INSTALLATION Note The outlet of the shower MUST NOT be connected to anything other than the showerhead supplied DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe fittings for the installation DO NOT solder fittings near the mixer unit as heat can transfer along pipework and damage components Note Suitable service valves complying with Water Regulations and Byelaws 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 Straight fittings The supply pipes can be routed either from the side rising rear or falling and must end in suitable fittings fig 9 to accept the long thread connectors The straight connectors can be used to connect to BSP female elbow fittings in solid wall installations The inlet centres on the shower valves must be aligned horizontally and centred to 150mm The hot and cold supply pipes must be anchored rigidly to support the valve and to prevent any movement after installation If installing in hollow walls or laminate cubicles fittings are supplied to compress onto the wall to support the mixer valve fig 10 Ve Fig 8 diagrammatic view not to scale Showerhead can be mounted either side of the mixer Height of showerhead to suit
