details can be found on the back cover of
this guide.

enjoy the full potential of your new product, please

Mira ECO adjustable shower fi ttings are designed
to give a satisfactory shower over a range
of pressures. These fittings are suitable for
pressures between 0.5 and 5.0 bar and are
available in chrome or white fi nishes.

General

1. Make sure that the shower fi ttings are installed

by a competent installer.

2. Installations must comply with Water Regulations
(Bye-Laws, Scotland), and any other Local
Regulations and Building Regulations in force
at the time of installation.

3. Before installation carefully inspect the new
fi xture for any signs of damage.

4. The shower fi ttings should be positioned at a
convenient height for all the family. Position
the fi ttings to spray across rather then towards
the opening of the cubicle and also away from
the shower control. Avoid layouts where the
shower hose will be sharply kinked. This may
reduce the life of the hose.

5. A hose retaining ring is supplied to prevent
the showerhead from dropping below the spill
over level of the bath or shower, which could
lead to contamination from backsiphonage.
The supplied hose retaining ring should meet
the great majority of user requirements for
shower installations with fl exible outlet fi ttings.
However, there will be occasions when the
hose retaining ring will not provide a suitable
solution. In these instances an outlet double
check valve, e.g. the Mira DCV-H, must be
fi tted. The inclusion of the Mira DCV-H will
increase the required supply pressure typically
by 0.1 bar.

6. Special consideration should be given to the
fi xing arrangements when installing onto a
dry lined, stud partition, shower cubicle or
laminated panel wall structures. Installers may
wish to obtain alternative proprietary cavity
fi xings, or choose other options, however,
these methods of fi xing are beyond the scope
of this guide.
