PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Plumbing to be carried out before wiring
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
DO NOT solder fittings near the shower unit as
heat can transfer along the pipework and
damage components.
Note:
An additional gate valve or fullway lever
valve must be fitted in the water supply to the
shower as an independent means of isolating
the water supply should maintenance or
servicing be necessary.
Procedure
Turn off water supply either at the mains
stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve to the
cistern. Drain the cistern.
IMPORTANT:
The pipework must be brought
direct from the cold water storage cistern
with no other cold water draw-offs between
the shower and the cistern.
IMPORTANT:
Before completing the
connection of the water supply to the inlet
of the shower, flush out the pipework to
remove all swarf and system debris. This can
be achieved by connecting a hose to the
pipework and turning on the water supply
long enough to clear the debris to waste.
Connect the water supply to the inlet of the
shower via 15mm copper, stainless steel or
plastic pipe using a 15mm x 15mm elbow
compression fitting. Do not use excessive force
when making these connections.
Although the pipework connection to the
shower is via 15mm diameter pipework, on
long runs use 22mm diameter piping as far as
possible to avoid restricting the flow to the
shower.
Make sure that the backplate of the unit is flat
on the wall and positioned squarely. Tighten
the fixing screws.
Turn on the water supply and check for leaks in
the pipework connection to the shower.
Note:
At this stage no water can flow through
the unit.
WARNING!
The outlet of the shower acts as a
vent and must not be connected to
anything other than the hose and
sprayhead supplied.
