SITING OF THE SHOWER

IMPORTANT:

 If installing onto a tiled wall 

always mount the unit on the surface of the 
tiles. NEVER tile up to the unit.

Refer to 

fig.6

 for the correct siting of the 

shower. Position the unit where it will NOT

be in 

direct contact with water from the showerhead. 
Position the shower unit vertically.
Allow enough room between the ceiling and the 
shower to access the cover top screws. Leave 
enough space between the left-hand side of the 
unit and the wall to allow access to the pressure 
relief device (PRD) in the future.

Note:

 Water regulations require the showerhead 

be 

‘constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment 

so that it can only discharge water at a point 
not less than 25mm above the spill-over level 
of the relevant bath, shower tray or other 
fixed appliance’

. The use of the supplied gel 

hanger/hose guide will in most cases meet this 
requirement, but if the showerhead can be 
placed within a bath, basin or shower tray, then 
a double check valve, or similar, must be fitted in 
the supply pipework to prevent back-flow.

Pressure relief safety device

A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed into 
the shower unit which complies with European 
standards. The PRD provides a level of appliance 
protection should an excessive build up of 
pressure occur within the shower.
DO NOT operate the shower with a damaged or 
kinked shower hose, or a blocked showerhead 
which can cause the PRD to operate.
When commissioning, the showerhead must 
be removed from the flexible hose, while at the 
same time the temperature control must be at 
the minimum flow position. Failure to follow this 
procedure may also cause the PRD to operate.
Make sure the shower is positioned over a bath 
or shower tray because if the PRD operates, then 
water will eject from the bottom of the unit. 
Should this happen, turn off the electricity and 
water supplies to the shower at the isolating 
switch and stopvalve. Contact Customer Service 
for advice on replacing the PRD.

WARNING!

The shower must not be positioned 

where it will be subjected to freezing 

conditions.

IMPORTANT:

 The unit must be mounted 

on a flat surface which covers the full 
width and length of the backplate. It is 
important that the wall surface is flat 
otherwise difficulty may be encountered 
when fitting the cover and subsequent 
operation of the unit may be impaired.
