If a side entry is required, the trimplate side will
have to be cut. With the elbow compression
fitted on the outlet, temporarily place the
trimplate into position, then mark the pipe entry
on the side of the trimplate. Carefully remove
the appropriate area using a junior hacksaw.
If installing a feed pipe from the back or bottom,
the centre of the inlet valve to the wall surface is
20mm
(fig.9)
.
Note:
If entry is from the back, the nut of the
compression fitting will be partially behind the
surface of the wall. This area MUST be left clear
when plastering over the pipework in order to
make the nut accessible for future adjustments.
After choosing the site for the shower, use the
backplate as a template and mark the two fixing
holes
(fig.10)
.
Drill and plug the wall. An appropriate drill bit
should be used. If the wall is plasterboard or a
soft building block, appropriate wall plugs and
screws should be fitted.
Screw the top fixing screw into position leaving
the base of the screw head protruding 6mm out
from the wall.
Hook the backplate over the top screw and fit
the bottom fixing screw into position.
DO NOT fully tighten the screws at this stage,
as the fixing holes are elongated to allow for
out of square adjustment after the plumbing
connections have been completed.
