Installation: Ceiling Fed Deluge Head
Fix Deluge Head to the ceiling at a convenient height for all the family. Position so that water
sprays down over the centre of the bath, or away from the opening of a shower cubicle. The
fitting of the Deluge Head into the ceiling will be easier with two persons. When you are
working within the bath or shower tray area use a towel or blanket to protect the surface
from damage.

Decide on a suitable position for the Ceiling-Fed Arm avoiding cables and pipes
hidden between joists or rafters.
Note: A timber noggin or plywood plinth securely fixed to the joist should be
used to mount the Ceiling-Fed Arm.

Push the brass pipe through the
ceiling mount plate then push the
threaded end of the brass pipe down

Offer the ceiling-fed arm to the brass
pipe and determine the showering
height required. Push or pull the brass
pipe using a twisting motion to adjust
the height. Check the height is correct
and use a 15mm pipe cutter to cut the
pipe to the desired length.
Note: Cut the brass pipe at least
75mm above the ceiling mount plate
to allow room to fit the olive, nut
and elbow.
