Important Installation Considerations
1. NOTE: Some showers may not provide an effective shower when used
with gravity fed heated water systems or where pressures are less
than 150kPa at the outlet. Additionally showers with flow rates of less
than 9L/min may not allow the following to function correctly:
_ some instantaneous water heaters
_ some tempering valves
_ some thermostatic mixing valves
2. Some shower heads only operate correctly when hot and cold water
supplies are both mains pressure and may not be suitable for some
instantaneous hot water services.
3. When water pressure is in excess of 500kPa a pressure limiting device
is required in accordance with AS/NZS 3500 1.12 recommendation
