4. Water Requirements

Mains water
supply
Hose retainer
Bath spillover
level
This shower needs to be installed in
accordance with the following Installation
Requirements and Notes (IRN) to ensure
they meet the requirements of the Water
Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999
and the Scottish Byelaws 2004.
It is required that the showerhead be
constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment
so that it can only discharge water at a point
not less than 25mm above the spill-over level
of the relevant bath, shower tray or other
fixed appliance
If the riser kit is supplied with a 'soapdish
hose retainer' or bespoke 'hose retainer', it
will in most cases meet this requirement. If
the showerhead can still be placed within a
bath, basin or shower tray within the 25mm
limit, then a double check valve, or similar,
MUST be fitted in the supply pipework to
prevent back-flow.

Minimum 25mm

and spillover
1m minimum
height from

floor
If the shower is to be installed in a hard water
area, we recommend that an in-line scale
inhibitor is fitted which will prolong the life of
the shower. Please refer to your supplier for
advice.
WARNING!
Do not operate the shower unit if
you suspect the water inside is
frozen. The shower must not be
installed in an area subject to
freezing conditions.
The shower must be connected to a mains
water supply only with a minimum working
inlet pressure of 0.07MPa (0.7bar) at a
minimum flow rate of 8 litres per minute. The
maximum static inlet pressure must not
exceed 1.0MPa (10bar).
If it is intended to operate the shower at
pressures above the maximum stated, a
suitable pressure reducing device (PRD)
should be used.
