water, by opening a tap that the pipe supplies.

4.15

 Make your connection to the pipe. If it is on a low-lying loop there may be some water left in the pipe, so be

prepared for some flow of water. Make all joints except that to the shower heater before flushing.

4.16 It is essential to flush the system in order to clear any debris, bits of solder and swarf which could
enter and damage components within the shower heater

 (See 

Fig. 2.11

). It may be best to take the shower off

the wall to do this.

4.17

 Turn the water off after flushing, either at the stop cock or by using your servicing valve.

4.18

 Remount the shower firmly and make the final water connection to it. Turn the water control knob fully clockwise.

Turn the water on again.

4.19

 Check for leaks in all pipework, and rectify as necessary.

 For riser rail and accessories please refer to instructions in the accessory box.

Wiring:

4.21

 Design your system as outlined in 

Section Three

. Lay the cable in your chosen route, ensuring that you have

ample length.

4.22

 Leave the connection to the consumer unit or switch-fuse until last.

4.23 Remember: when working on electrical components, ensure they are not live.

 If in any doubt, switch off

at your main switch at the fuseboard or consumer unit.

4.24

 If you find it necessary to increase access for fitting the cable, the shower can be unplumbed at its inlet pipe and

temporarily removed from the wall.

4.25

 Feed the cable through the opening in the backplate below the terminal block.

4.26

 Ensure that all three screws hold the shower backplate to the wall firmly.

4.27

 Strip the outer insulation sheath back as required. Strip the insulation from the cores and make connections to

the LIVE (L) (brown or red), NEUTRAL (N) (blue or black) and EARTH 

 terminal block. The earth wire must be

sleeved green/yellow. Make sure that the cores of the cable lie tidily and do not touch any metallic part of the shower.
They must not be under strain. There is no cable clamp.

4.28

 Ensure that the cable does not foul the area above the bottom removable section, where the knob gear will fit

when the front cover is fitted in place.

4.29

 Make sure that all the terminal block screws are tightened very firmly. Replace the bottom section of the

backplate (the shower hose connection to the outlet will have to be temporarily removed to do this).

Fitting the front cover:

4.30

 Turn the valve fully anti-clockwise (closed). Turn the knob in the cover until its marker points vertically upwards.

There is no knob-stop in the cover.

4.31

 Carefully fit the cover to the backplate, ensuring that the lugs slide into their sockets. You may have to adjust

the water control knob slightly to enable its gear to mesh with that on the control valve.

4.32

 Fit the cover fixing-screws. The longer one is for the lower fixing point. You may have to push the front cover

firmly against the backplate seal, to enable the screws to locate properly through the fixing lugs.
