Siting Of The Shower - Wickes Aquatronic 4 Ultra Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

SITING OF THE SHOWER

Siting of the shower
ImporTAnT: If installing onto a tiled wall
always mount the unit on the surface of the
tiles. NEVER tile up to the unit.
Refer to fig. for the correct siting of the
shower. Position the unit where it will NOT be in
direct contact with water from the showerhead.
Position the shower unit vertically.
Allow enough room between the ceiling and the
shower to access the cover top screws. Leave
enough space between the left-hand side of the
unit and the wall to allow access to the pressure
relief device (PRD) in the future.
note: Water regulations require the showerhead
be 'constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment
so that it can only discharge water at a point
not less than 25 mm above the spill-over level
of the relevant bath, shower tray or other
fixed appliance'. The use of the supplied gel
hanger/hose guide will in most cases meet this
requirement, but if the showerhead can be
placed within a bath, basin or shower tray, then
a double check valve, or similar, must be fitted in
the supply pipework to prevent back-flow.
Pressure relief safety device
A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed into the
shower unit which complies with European
standards. The PRD provides a level of appliance
protection should an excessive build up of
pressure occur within the shower.
Do not operate the shower with a damaged or
kinked shower hose, or a blocked showerhead
which can cause the PRD to operate.
When commissioning, the showerhead must be
removed from the flexible hose, while at the
P-001-A
same time the temperature control must be at
the minimum flow position. Failure to follow this
procedure may also cause the PRD to operate.
Make sure the shower is positioned over a bath
or shower tray because if the PRD operates, then
water will eject from the bottom of the unit.
Should this happen, turn off the electricity and
water supplies to the shower at the isolating
switch and stopvalve. Contact Customer Service
for advice on replacing the PRD.
