Flush the plumbing system before installing the shower. This is to
remove plumbing residues. This is especially important where
extensive plumbing work has been carried out.
The Hot supply should be on the left when viewed from the front
of the fit ting.
We recommend hot and cold supplies should have conveniently
plac
ed isolating valves to accommodate any servicing
requirements.
If the bottom outlet is being utilized for a hand shower, rain bar,
or body sprays and the showerhead on the
top outlet is being used at the same time, it
is possible that there may be a temperature
variation between the outlets. If you need
to run two functions at once, the system
should be designed using only one outlet.
Plea
se ensure that the installation complies
with the local plumbing codes.
When fitting U3556, U3552 or U3552LS
they should be positioned to allow an air
gap of 2” above the tub rim (see diagram).
Check compliance with local plumbing
codes.

Hood Removal. See figure 1.
Undo the three grub screws on
the underside of the body
using a 3mm AF Allen key. Do
not completely remove the screws. Detach the hood from the body by
gently pulling on the temperature control lever using an up and down
rocking motion until the hood is free. Place to one side to prevent
damage.
Temperature adjustment. See figure 2.
Temperature adjustments should be carried out while the shower is
running.
The pre-set temperature setting
position is indicated by a black
dot or hole on the brass
spindle, which should

be in line with the groove in the
top of the plastic cartridge body.
If it is not in the pre-set
position rotate the cartridge
spindle by hand until it is. Should the required Shower temperature be
different to this setting it can be adjusted by, slowly rotating by hand
clockwise to give a colder shower, slowly rotating by hand
anticlockwise to give a hotter shower. The cartridge has a limited
of less than half a turn in either direction, do not rotate the
rotation
spindle more than this as it would cause permanent damage to the
cartridge. Do not use a screwdriver in the screw on the end of the
cartridge spindle to rotate the spindle.
Re-assembly - The re-assembly of the hood is the reverse of the

Cartridge Replacement. See figure 3.
Should it be apparent that the cartridge is at fault (ie) unable to adjust
the temperature, it can be replaced by using the following procedure.
Before attempting to remove the cartridge ensure that both hot &

position.

spindle from the cartridge. Undo and remove the large brass locking
nut from around the plastic cartridge body. Remove the alignment pin
situated in a groove between the underside of the cartridge and the
shower body. Pull the cartridge from the shower body, using a pair of
grips or adjustable spanner on the two flat sides of the plastic
cartridg
e body, with a side to
side turning motion to
release the three O’ring
seals. A small amount of
water that is retained in the
shower body will fall out as
the seals are released.
Before replacing the cartridge
ensure that the bore of the
shower body is free from any
dirt and debris.

SECTION 3
Supply fault / failure. See figure 4.
In order to determine and eliminate a supply fault or failure it will be
necessary to remove the shower body from the installation. BEFORE
TEMPTING TO REMOVE THE SHOWER BODY ENSURE THAT BOTH HOT
AT
AND COLD SUPPLIES ARE ISOLATED.
Take extreme care when working not to damage any of the finished
parts by protecting surfaces of tools with masking/insulating tape.
Undo the supply union nuts and slide them away as far as possible.
Undo the riser joint, slide the nut away from the joint and temporarily
secure out of the way with masking/insulating tape. As soon as the
is broken on the riser joint water will flow from the joint and the
seal
shower outlet connected to the riser. Undo, but do not remove, the
grub screw in the backplate using a 2.5mm AF Allen Key.
Pull the shower body slowly forward, to release body from backplate,
and slowly downwards, to release riser joint. Remove body completely
from installation. Place to one side to prevent damage. The seal
the supply union and the shower body is made with an ‘O’
between
ring. They should remain in the groove in the supply unions. If they fall
out ensure that they are kept to one side to be re used. The filters in
the supply unions can now be removed and inspected for signs of
debris and cleaned. Before replacing the filters flush out the pipework
to ensure that any further debris is removed from the system and that
there i
s an adequate supply.
The supplies can easily be flushed out at this stage by simply turning
them on.
Re-assembly - This is the
reverse of the removal
procedure. Ensure that on both
installations that the ‘O’ ring
seals and filters remain in
position in the supply unions
and that the ‘O’ ring seals are
clean and undamaged. As a
precaution before re-assembly
sure non-return valves
make
are operating freely by pushing
on the centre with a finger. A
small amount of water will fall
out when the non-return valve
opens.
SECTION 4
Non Return Valves. See figure 5.
To examine the non return valves, it
will be necessary to remove the
shower body from the installation
by following the procedure in
section 3. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
REMOVE THE SHOWER BODY
ENSURE THAT BOTH HOT AND COLD
SUPPLIES ARE ISOLATED.
The thermostatic shower is supplied
with non-return valves in the inlet
unions to prevent cross
contamination of the supplies. During storage the non-return valve
can become “stuck” and in conditions of low flow there is not
seals
enough water pressure to initially open them. They can easily be
opened manually by pushing on the centre with a finger to free the
seals.
In conditions of extremely low flow the non-return valves can be
removed to reduce restrictions by breaking them out using a flat
bladed screwdriver and pointed nose pliers. Take care not to
e the sealing surface on the inlet unions. This should only be
damag
carried out where both supplies come from a common source installed
in accordance with the local plumbing codes.
SECTION 5
Shut off Valve not opening. See figure 6.
Before attempting to
remove the shut off valve
ensure that both hot and
cold supplies are isolated.
Take extreme care not to
damage any of the finished
by protecting
parts
surfaces of tools with
masking/insulating tape.
Undo and remove lever
screw. Pull lever/crosshead
assembly from spline of
1/4 turn ceramic valve. Undo and remove hood. Using a 17mm
spanner or socket, undo 1/4 turn ceramic valve. If the shower has
been used, as soon as the seal on the valve is broken water will flow
from around the valve and the shower outlet connected to the riser,
the riser is empty. Remove valve. The 1/4 turn ceramic valve is
until
not serviceable and will need replacing if the ceramic discs do not
open when the spline is turned. Ensure that plastic vernier insert is
retained for use on replacement valve.
Re-assembly - The re-assembly is the reverse of the removal
procedure.
