Tools and Materials
Before You Begin
Installation Sequence For a successful installation of this unique product, it is critical that you
follow the installation sequence to prevent costly repairs and rework.
Water Supply Requirements The showering tower is a high-flow water product that requires
dedicated 3/4 water supply lines.
Water Pressure Requirements For optimum performance, we recommend a minimum of 45 psi
(3.16 kg/cm2) running water pressure. For installations where the water pressure is inadequate,
consider installing a booster pump.
Hot Water Supply We recommend a hot water system capable of providing hot water equivalent
to, or greater than a First Hour Rating (FHR) of 80 gallons (302.8 L). Consult with your water heater
manufacturer’s recommendations to achieve a FHR of 80 gallons (302.8 L). A FHR of 80 gallons
(302.8 L) is equivalent to a typical dedicated 80 gallon (302.8 L) electric water heater.
Avoid Damage Remove your rings, wristwatch, and any other items which may accidentally
scratch or damage the tower or shower door surfaces during installation.
Tower Support For a safe and durable installation, ensure that the wall at the installation location
is adequately reinforced.
Tower Installation Considerations Install the tower to a flat wall surface. Because the shower
arms pivot to the sides, make sure there are no walls or accessories located perpendicular to the
tower within 22 (56 cm) of the tower center.
Ventilation A good ventilation system is recommended to maintain an acceptable humidity level
in you bathroom while this product is in use.
Shower Enclosure A minimum shower enclosure size of 50 (127 cm) side-to-side, by 42 (106.7
cm) deep, by 94 (238.8 cm) high is recommended.
Product Inspection Carefully unpack and inspect all the components for damage. To protect
against damage, return all components to the carton until ready to install.
