WARNING!
The outlet of the shower acts as a
vent and must not be connected to
anything other than the hose and
shower head supplied.
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.
Standard 15mm x 15mm 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. If
this isolator is fitted in a loft space, the loft must
have a fixed access ladder and be boarded, with
appropriate lighting from the access point to the
isolator.
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 of the shower
via 15mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe
using a 15mm x 15mm brass compression
fitting.
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.
