The Osprey power shower requires a source of
gravity fed hot and cold water from a cold water
storage cistern and a hot water storage cylinder.
The bottom of the cold water cistern should be
about 1 metre (3 feet) above the inlet valve
connections.
The shower handset outlet does not have to be
below the cold water storage level.
The maximum recommended hot water
temperature is 60°C.
IMPORTANT
The hot supply must be connected to the bottom inlet
and the cold supply to the top inlet.
The Osprey power shower can be connected via the
side entr y or back entr y. To gain access for back entr y the
access panel must be removed, cut with a knife as shown
in Fig 8.
Side Entry
Measure and cut pipes, using a pipe cutter, not a
hacksaw, to correct length, place pipe entr y covers
on pipes and push firmly into “push fit” connection,
the
pipe must be inserted at least 26mm (1”) into
the connector.
See Fig 9A.
Back Entry
Having removed back access panel, carefully
measure and cut
pipes to fit as shown
in Fig 9, B & C. For
ease of back access
installation, the use of John Guest stem elbow, par t
number PKM221515W, is recommended.
Bath Connections
A convenient method of connecting to the water
supply is joining into the bath supply pipes as shown
in Fig 10.
This is normally quite straightfor ward using 15mm
copper pipes.
It is important to ensure, at this stage,
that the cold supply to the bath tap is tank fed and
not connected directly to the water mains.
