IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Important! The shower trays featured in this manual are available for use as

riser and non-riser products.

The shower waste can cope with a ow rate of up to 25 L/min, with a pipe length

of 3 m for 40 mm pipe and 4 m for 50 mm pipe, with a fall of between 18 and

90 mm/m. The ow rate will be reduced with the introduction of bends or T ttings

in the waste outlet pipe.
Carefully unpack and check the tray for colour, size, general acceptability and

compatibility with the shower enclosure and other bathroom furniture.
Check for transit damage and report any faults immediately to your supplier.

No claims for the above will be considered after installation.

Carefully remove all of the blue protective lm from the tray for inspection.

Caution! Additional protective coverings such as a dust sheet should then be
used to protect the tray from damage from falling objects.

Place the shower tray on a at surface and using a spirit level check that it
is straight and at and that the shower cubicle will sit on its surface correctly
when tted.

Once the waste pipe has been connected pour water into the tray to check the

tray and pipe connection for correct drainage prior to nal x and tiling.

2

Due to the physical nature of water, small pockets of water may remain on

EN 14527 - CL1 + CL2

the shower tray after showering. We recommend that both the tray and the
enclosure are wiped down with a dry cloth after use.

We recommend this tray is tted as part of a fully enclosed cubical. If this tray
is tted as a walk-in installation, it is expected that an amount of water will spill
onto the open area of the oor. We would therefore advise xing a threshold

strip to minimize this.
Fitting this product is acceptance of quality.

Notication to designers, installers and users:

The majority of all shower trays will show an increase in the potential for
slipping, when the surface is wet. This is particularly the case when soap,

shampoo, bath oil etc. are used. The Construction Products Directive (89/106/

EEC).

Warning! The Mira Flight 760 and 800 variants weigh less than 25 kg and are

a ‘one‑person‑lift’. All other Mira Flight tray variants weigh in excess of 25 kg
and will require a ‘two‑person‑lift’.

Guarantee

Mira Showers guarantee the Mira Flight Tray against any defect in materials or
workmanship for a period of ten years from the date of purchase.

For terms and conditions refer to the back cover of this guide.

INSTALLATION

Please read these instructions carefully before starting the installation
procedure.

Important Notes

1. It is recommended that the shower tray is installed before tiling. This will make

sure that the tray is rebated into the plaster behind where the tile face will be,
thus helping to achieve a watertight joint.

2. With a rebate or partial rebate the amount of adjustment on the enclosure could

be affected. Therefore make sure that the enclosure to be tted has sufcient

adjustment to mate with the shower tray.

3. A waste with an 85 mm diameter ange must be used with these shower trays

as supplied.

The rst step of the installation is to decide whether you need a non-riser or riser
installation for your tray. To nd out answer these simple questions.

1. If the oor is out of level by 1/4” (6 mm) or more across the

tray length the installation of a riser tray is recommended

2. Can a hole be made to t the waste into
the oor/timber/between the joists

YES NO

Non‑Riser Installation

1. Carefully remove all of the blue protective lm from the tray for inspection.

Caution! Additional protective coverings such as a dust sheet should then be

used to protect the tray from damage from falling objects.

2. Fit the 85 mm top access waste (supplied) to the tray before setting down being
careful not to overtighten. Make sure that the seal is in place. Additional beads
of silicone sealant must be used (refer to Figure 1).

Note! To tighten, remove the Shower Grid from the Flange and turn it upside

down. Locate it into the slots on the ange and tighten in a clockwise direction.
Remove and ret the Shower Grid to it’s original position.

3. Position the tray up to the walls and rebate into the plaster as required, refer
to section: ‘Installation, Rebating the Shower Tray’. Remove the tray from
its position.

4. Make sure that the oor is clean, dry, rm and level. Coat the ribbed underside
of the tray with silicone sealant, a tiling cement or a weak mix of sand and

cement (5:1). Then press down into place ensuring the tray is positioned into
rebates.

Note! Where the tray comes into contact with the wall or plaster board surface,

apply a liberal amount of silicone sealant before installation. This will help secure
the tray in position and reduce any rubbing of the surfaces.

5. Make sure that the tray is level.

Note! The bottom of the shower tray has a built in fall to allow for correct

drainage. Therefore check the edges of the tray with a spirit level (refer to
Figure 2).

bead of silicone sealant, refer to section: ‘Installation, Rebating the Shower
Tray’.

Riser Installation

1. Carefully remove all of the blue protective lm from the tray for inspection.

Attention should then be paid to effectively cover the tray to protect from
damage.

2. Spots on the adjustable leg mouldings are provided to help set equal heights.
Set the adjustable legs to the third spot from the bottom, this will give the initial
clearance for the waste supplied.

Note! Do not adjust the legs above the fourth spot as this will be too high to

accommodate the riser panel.

3. Fit the adjustable legs into the holes on the back of the tray.

Note! A soft faced mallet can be used to aid installation.

4. Temporarily t the waste outlet pipework and the trap to the tray. Adjust the

height of the feet to give the required clearance.

Note! The feet must be adjusted so that the shower tray does not rock.

5. Position the tray up to the walls and rebate the tray into the plaster (as required),

refer to section: ‘Installation, Rebating the Shower Tray’.

Note! Where the tray comes into contact with the wall or plaster board surface,

apply a liberal amount of silicone sealant before installation. This will help secure
the tray in position and reduce any rubbing of the surfaces.

6. Make sure that the tray is level.

Note! The bottom of the shower tray has a built in fall to allow for correct

drainage, therefore check the edges of the tray with a spirit level (refer to
Figure 2). If necessary adjust the height of the feet so that the tray is level in
all directions.

7. Once the tray is level - tighten the individual lock nuts on the leg sets and check

the tray is rm and secure.

8. Tighten the waste being careful not to overtighten. Make sure that the seal is in
place, additional beads of silicone sealant must be used (refer to Figure 1).

9. Connect the waste pipe.

10. Seal the joint between the shower tray and adjoining wall with silicone sealant

to provide a secondary seal.

11. The area is now ready for tiling.

12. The 3 mm gap between the tiling and the shower tray must be lled with a

bead of silicone sealant, refer to section: ‘Installation, Rebating the Shower
Tray’.
