Power shower
8
25 mm below the cold feed connection to the
hot water cylinder on the opposite side of the
cistern to the float operated valve
(see fig.2)
.
This minimises air ingress into the pipework.
Plumbing options other than those outlined
in these fitting instructions could impair the
performance. For example, if hot and cold
connections are made after draw-off points
to other outlets, (eg. washing machine, taps,
etc.) it could result in unstable flows and
temperatures should other appliances operate at
the same time.
Run the hot and cold pipework to the shower
position, making sure that the pipework does
not rise above the level of water in the cold
cistern at any point to avoid air locks. Under
normal site conditions 15 mm pipework will be
adequate.
Decide the position of the shower. Cut the
pipework to the dimensions relevant to the
chosen direction of water entry into the shower.
IMPORTANT:
For rear entry only, the supplied
elbows must be used. For ease of installation,
the backplate area adjacent to the top pipe
inlet must be cut out, including the top left
wall fixing hole.
When fitting the elbows to incoming pipework,
ensure the elbow collets are fully engaged with
the pipe.
Dimensions are shown in
fig.9
and
fig.10
.
Note:
The pipe inlets are marked for hot and
cold connections – left-hand side for hot inlet on
bottom entry
(fig.11)
, but right-hand side for
hot inlet on top or rear entry
(fig.12)
.
IMPORTANT:
The fittings on the inlet elbows
are the push-in type. The pipework must
be cut with a pipe cutter and all burrs and
rough edges removed from the end of the
tube. The fittings can be used with copper
and plastic pipe.
If using chrome plated copper pipe, remove
the first 25 mm of plating completely from
the connecting surfaces. If not completely
removed then the collet will not grip the
pipe and under pressure the pipe may be
forced out.
