FITTING THE BULKHEAD PIPEWORK

•  Complete the outlet pipework ending in 

a 15mm x ½" BSP female thread elbow 

(fig.13) 

or similar.

Note:

 

This fitting is not supplied, as variations 

in installations require the selection of a suitable 
solder or compression fitting.

•  Screw the supplied male-thread connector 

into the female fitting 

(fig.14)

 using PTFE 

tape to give a watertight joint.

Note:

 The male-thread connector supplied has 

a shoulder. If fitting into a flush wall, make an  
extra 8mm allowance for this shoulder at the 
finished surface. The connector can be cut to size 
if required.

•  The threaded connector should protrude 

from the finished wall surface between 8mm 
and 13mm.

LEAK TESTING

•  Fit a hose to the bulkhead threaded 

connector and direct it to waste.

•  Push the control lever down to close it. Open 

the isolating valves to the shower. Open 
the flow control by lifting the control lever 
upwards and flush through.

•  Turn the control fully to the left (HOT) and 

then fully to the right (COLD).

•  Push the control lever fully down to close off 

the water supply.

•  Check for any leaks and remedy if necessary.
•  TURN OFF

 the water supplies.

MAKING GOOD

Make good the incoming and outlet pipe 
channelling and around the bulkhead outlet. 

IMPORTANT: 

When plastering around the 

valve be sure to leave enough space to allow 
access to the mixer for future servicing and/or 
maintenance requirements.

 

DO NOT plaster the unit in place.

Make sure the grout lines are flush with the tiles 
in order to provide a smooth sealing surface for 
the outer cover.
