PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

Plumbing connections
Plumbing to be carried out before wiring
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
DO NOT solder fittings near the shower unit
as heat can transfer along the pipework and
damage components.
Compression fittings MUST be used to connect
to the inlet of the shower.
Note: An additional stopvalve (complying with
Water Regulations) MUST be fitted in the mains
water supply to the shower as an independent
means of isolating the water supply should
maintenance or servicing be necessary.
IMPORTANT: Before completing the
connection of the water supply to the inlet
of the shower, and in compliance with Water
Regulations, flush out the pipework to remove
all swarf and system debris. This can be
done by connecting a hose to the pipework
and turning on the mains water supply long
enough to clear the debris to waste.
Procedure
Turn off the water supply either at the mains
stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve. Connect
the mains water supply to the inlet (fig.12) of
the shower via 15 mm copper, stainless steel
or plastic pipe using a 15 mm x 15 mm elbow
compression fitting. The plastic filter protrudes
from the inlet so check it is in place before
connection.
The compression fitting must be pushed fully
home onto the inlet to ensure full engagement.
Note: The inlet fitting is designed to enter a
compression fitting only. DO NOT use push
fit connectors as full engagement cannot be
guaranteed. DO NOT use excessive force when
making these connections.
Make sure the backplate is square on the wall
and tighten the three retaining screws which
hold it to the wall. Check the backplate is not
distorted when screws are fully tightened.
Turn on the mains water supply and check for
leaks in the pipework connection to the shower.
Note: At this stage no water can flow through
the unit.
