The

flow/temperature control.
Your shower is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water pressure fluctuations.
These can result from toilets being flushed or taps being turned on and off.
When this happens your showering temperature will be held within a controlled band, provided that
the minimum pressure required by the shower is maintained (see “Effect of Other Water Devices”).
1. Your shower has been designed for convenience, economy and safety of use, provided that it is
installed, used and maintained in good working order and in accordance with our instructions and
recommendations.

This appliance is intended to be permanently connected to the fixed electrical wiring of the mains
supply with its own dedicated supply.
5. This appliance must NOT be fitted where it may be subjected to freezing conditions
6. DO NOT switch the appliance on if you suspect it of being frozen.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Diagram 1a
WARNING: ALL WIRING AND INSTALLATION MUST BE
SUPERVISED BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS SHOWER WHERE IT MAY BE
SUBJECTED TO FREEZING CONDITIONS
We recommend that the installation is done in the following sequence.
a. Fixing the shower to the wall b. Plumbing c. Electrical connections
a. FIXING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL
1. Position the riser rail at a convenient height for majority of users
as detailed in Diagram 1 and mark its position.
2. Position the heater so that the top of the unit is horizontal and
level with, or a maximum of 0.6 metres (2ft) below the
top of the riser rail.
The heater MUST BE installed on a flat surface that extends
beyond the boundary of the unit in ALL directions.
3. Adjust the position to get the most convenient arrangement taking
the following into account.
The heater must not be mounted in the direct spray of the handset.
The handset must not be able to come into contact with used water in the cubicle,
bath or basin. If it can, even after the hose has been retained by the retaining ring
(see Diagram 8 on page 9), then a vacuum breaker must be fitted.
4. Fix the riser rail with screws provided.
The fixing holes at the base of the brackets will be revealed by removing the plastic fronts.
Assemble as shown in Diagram 8 on page 9.
5. Decide the position of the electrical cable into the unit.
If top or bottom entry is chosen, cut away the walls in the backplate as shown in Diagram 2a/b.
6. Decide the position of entry of the cold water pipe into the unit.
If top, cut away the backplate.
If rear, please read the section on plumbing.
If bottom or side, remove the front cover and carefully cut away the detachable corner section
as shown in Diagram 2a, taking care to remain within the guide mark.

7. If you have not yet done so, remove the front cover assembly by undoing the retaining screws at
the top and bottom of the unit and lifting the cover off.
Your shower is provided with 2 fixing positions in the backplate (see Diagram 7 on page 9).
The top-fixing hole is a “key-hole” slot (another key-hole is provided for alternate fixing), and
should be marked and drilled first.
Tighten top screw with head protruding about 10mm from the wall and hook the backplate over
the screw head. This allows for correct and accurate alignment of your shower before marking
and fixing the bottom position.
You may not wish to tighten up both screws at this stage as the holes are elongated to allow for
adjustment after other connections have taken place.
b. PLUMBING
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS
BELOW BEFORE CONTINUING WITH INSTALLATION
The heater must be connected to the mains cold water supply.
This must have a minimum running pressure of 69kPa (0.7 bar, 10 psi) and a maximum pressure
of 690kPa (7.0 bar, 100 psi).
WARNING: BEFORE CONNECTING THE PIPE WORK TO THE SHOWER, ENSURE THAT THE
PIPE WORK IS FULLY FLUSHED OUT.
1. Unscrew the “Red Cap” from the shower outlet pipe and discard it in a suitable manner.
This has been used to seal the shower during transit, and is no longer required.
2. It is recommended that a WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) listed isolating valve is
fitted to the incoming mains cold water before the shower unit.
This will allow the unit to be serviced or exchanged without having to turn off the water at the
water stop valve.
3. The heater can be fed from a header tank provided this has a minimum head of 7 metres (23ft).
4. Ø15mm copper or stainless steel pipe should be used.
The water inlet connection supplied is a plain Ø15mm straight shank/shaft.
This connector will accept either a Ø15mm compression elbow or a Ø15mm “push-on elbow”.
If rear entry is required, take the pipe directly through the wall in the area provided or treat as
top entry with an additional “Yorkshire” elbow (soldered type) for fitting into the rear channel.
In multiple installations, correct pipe work sizes should be calculated to maintain adequate flow
to each shower.
5. It is ONLY permissible to use a WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved sealant on
the pipework before an isolation valve as any excess after the valve will find its way into the
shower operating parts.
6. With isolating valve connected, flush the pipe work through to remove any particles etc,
before making the final connection to the shower.
Blockages in the water ways (particularly the handset and solenoid valve) will prevent the heater
working properly.
Note: You may be charged for a service call if it is due to incorrect installation.
