PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Plumbing to be carried out before wiring
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
DO NOT use soldered 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.
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, and in compliance with
Water Regulations, 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 15mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe
using a 15mm x 15mm compression fitting.
Note: The inlet fitting is designed to enter a
compression fitting only.
DO NOT use push
fit connectors as full engagement cannot be
guaranteed.
DO NOT use excessive force when making these
connections.
Check that the backplate is square on the wall
and tighten the two retaining screws which hold
it to the wall.
Turn on the mains water supply and check for
leaks in the pipework connection to the shower.
Note: At this stage no water can flow through
the unit.
WARNING!
The outlet of the shower acts as a
vent and must not be connected to
anything other than the hose and
showerhead supplied.
