Triton 10.5kW, Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Electric shower

PLUMBING INSTALLATION

Plumbing must be carried out before 
wiring.

DO NOT

 use jointing compounds on any pipe 

fittings for the installation.

DO NOT

 solder fittings near the shower unit 

as heat can transfer along the pipework and 
damage components.
Compression fittings 

MUST

 be used to connect 

to the inlet of the shower 

(fig.7)

. Push-on 

fittings must 

NOT

 be used as full engagement 

cannot be guaranteed.
If installing a feed pipe from the back or 
bottom, the centre of the inlet valve to the wall 
surface is 21mm 

(fig.7)

.

NOTE:

If entry is from the back, the nut 

of the compression fitting will be partially 
behind the surface of the wall. This area 
MUST be left clear when plastering and tiling 
around the pipework in order to make the 
nut accessible for future adjustments.

NOTE: 

An additional stopvalve (complying 

with Water Regulations) must be fitted in 
the mains water supply to the shower as an 
independent means of isolating the water 
supply should maintenance or servicing be 
necessary. If this isolator is fitted in a loft 
space, the loft must have a fixed access ladder 
and be boarded, with appropriate lighting 
from the access point to the  isolator.

IMPORTANT: 

Before completing the 

connection of the water supply to the inlet of 
the shower, flush out the pipework to remove 
all swarf and system debris. This can be 
achieved by connecting a hose to the pipework 
and turning on the mains water supply long 
enough to clear the debris to waste. 

FITTING TO THE WALL

Pipe/Electrical Access Points

If bottom or right surface entry is required for the 
mains cold water, then the necessary opening 
will need to be cut out in the cover and the 
trimplate 

(fig.8)

.

If surface cable entry from the top is required
then a small area will need to be cut out in the 
backplate 

(fig.9)
