6. Refit the end piece to the liner and open out to the

thickness of the wall. Seal the two pieces together

using the tape provided with the kit (Fig 72).

7. Slide the assembled wall liner into the hole in the

wall until the tags stop against the inner wall with the

seam of the liner uppermost. Mark the positions of the

holes in the tags on the wall and  then rotate liner so

that tags reveal marks (Fig. 73).

8. Drill and plug the wall in these positions (Fig. 74).

9. Rotate liner back until the tags align with the holes

drilled and secure it to the wall using suitable screws

(Fig. 75).

10. Make good between the edge of the liner and the

outside wall with cement mortar or a similar

substance, by reaching through the liner and pressing

the mortar between liner and the outside brick work

(Fig. 76). Make good between the liner and the inside

wall. Apply soap solution to the ‘O’ ring inside the

liner.

11. The rest of the installation may now proceed as

described.
