Surface Mounting
1) If exposed pipework is the option chosen, the pipes enter the unit on the right
hand side with the cold at the top. The pipe centres are 40 mm apart, and need
to penetrate the mixer valve connections by a minimum of 22mm.
2) Position the unit on the wall and mark the fixing hole positions. Drill the wall, insert
the wall plugs supplied, and secure the unit to the wall. Make the necessary
measurements, remove the unit from the wall, and bring the pipework and wiring
to finished positions.
3) Make the hot water connection into the hot water supply pipe from the cylinder,
ensuring that it is the first draw off (below the expansion tee), to minimise the
effects of water drawn off elsewhere in the house, and a minimum of 1 metre below
the base of the cold water storage tank. If connection to the hot water supply pipe
is not possible, a cylinder flange type connection may be used as illustrated (Fig.2
Cylinder connection flange)
4) Make the cold water connection into the base of the cold water storage tank,
60mm below the level of the cold water take off to the hot water cylinder.
5) Flush out the pipework
6) Detach the pipe entry grommet and, using a sharp knife or similar, remove the centre
(15mm dia.) portions, and refit the grommet.
7) Fit the shower unit over the pipework, and insert the mains wiring through the
aperture at the top of the base moulding. Ensure that the supply pipes are fully
inserted into the mixer valve “push fit”connections, and fix the unit to the wall.
8) Connect the wiring in line with the polarity indications moulded into the base unit.
Recessed Fitting Pipework
1) If the pipework is to be recessed, it should be let into the wall with the ends of the
hot and cold pipes standing 40mm off the finished surface of the wall, and centres
40mm apart, with the cold above the hot. Connections to the hot and cold water
supplies should be made as described above, knocking out inlet holes in rear of
unit.
2) Position the unit on the wall with the inlet pipes centred in the holes in the rear of
the base moulding, mark the fixing screw positions on the wall and remove the unit.
3) Drill the fixing screw holes and insert the wall plugs supplied.
4) Cut the plastic inlet elbows supplied to 40mm long from the centre of the elbow
as illustrated (Fig 6), and remove any burrs from the cut end. Fit the cut
inlet elbows into the push-fit connectors on the shower mixer valve.
5) Flush out the pipework.
6) Fit the shower unit over the pipework, and insert the mains wiring through the
aperture at the top of the base moulding. Ensure that the supply pipes are fully
inserted into the inlet elbow “push fit”connections, and fix the unit to the wall
using the fixing screws supplied.
7) Connect the wiring in line with the polarity indications moulded into the base unit.
