a.

Fixing the shower to the wall

1. Position the riser rail at a convenient height for majority of users as detailed in diagram 6 and mark its position
5. Decide the position of the electrical cable to the unit.
If top or bottom entry is chosen (according to diagram 5),
cut away the walls in the backplate as shown in diagram 7.
6. Decide the position of entry of the cold water pipe into the unit.
If top, cut away the backplate.
If rear, please read the section on plumbing.
If bottom, remove the front cover (complete with knobs) and cut away the
detachable corner section as shown,
7. If you have not yet done so, remove the front cover (complete with knobs)
of the unit by undoing the retaining screws at the top and bottom of the
unit and lifting the cover off.
Your shower is provided with 2 fixing positions in the backplate (see
diagram 5).
The top-fixing hole is a "key-hole" slot (another key-hole is provided for
alternate fixing), 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 not wish to tighten up both screws at this stage as the holes are elongated to allow for adjustment after
other connections have taken place.
2. Position the heater so that the top of the unit is horizontal and level with, or up
to 0.6 metres (2ft) maximum below the top of the riser rail.
Choose a flat piece of wall to avoid the possibility of distorting the backplate thus
making the front cover a poor fit.
3. Adjust the position to get the most convenient arrangement taking the following
into account.
•
The possible need to use the handset over the sink for hair washing etc.
•
The heater must not be mounted in the direct spray from the handset.
•
The handset must not be able to come into contact with used water in the
cubicle, bath or basin. If it can, even after the hose has been retained by the
soap dish (see diagram 11), then a vacuum breaker must be fitted.
It should be noted that these devices are liable to minor leakage so they
must be positioned so that any drips are not detrimental.
4. Fix the riser rail with screws provided. The fixing holes at the base of the
brackets will be disclosed by removing the plastic fronts. Assemble as shown in
diagram 11. Additional "knock-out" slots are available if required to improve
security. The soap dish has a removable insert for ease of cleaning.
