employ the services of an experienced qualified plumber.
•This fitting needs to be installed in accordance with, and meet the requirements of the
Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and Scottish Byelaws 2004.
•Remove all packaging and check the fitting for damage before starting installation.
•Warning: Before starting any installation please consider the following: before
drilling into walls, check that there are no hidden electrical wires, cables or water
supply pipes. This can be checked with the aid of an electronic detector.
•If power tools are used do not forget to: - Wear eye protection
-
Unplug equipment
after use
•Important: Remember to turn off the mains water supply before connecting to any
existing pipe work. Fitting isolating valves to the inlet feeds is recommended for ease
of maintenance.
•Warning: Before installing the new fitting it is essential that you thoroughly flush
through the pipework in order to remove any remaining swarf, solder, etc.
Failure to carry out this procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of
the fitting.
•Your fitting has a high quality finish and should be treated with care to preserve the
visible surfaces. All surfaces will wear if not cleaned correctly, the only safe way
to clean your fitting is to wipe with a soft damp cloth. Stains can be removed using
washing up liquid. All bath cleaning powders and liquids will damage the surface of
your fitting, even the non-scratch cleaners.
Note: Never use abrasive detergents or disinfectants or those containing alcohol,
hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid.

Designed to comply with and be used within systems designed to BS 6700.
BS 6700 recommends the temperature of stored water should never exceed 65°C.
A stored water temperature of 60°C is considered sufficient to meet all normal
requirements and will minimise the build up of lime scale in hard water areas.
If the fitting is installed at low pressure (tank fed), then the minimum distance from the
highest installed position of the outlet to the underside of the cold tank should be at
least 10 metres to ensure adequate performance.
This shower should be installed in compliance with the Water Regulations. Where
the supplies are unbalanced, i.e. Hot water from cylinder tank / cold from the mains,
approved check valves must be fitted in the supply pipes.
For further details contact your Local Water Authority.

1. Prepare water supply pipes
Terminate suitable pipework inside the
wall cavity / stud partition with
145-165mm pipe centres and 1/2" BSP
female connectors.
Flush through the pipework to ensure
removal of any debris.
Important: The pipework and 1/2" BSP
female connectors must be secure and
rigid so that it is unable to move. If
installing the pipework in a stud
partition, a wooden batton may be
required to secure the female connectors
(as shown).
The 1/2" BSP female connectors must be
installed in such a position that when the
elbow shrouds are screwed fully onto the
elbows and the valve is fitted to the wall,
the elbow shrouds are flush against the
finished wall surface. This is to ensure
that the valve can not move.
Note: If 1/2" female connectors are not
used the compression nut and olives can
be used however the pipework must be
secure and rigid so that it is unable to
move.
2. Finish Wall
Finish the wall surface using
plasterboard and tiles.
3. Fit Elbows
Screw the elbows into the 1/2" BSP
female connectors using a suitable thread
sealant.

showerhead and remove the backplate. Push the
backplate into the top of the riser ensuring the
nipple is fully fitted into the riser and mark the
position on the wall surface. Remove the
backplate from the riser tube and unscrew the
centre nut to reveal the backplate fixing.
Position the backplate fixing onto the wall at the
marked position and mark the fixing holes onto
the wall surface. Drill suitable holes and secure
the backplate to the wall using suitable
fixings (Not supplied).
Fit the backplate into the top of the riser tube
and onto the backplate fixing and secure with the
