Stud Partition Or Dry Partition Wall Structures - Mira Gem 88 Installation & User Manual

2. Stud partition or dry partition wall structures

The support bracket (from Mira stocklist as an optional accessory) has been designed
to allow the shower control to be installed into the front face of a stud partition wall
and is recommended for this type of installation. However, installers may wish to
consider other options such as fabricated rear supports using wooden noggins,
however, these methods of fixing are beyond the scope of this guide.
The building-in depth (to the finished wall surface) is between 50 and 68 mm. The
building-in depth dictates how much of the flow and temperature control knob will be
visible through the concealing plate when the installation is completed. The bracket
must be fixed into a wall recess at an angle of 45
2.1 Cut a 135 mm diameter hole in the
panel and mark the fixing holes for the
support bracket (if used) at 45
Make sure that the building-in depth is
correct.
2.2 Remove the plastic building-in shroud.

screws should be screwed temporarily
into the backplate for use later.
