4. Installation
4.1 Installation of wall/ceiling mounted versions
Wall or ceiling mounted versions must be securely fastened to the wall/ceiling or other
special structure. The technique required to fasten the shower depends on the construction
and is to be decided by the installation company.
4.2 Installation of over-door mounted versions
The over-door models are delivered with an already attached valve adapter (type A) for
installation of the rod-operated valve to the right of the door. If an installation to the left of the
door is required, then the attached valve adapter (type A) must be replaced by another valve
adapter (type B), which is also included in the delivery. The specialist tool (C31), which is also
included in the delivery, must be used to attach the valve adapter to the ball cock. The nut of
the ball cock must be tightened with a standard screw locking device.
4.3 Installation of freestanding body safety showers
Freestanding body safety showers must be securely fastened to the surface using the base
plate. The technique required to fasten the shower depends on the construction and is to be
decided by the installation company.
4.4 Installation of safety shower cubicles
Safety shower cubicles must be securely screwed to the subfloor by means of the base
plates. The technique required to fasten the shower depends on the construction and is to be
decided by the installation company.
4.5 Models with eye showers
4.5.1 Models with safety eye showers combine the eye shower and body safety shower using
the provided adapter
4.5.2 Models with hand-held eye showers mount the bracket of the hand-held eye shower
at a height of approximately 900 mm. Connect the hand-held eye shower to the body
safety shower with the hose using the double adapter.
4.5.3 Models with eye/face wash units remove the base of the eye shower. Drill the holes for
the pipe clamps using the template provided. Place the eye shower at a height of 970
mm on the body safety shower and fasten it using the pipe clamps, screws and nuts.
Install the base. Connect the eye shower to the body safety shower with the hose using
the double adapter.
4.6 Models with optional platform actuation
Platform actuators must be securely screwed to the floor. Which type of fasteners are
required must be determined at the installation site by installation personnel depending upon
the type of foundation.
The actuating chain is cut to length at the factory. During setup at the installation site, it
must be assured that the actuating chain opens the valve all the way when the platform is
subjected to full loading, but it must also have a small amount of remaining free play. If there
is no free play, for example due to an out-of-level foundation, the chain must be lengthened
because the shower valve will otherwise be damaged.
