Site Preparation

It is important to plan the installation thoroughly to suit site conditions before 
commencing.

  •   Before commencing the installation ensure site conditions are suitable.

•   The shower mixing valve is designed for concealed pipework, whether in a solid or studded 

      wall.

  •   Site conditions will determine how the shower valve, outlet elbow and if required the over 

      head soaker (shower head) will be installed.

  •   The thickness of wall tiles, plaster or plaster board should all be considered when positioning

      the shower valve and routing the hot and cold supply pipes.

  •   The shower valve must protrude sufficiently from the finished tiled surface to allow the 

      concealing plate and control knobs to be fitted. 

  •   Ensure the shower valve will be vertical when installed.

  •   The supply pipes can come from below, above, the side or through the wall.

  •   The shower valve must be installed securely into the wall. If not embedded into the wall with 

      plaster the shower valve must be fixed secure to the studding using screws in the 2 
      mounting holes.

  •   The whole system should be thoroughly flushed, prior to the connection of the hot and cold 

      water supplies to the shower valve, to remove any debris that may be in the supply 
      pipework.

  •   Ensure there are no joint leaks before finishing the wall. 

  •   Isolation valves must be fitted in an accessible position to both the hot and cold supplies 

      should the valve need to be isolated in the future for servicing.

Installation - Shower Valve

   Before installing the shower valve, fit the four threaded by compression fittings (5) to the inlet 
   and outlet connections, ensuring water tight joints. Also connect the supply and outlet pipes.

   The valve and pipes can be used as a template to mark their position onto the wall.
