6.0 Preparation for chrome trim (kit-2)
Once the valve-box installation has been completed, & the wall is in a finished state
(either tiled or panel finish) the plaster guard can be removed & valve-box must be trimmed as detailed
below.
NOTES:
• It is important to use the fleece mat supplied to seal the wall around the valve-box
if wall is being tiling (see 4.6 & 4.7).
• Wall tiles should be carefully trimmed to match the projecting valve-box diameter.
• Removal of trim kit will permit access to the valve cartridges for future maintenance.
To do this, just reverse the following installation sequence.
Pull of plasterguard
Illustrated above, valve-box projecting from the finished wall at the correct depth.
The plaster guard can now be removed to expose the valve assembly inside.
Use a sharp craft knife to carefully trim the valve-box diameter. Select a suitable line marked on the diameter
as a trimming guide. The diameter should be trimmed level with the finished wall. Take care not to damage
components inside the valve-box
Illustrated on the left, the valve-box has been correctly
trimmed. In this example, the product is the version with the
integral “flow control”.
The trim kit can now be fitted.
