1.1. The Elite 2 is designed to operate with water supply pressures from 0.008

bar (80 millimetres head) to 1 bar (10 metres head) (i.e. the vertical

distance from the base of the cold cistern to the top of the Elite 2).

However, the minimum head required will increase with pipe length and the

guide given in paragraph 1.17. should be used to ensure that adequate

head is available for any given installation.

The Elite 2 MUST have its own separate supply from the cistern.

Incorrect Cistern Take Off

Debris from the bottom of the

cistern and air generated when

the cistern refills will enter the

shower supply.

1.2. The Elite 2 is suitable for installation within the shower area and is fitted

with a pressure relief valve. It must be positioned over a water catchment

area with the controls at a convenient height. The shower fitting should be

positioned so that it discharges down the centre line of the bath, or across

the opening of a shower cubicle, and must be directed away from the

shower unit.

1.3. Use a minimum of 15 mm diameter supply pipework. It should be noted,

however, that on long pipe runs this should be increased to 22 mm (refer to

para 1.17. for guidance). When using flexible plastic pipe it is essential that

the pipe is kept flat and not looped up at any point as this may lead to air

build up which may impair performance of the shower.
