Fitting your Shower

NEWTEAM 1500-XT
In addition to the recommendation on `Planning your Installation’ please take note of
the following:
• All plumbing should be completed before any electrical connections are undertaken.
• The unit can be connected to a combination cylinder system providing it
has a cold water storage capacity of 115 litres (25 gallons actual).
• When connecting pipework avoid using elbows: sweep or formed bends will
ensure optimum performance.
• Do not solder within 300mm of the unit.
• Do not run pump dry this will damage the internal seal and invalidate the warranty.
• All pipework to and from the unit should be a minimum of 15mm. Non-restrictive
isolating valves must be fitted on hot and cold supply pipes.
• Do not position unit in areas subjected to freezing conditions.
• The temperature of your stored water must not exceed 65ºC. A stored water
temperature of 60ºC is considered sufficient to meet all normal requirements
in line with the British Standard 6700.
WARNING – ALL CONNECTING PIPEWORK SHOULD BE EARTHED
Procedure - Plumbing Connections: Fig 1.
1. Isolate mains water and electrical supplies.
2. To empty the pipework open the hot and cold water taps.
3. Make your connection into the hot water supply pipe from the cylinder, ensuring
that it is the first draw-off (below the expansion pipe tee) to minimise the effects
of water draw offs elsewhere in the house, and a minimum of 1 metre from the
base of the cold storage tank and the expansion tee.
4. If this is not possible, a direct connection must be made from the hot water
cylinder with a cylinder flange, Fig 2.
5. The cold water supply should be taken directly from the cold storage tank,
and must be positioned 60mm below the cold feed connection to the hot
water cylinder. This should not be directly beneath the ball valve as aeration of the
water going to the shower could cause pump damage.
6. Run hot and cold pipework to the unit position.
We recommend that the unit is fitted at chest height, and set to one side of the
intended riser rail position, ensuring that the top of the unit is at least 75mm below
the base of the cold water tank.
IMPORTANT:
• The unit must be fitted on the finished tiled surface.
•
Do not seal the edge of the unit to the tiled surface with any sealant,
as the
gap below the back of the unit and the tiles is needed for ventilation.
• The outlet connection must be positioned at the bottom of the unit.
