Preparing the mixer valve
Check the contents to make sure all parts are
present.
Before starting the mixer installation, make
sure all the openings on the valve are carefully
covered to stop ingress of any debris, etc. while
routing the supply pipework.
The shower valve is suitable for built-in
installation in a solid wall, a stud partition wall,
dry lined wall or fixing to a shower cubicle or
panel.
Siting of the shower and accessories
Refer to
(fig.1)
for correct siting of the shower.
The mixer valve should be positioned, as
detailed, with all controls within comfortable
reached of the user.
The accessories (showerhead, riser rail and/or
fixed showerhead) can be positioned above or to
either side of the shower, refer to
(fig.1)
.
Supply pipe work
Complete the pipework to the shower area
having decided on the position of the shower
and direction of pipe entry (for example rising,
falling or rear entry)
The hot and cold water pipes should not
be permanently attached to the wall within
one metre of the valve, before installation is
complete, to allow for final adjustment of the
valve position.
Rear entry supplies
Using a spirit level, mark the route of incoming
hot and cold water supply pipes at a distance
of 170mm (approximately) between centres
