Plumbing Connections
Plumbing to 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 travel along pipework and damage
components.
Compression fittings MUST be used to connect
to the inlet of the shower.
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 in order to carry out
maintenance or servicing.
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.
Procedure
Turn off the water supply either at the mains
stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve. Connect the
mains water supply to the Inlet of the shower
via 15 mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe
using a 15 mm x 15 mm compression fitting, see
(fig.10) for advice on Rear Entry fitting.

Note: If installing a feed pipe from the
back, the use of a soldered Elbow connector
is recommended. It should be positioned
approximately 105 mm from the inlet
connector centre. The centre of the inlet
valve to the wall surface is 21 mm.
