SITING OF THE SHOWER POLE
Refer to fig.7 for correct siting of the shower.
Position the shower pole on the wall so that all
controls can be comfortably reached while using
the shower.
The unit must be positioned horizontally with
the outlet port at the bottom.
INSTALLATION
General
Note: The outlet of the shower MUST NOT
be connected to anything other than that
recommended by Triton Plc.
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
DO NOT solder fittings near the mixer unit
as heat transfer can damage the seals and
thermostatic components.
Note: Suitable service valves (complying with
Water Regulations and Bylaws) MUST be fitted
on the hot and cold water supplies to the
shower as an independent means of isolating
the water supplies should maintenance or
servicing be necessary.
When connecting the pipework, avoid using
tight 90° elbows. Swept or formed bends will
give the best performance.
Inlet connectors
The supply pipes can be routed either from
the side, rising, rear or falling and must end in
suitable fittings (fig.8) to accept the offset inlet
connector.
The inlet centres on the shower valves are
150 mm but with the inlet connectors an
additional 20 mm adjustment is provided.

Due to the weight of the shower
pole, it is advisable to have a second
person support the unit during the
fitting procedure.
