Installation Instructions
ALL WIRING AND INSTALLATION MUST BE SUPERVISED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS SHOWER IN A ROOM WHERE IT MAY BE SUBJECT TO FREEZING.
We recommend that the installation is done in the following sequence.
a. Fixing the shower to the wall
b. Plumbing
c. Electrical connections
a.
Fixing the shower to the wall
1.
Position the riser rail at the height recommended in diagram 5 and mark its position (also see separate accessories
fitting instructions sheet).
2.
Position the heater so that the top of the unit is horizontal and level with,
or up to
0.6 metres (2ft) maximum below the top of the riser rail.
Choose a flat piece of wall to avoid the possibility of distorting the
backplate thus making the front cover a poor fit.
3.
Adjust the position to get the most convenient arrangement taking the
following into account.
•
The possible need to use the handset over the sink for hair washing etc.
•
The heater must not be mounted in direct spray from the handset.
•
The handset must not be able to come into contact with used water in the
cubicle, bath or basin.
If it can, even after the hose has been retained by the soap dish (see
separate accessories fitting instructions sheet), then a vacuum breaker
must be fitted.
It should be noted that these devices are liable to minor leakage so they
must be positioned so that any drips are not detrimental.
4.
Fix the riser rail with screws provided (see separate accessories fitting
instructions sheet).
5.
Decide the position of the electrical cable to the unit.
If top or bottom entry is chosen (according to diagram 4), cut
away the walls in the backplate as shown in diagram 6.
6.
Decide the position of entry of the cold water pipe into the unit.
If top, cut away the backplate.
If rear, please read the section on plumbing.
If bottom, remove the front cover and cut away the detachable
corner section as shown,
7.
If you have not yet done so, remove the front cover of the unit by
undoing the retaining screws at the top and bottom of the unit
and lifting the cover off.
Your shower is provided with 2 fixing positions in the backplate
(see diagram 4).
The top-fixing hole is a “key-hole” slot (another key-hole is
provided for alternate fixing), and should be marked and drilled
first.
Tighten top screw with head protruding about 10mm from the
wall and hook the backplate over the screw head.
This allows for correct and accurate alignment of your shower
before marking and fixing the bottom position.
You may not wish to tighten up both screws at this stage as
the holes are elongated to allow for adjustment after other
connections have taken place.
