If the top entries are chosen, remove the

If rear, bottom or side entries are chosen,
remove the relevant cable/pipe entry as shown
(fig.4b).

8. Your shower is provided with 3 wall-fixing
positions in the backplate.
The top-fixing hole is a 'key-hole' slot,
and should be marked and drilled first.
Tighten top screw with head protruding about
10mm from the wall and hook the backplate
over the screw head.
This allows for correct and accurate
alignment of your shower before marking
and fixing the bottom position.
You may wish to leave both screws at this
stage loose as the holes are elongated to
allow for adjustment after other connections
have taken place.
b. PLUMBING
WARNING:
ENSURE THAT THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY
MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS BELOW
BEFORE CONTINUING INSTALLATION.
The heater must be connected to the mains cold
water supply.
This must have a minimum running pressure of
100kPa (1.0 bar, 15 psi) at a minimum flow rate
of 8 litres/minute*.
The maximum static pressure must be no greater
than 1000kPa (10 bar, 150 psi).
* Minimum running pressure must be obtained at
9 litres/minute for 9.5kW.
WARNING:
BEFORE CONNECTING THE PIPE WORK TO
THE SHOWER, ENSURE THAT THE PIPE
WORK IS FULLY FLUSHED OUT.
1. It is recommended that a WRAS (Water
Regulations Advisory Scheme) listed
isolating valve is fitted to the incoming mains
cold water before the shower unit. (see page
14)
This will allow the unit to be serviced or
exchanged without having to turn off the
water at the water stop valve.
2. The water inlet connections are plain
Ø15mm straight shanks/shafts.
They will accept a Ø15mm compression
elbow (or a Ø15mm 'push-on elbow' in top or
rear entry only).
If rear entry is required, take the pipework
through wall or treat as top entry with an
additional 'Yorkshire' elbow (soldered type)
for fitting into the rear channel. (see fig.5)
Ø15mm copper or stainless steel pipe can
be used.
The unused pipe entry MUST be sealed
with the brass compression end cap
supplied.
In multiple installations, correct pipe work
sizes should be calculated to maintain
adequate flow to each shower.
3. It is permissible to use a WRAS (Water
Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved
sealant sparingly, avoiding excess finding its
way into the shower operating parts.
