Installation of the RAC Assembly

1.

  Before the RAC assembly can be fitted you 

must have first installed your built-in shower 

control and have connected the inlet and outlet 

pipework.

Important! 

Make sure that the outlet pipework 

protrudes through a Ø25 mm hole in the wall 

or stud partition by at least 40 mm.

Note!

 For stud partition installations where 

access to the rear of the partition is possible, 

fit the RAC wall plate over the outlet pipework 

on the inside of the partition.

  For stud partition installations where access 

to the rear of the wall is not possible, follow 

instructions for solid wall installations, making 

sure that suitable wall fixings (not supplied) are 

used to secure the wall plate to the outside of 

the stud partition.
