Electric shower
PLUMBING INSTALLATION
Plumbing must 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 transfer along the pipework and
damage components.
Compression fittings MUST be used to connect
to the inlet of the shower (fig.7). Push-on
fittings must NOT be used as full engagement
cannot be guaranteed.
If installing a feed pipe from the back or
bottom, the centre of the inlet valve to the wall
surface is 21mm (fig.7).
NOTE: If entry is from the back, the nut
of the compression fitting will be partially
behind the surface of the wall. This area
MUST be left clear when plastering and tiling
around the pipework in order to make the
nut accessible for future adjustments.
NOTE: An additional stopvalve (complying
with Water Regulations) must be fitted in
the mains water supply to the shower as an
independent means of isolating the water
supply should maintenance or servicing be
necessary. If this isolator is fitted in a loft
space, the loft must have a fixed access ladder
and be boarded, with appropriate lighting
from the access point to the isolator.
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.
FITTING TO THE WALL
Pipe/Electrical Access Points
If bottom or right surface entry is required for the
mains cold water, then the necessary opening
will need to be cut out in the cover and the
trimplate (fig.8).
If surface cable entry from the top is required
then a small area will need to be cut out in the
backplate (fig.9).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

must not be connected to anything other
than the hose and shower head supplied.
