The following are typical thicknesses and are
given as a guide only:
Tile
6 − 10mm
Adhesive
2 − 3mm
Plasterboard
9.5 − 12.5mm
Plaster finish
2 − 3mm
Maximum tile thickness to be 10mm
When installing into a stud partition or other
hollow wall structure, the installer may wish to
consider building rear supports or other options
for fitting the mounting plate. Such options are
beyond the scope of this guide.
Use the supplied cover plate or tiling shroud as a
template when cutting the opening for installing
the shower into a solid wall, stud partition or
hollow wall structure.
The building-in depth for the mounting plate is
given in
(fig.1)
from the plaster finish but this
is dependent upon tile and adhesive thicknesses.
The inlet elbows allow for either rising, falling
or rear entry hot and cold water supplies. The
elbows have ‘O’ ring seals
(fig.17)
to the body
and do not require PTFE tape or other means of
sealing.
Note: To ease future requirements for cleaning
and maintenance of the unit, it is advisable to
route both the incoming and outgoing pipework
from the same direction. Access to the integral
strainers will also be improved with this layout.
Installation in a solid wall
Decide on the shower position and determine
whether the hot and cold water supplies will
enter the shower from top (falling) or bottom
(rising) or rear.
