Stud Partitions And Shower Enclosures (Front Face) - Mira Excel Installation & User Manual

4. Stud Partitions and Shower Enclosures (Front Face)

Read the section: Installation Requirements first.
The built-in shower control is supplied with a support bracket that can be used to
install the shower control into the front face of a stud partition wall structure or shower
enclosures. The front face installation of the support bracket is only practical where
an applied surface finish e.g. plaster or tiles can conceal flanges of the bracket.
A foam seal is fitted to the concealing plate assembly to seal the bracket to the wall
surface (i.e. tiles). This will provide a sufficient seal for most installations to prevent
ingress of water into the wall cavity.
4.1 Refer to section: Installation, 3. Solid
and dry-lined walls and follow steps
3.1. to 3.3.
4.2 Use the installation template (supplied)
to mark the size of the hole required
on the panel.
Bend the tabs outwards and use a spirit
level to ensure that the hole is marked
symmetrically.
Mark around the outside edge of the
template.
4.3 Carefully cut the hole in the panel.
Note! The support bracket requires a
clearance depth of 58 mm, with a
panel/wall thickness of between
4 and 18 mm.
The raised portion on the building-in
shroud can be used as a depth gauge.
Panel/wall thicknesses in excess of
18 mm can be accommodated, but a
clearance will be required around the
inlet and outlet connections to allow
insertion of pipe and tightening of the
compression nuts.
4.4 To complete the installation, refer to
section: Installation, 3. Solid and
dry-lined walls and follow steps 3.5
to 3.24.
