SITING OF THE SHOWER

Important:

 

For ease of servicing, the unit 

must always be mounted on the surface of 
tiled walls. never tile up to the unit.

Refer to 

fig.

 for correct siting of shower. 

Position the unit where it will NOT be in direct 
contact with water from the showerhead. Posi-
tion the shower unit vertically.
Allow enough room between the ceiling and the 
shower to access the cover top screws.

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 25 mm above the spill-over level of the 
relevant bath, shower tray or other fixed appli-
ance’

. The use of the supplied retaining ring 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 backflow.

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 pres-
sure 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.

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.
