOTE:
At this stage no water can flow through
the unit.
IMPORTANT:
A suitable sealant should always
be used to seal around the incoming pipework to
prevent water entering the wall.
