Thermostatic electric shower
10
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
Standard brass compression fittings MuST be
used to connect to the inlet of the shower.
Note:
An additional stopvalve (complying with
Water Bylaws/Regulations) MuST be fitted in
the mains water supply to the shower as an
independent means of isolating the water in
order to carry out maintenance or servicing.
ImpoRtaNt:
Before completing the
connection of the water supply to the inlet
of the shower, and in compliance with Water
regulations, flush out the pipework to remove
all swarf and system debris. to do this,
connect a hose to the pipework and turn on
the mains water supply long enough to clear
the debris to waste.
Procedure
Turn off the water supply either at the mains
stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve. Connect
the mains water supply to the inlet
(fig.12)
of
the shower via 15 mm copper, stainless steel
or plastic pipe using a 15 mm x 15 mm brass
compression fitting. The plastic filter protrudes
from the inlet so check it is in place before
connection.
Note:
The inlet fitting is designed to enter a
compression fitting only. DO NOT use push
fit connectors as full engagement cannot be
guaranteed. DO NOT use excessive force when
making these connections.
Make sure the backplate is square on the wall
and tighten the two retaining screws which hold
it to the wall.
Turn on the mains water supply and check for
leaks in the pipework connection to the shower.
ImpoRtaNt:
Using a suitable sealant, always
seal around the incoming pipework to
prevent water entering the wall.
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
showerhead supplied.
