Carefully take out the removable bottom section of the backplate by lifting its sockets clear of the pegs on the
backplate (See
Fig. 1.0
). This section allows greater access for installing the cable and pipe. Keep it safe, as it could
easily be damaged.
4.4
Decide which entry points you will use for cable and water pipe (See
Fig. 4.8
).
4.5
Decide where to mount the shower. Refer to
Section Two
for guidance. Ensure that you leave enough room
around the shower for removal of the front cover for inspection or servicing at a later date.
4.6
It is best to mount the shower on top of any tiling, so that it can be replaced easily in the future without requiring
re-tiling. If you must tile around the shower, DO NOT grout right up to the shower backplate as this makes
subsequent removal difficult. Do not seal the shower to the wall using bath sealant, as the shower will not be harmed
by water dripping behind it.
4.7
Remove the relevant areas of the backplate, which are not knockouts, using a sharp knife and/or a round file.
Cable and Pipe Entries:
Cable Entry
4.8 Available entry points:
Top, bottom and rear (rear is generally the easiest). Side entry is not possible. The
thinned areas in the backplate and bottom section are suitable for a cable size up to 16mm
2
.
For rear entry, cable must emerge from the wall only in the areas specified in
Fig. 4.8
. You will need at least 280mm
of cable to emerge from the wall to allow connection to the terminal block.
