Plumbing
1. The plumbing installation must comply with all national or local
water regulations and all relevant building regulations, or any
particular regulation or practice specied by the local water
supply company.
2. DO NOT install the product in a position in which service access
is limited.
3. Decide on a suitable position for the shower (minimum distance
of 200 mm from the ceiling to allow for cover t and removal).
4. The position of the shower and shower ttings must provide a
minimum gap of 25 mm between the showerhead and the spill
over level of any bath, shower tray or basin and a minimum gap
of 30 mm between the showerhead and the spill over level of any
toilet, bidet or other appliance with a Fluid Category 5 backow
risk (see diagram on next page).
5. The shower is suitable for installation within the shower area
and is tted with a pressure relief valve. It must be positioned
over a water catchment area with the controls at a convenient
height for the user.
6. The shower must be tted to a waterproof at and even wall
surface.
7. DO NOT t the shower to the wall and tile up to the case.
8. DO NOT seal the gap between the shower and the wall surface.
9. The showerhead should be positioned so that it discharges
down the centre line of the bath or across the opening of a
shower cubicle.
10. The showerhead must be directed away from the shower unit,
during normal use the showerhead must not spray directly on
to the shower unit.
11. DO NOT apply excessive force to plumbing connections; always
provide mechanical support when making plumbing connections.
Any soldered joints should be made before connecting the
shower.
12. This shower is not designed to be plumbed directly from the
rear. For rear-entry supply, add an elbow to the supply pipe and
connect as a rising or a falling supply.
13. If pipework and/or electrical cables enter the shower from the
rear through a hole in the wall provision must be made to prevent
water ingress back into the wall structure.
14. This shower is intended to be permanently connected to the
mains water supply, only use the inlet connection supplied with
the shower. DO NOT use any other type of tting.
15. A full bore/non restrictive servicing valve must be tted in a
readily accessible position adjacent to the shower to facilitate
maintenance of the shower. DO NOT use a valve with a loose
washer plate (jumper) as this can lead to a build up of static
pressure.
16. A water treatment device should be installed where the water
hardness may exceed 200 ppm. Malfunctions caused by
excessive limescale formation are not covered by this shower’s
guarantee (see back page for details).
17. The installation must not cause the hose to be sharply kinked
during normal use.
18. For wall structures such as panels alternative xings may be
required. A minimum of 3 xing screws should be used.
19. DO NOT perform the electrical installation until the plumbing
has been completed and checked for leaks.

these instances an outlet double checkvalve must be tted, this will
increase the required supply pressure typically by 10kPa (0.1 bar).
Double checkvalves tted in the inlet supply to the appliance cause
a pressure build up, which affect the maximum static inlet pressure
for the appliance and must not be tted. For Fluid category 5 double
checkvalves are not suitable.

Warning! Isolate the electrical and water supplies before
installing the shower.
Remove the three screws that
hold the cover on and remove
the cover.

incoming water supply.
DO NOT stretch or trap the
earth wire.
Secure the shower to the wall
with appropriate wall xings.
Thoroughly ush the supply
pipe.
Determine the direction and
route of the incoming water
supply: falling (entering the
shower from the top), or rising
(entering the shower from the
bottom).
Note! DO NOT use an
incoming supply entering the
shower directly from the back.
Add an elbow to the supply
pipe and connect it as a rising
or falling supply.
unit are adequate for the additional demand.
3. The shower must be earthed. Ensure any supplementary

5. DO NOT supply any other electrical equipment including
extractor fans or pumps via this product.
6. This shower must be provided with means for local disconnection
that is incorporated into the xed wiring in accordance with the
relevant local wiring regulations. This must be a double pole
switch, which has at least 3 mm contact separation in each pole.
The switch can be a ceiling mounted pull-cord type within the
shower room or a wall mounted switch tted in the applicable
zone area.
7. For new installations a 30 mA Residual Current Device (RCD)
must be incorporated into the electrical supply to the shower in
accordance with the current wiring regulations. When replacing
an existing electric shower we recommend that a 30 mA RCD
is incorporated in accordance with current wiring regulations if
not already provided.
8. DO NOT apply excessive force to the terminal block.
9. All electrical connections should be checked for tightness to
