1. Provide a stud or other suitable fi xing in the
shower wall on which to mount the shower valve
Shower head at about eye level (between 1.5 and

1.8 metres) is a good guide. Ensure distance from
mounting face to front of wall lining is 45mm.

2. Flush out pipework. Mount shower valve
assembly and secure with two wood screws
provided. It is important that the pipes which are
now connected directly to the isolator valves on
each side of the shower valve assembly line up
correctly with the isolators and do not place any
unnecessary strain on the valve assembly. Ensure
isolators are open, (turn anticlockwise).
Do not apply heat to pipes connected to the mixer
as internal damage may occur.

Note: When tightening crox nuts it is important to
hold the hexagon face to prevent any strain on the
isolator. Do not attempt to tighten or rem

the brass nipple from the isolator. This has
been installed with correct pre-loading at the
factory and any alteration may cause damage

to the isolator.

3. Cut an access hole in the wallboard to suit the
shape of the wallplate using the template provided.

4. Position the wallplate over the valve outlet and

screws alternately until wallplate is fi rmly clamped

showerhead stem will ensure a watertight
seal. Tape or hemp on the thread is not
necessary or desirable.

7. CHECK OPERATION. When installed check
that the handle swins from right to left from
OFF to HOT. Total movement is about 130°.

SHOWER HEAD

Your Feltonmix shower head is manufactured
from self-cleaning plastic materials and cleaning
with a soft nylon brush and bathroom cleaners is
usually suffi cient.

If dismantling is required, insert the two leg’s
of the Feltonmix spanner into the face
of the rose. Turn the rose approximately
thirty degrees and withdraw it from the
shower head body.

When assembling ensure that the sharp
outer edge of the soft spray ring is
located at the front edge of its support
ring. Align the assembly pips on the front face
of the rose and lip of the body. Push them together
until they click twice.
