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 travel along pipework and
damage components.
Compression fittings MUST be used to
connect to the inlet of the shower.
Note: We recommended that a WRAS (Water
Regulations Advisory Scheme) listed isolating
valve be fitted between the rising main and
the unit. This will allow the unit to be serviced
without having to turn off the house water at
the stop valve.
The unit can be connected to the mains
COLD water supply. This must have a
minimum running pressure of 0.07 MPa
(0.7bar / 10 p.s.i.) and a maximum pressure
of 1MPa (10bar / 145 p.s.i.).
This unit can be fed from a header tank
provided this has a minimum head of 7 metres
(23ft).

IMPORTANT: Before completing the
connection of the water supply to the inlet of the
shower, flush out the pipework to remove all
swarf and system debris. This can be achieved
by connecting a hose to the pipework and
turning on the mains water supply long enough
to clear the debris to waste.
A blockage in the waterways (particularly the spray
plate of the handset and solenoid valve) will prevent
the unit from working correctly.
The shower is designed to have an open outlet and
should ONLY be used with the fittings recommended
by the manufacturer.
Installation Procedure
Turn off the water supply either at the mains
stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve.
For ease of access to the inlet fitting the right hand
side of the shower has a removable inlet cover. See
Diagram 1. Also remove the backplate side access
trimplate shown in Diagram 1.
