SHOWERFORCE 911-M SHOWER VALVE
Fitting your Shower
• Determine the position at which the mixer valve is to be installed. This is normally
chest height, - approximately 1 - metre above the bath base or shower tray.
• If the pipework is to be concealed, or the valve is to be recessed, the pipes should
be installed at this time.
• If surface mounting the valve with concealed pipework, the pipes must terminate
15mm above the finished wall surface.
• If the valve is to be recessed, a channel must be prepared for the valve and
pipework, approximately 140 mm wide and between 40 and 60 mm deep, with
the pipework terminating at 96 mm centres.
• In all cases the pipes should be installed with the hot supply on the right hand
side viewed from the front. If the pipework is reversed, a "reverse indice" may be
obtained from Showerforce Customer Service department.
• Before commencing installation, remove the retaining ring and shroud, and
identify all components using the illustration and parts list.

• Remove the inlet elbows (1) from the valve body (2) and, using a few turns of PTFE tape
to seal, refit in the final position for the required pipework entry, i.e. top, bottom or rear.
Using PTFE tape to seal, screw the shorter (chamfered) end of the outlet nipple (3) into
the valve body.
• Position the wall bracket (4) against the wall and mark the two upper fixing holes on
the wall. Drill the wall at the marked positions, and insert the wall plugs supplied. Fix
the wall bracket and valve using the screws supplied.
NOTE.
• The wall bracket is used for top, bottom or concealed (rear) pipe connection. The two
inlet caps should be pulled off the bracket for top and bottom feed – the illustration
shows the position for bottom feed, it must be turned through 180 degrees for top
feed. For concealed entry, the inlet caps should be left in position as received, and the
bracket fixed to the wall as for bottom pipe entry.
• Bring the inlet pipework to the valve. Flush out the pipework and connect using the
15mm compression nuts and olives supplied.
• Place the shroud (5) over the valve with the apertures in appropriate positions to
accommodate the inlet pipework and outlet nipple. If the valve has concealed inlet
pipes, ensure that the pegs on the inlet caps locate correctly in the holes in the shroud.
• With the shroud in place, screw the retaining ring (6) onto the valve body, fit the handle
(7) to the shaft, and secure using the screw supplied (8).
• Insert the indice (9) into the recess in the handle and press into place.
• Fit the outlet cap into the hole in the top of the shroud. The wide, raised slot in the
cap fits into the rear (wall side) slot in the shroud hole.
