Position the shower unit where the controls are at a convenient height for the
user. Position the showerhead so that the water sprays in line with the bath or
across the opening of a shower cubicle. The installation must not cause the
shower hose to be kinked during normal use.
12.
A suitable waterproof shower tanking adhesive is required for the fabric wall
seal supplied. We recommend a liquid based plumbing type to be applied with
a paint brush, available from tile / builder merchants. A sufficient amount is
required for coating the fabric seal twice during the installation.

The water supplies to this product should be isolated if the product is not to be
used for a long period of time. If the product or pipework is at risk of freezing
during this period they should also be drained of water.

The position of the shower and shower fittings must provide a minimum air
gap of 25 mm between the showerhead and the spill over level of any bath,
shower tray or basin. There must be a minimum distance of 30 mm between
the showerhead and the spill over lever of any toilet, bidet or other appliance
with a Fluid Category 5 backflow risk.

Note : There will be occasions when the hose retaining ring will not provide
a suitable solution for Fluid Category 3 installations. In these instances an
outlet double checkvalve must be fitted, this will increase the required
supply pressure typically by 10 kPa (0.1 bar). Double checkvalves fitted in
the inlet supply to the appliance cause a pressure build up, which affects
the maximum static inlet pressure for the appliance and must not be fitted.
For Fluid Category 5, double checkvalves are not suitable.
