This picture guide is supplementary and does not replace the installation instruction manual supplied
with the Easyfit+. Before starting installation please read all content provided with the Easyfit+.
Before starting check section 3 of the installation instructions supplied with the Recoup Easyfit+ for pre-installation
guidance on locating a suitable area for installation.
The Recoup Easyfit+ needs to be installed horizontally under the bath or the shower tray. Installation should take
place on a flat surface capable of supporting the WWHRS. The location should allow for access to all parts and allow
routine maintenance (E.g. Cleaning) to be carried out with relative ease.
The Recoup Easyfit+ must be located within the heating envelope of the building.
The Easyfit+ must be installed with consideration to the most recent 'Approved document – Part H of the
Building Regulations' for preventing the ingress of foul sewer gases.
Before starting the installation make sure you know which installation method is to be used. In a retrofitted installation
System B is the most common and will be the method primarily shown here. The Easyfit+ can also be installed with
the System A or System C installation method.
Use the images and instructions on the following pages to assist you with the installation process. Work down each
column following the numbered text below each corresponding image. An installation video can also be found on our
