Remove the two screws securing the
shower unit cover and remove the cover
complete with the control knobs.
Place the shower unit on the wall and mark
the location of the fixing screws through the
back plate.
Carefully drill the holes as marked using a
sharpe 5.5mm masonry drill.
Avoid connecting the shower unit, if
possible, were it will be affected by water
drawn off by other appliances, e.g. From
the mains feed to the W.C., This may
cause a drop in pressure too low for the
shower unit to work correctly.
An isolating valve must be fitted into the
water supply for servicing purposes.
Plan your own installation carefully. Check
on the nearest and most readily accessible
rising mains water supply, this may be
beneath the bath or in the loft, where it
feeds the cold water storage tank. Use
only the cold rising water main supply.
Do not connect the shower unit to the
down service from the tank.

IMPORTANT
Before turning on the water supply to the
shower unit the water supply pipe should
be flushed out to remove debris. This can
be achieved by connecting the flexible
hose to the 15mm compression elbow and
turning on the mains water supply long
enough to clear the debris.
After flushing the pipework ensure that the
shower unit is positioned squarely on the
