Bristan recommend E-Cloth for cleaning all of our
bathroom & kitchen products. Using just water, E-cloth
gives a smear free, deep clean by breaking up and holding
dirt, which normal cloths leave behind. Order through

Before starting any installation project please consider:
Prior to drilling into walls, check there are no hidden electrical
wires, cables or water supply pipes with the aid of an electronic
detector. If you use power tools do not forget:

This shower head is intended to be used in conjunction with other
products, such as shower or blending valves, diverters and stopcocks from the Bristan
ranges in order to create a system to suit your requirements.
The shower head should be arranged in your system with a supply of mixed water.
Connect the shower heads 1/2" connector to pipework using the 1/2" BSP connections.
Secure the backplate to the wall using the fixings and wall plugs provided. Attach the
shower head to the backplate and secure with grub screw using a hexagonal key.
INSTALLATION (Concealed Pipework)
INSTALLATION (Exposed Pipework)
Secure the sealing plug to the front of the backplate, ensuring that the O-ring is fitted.
Loosely connect the shower head to pipe work to mark out the position on the back plate to
the wall. Remove the shower head and drill the wall. Then fix the backplate using the
screws and plugs provided. Replace the fixed head pipework, securing with a grub screw.
NOTE:
ECONOMY FLOW CONTROL
Before finishing the installation, turn on water to supplies to
check for leaks at joints & connections.
When a VR1000 is installed with a time flow control we recommend that a 7 litre flow limiter is
fitted to limit the shower head flow rate. Please note that flow limiters are not supplied with this
product but can be purchased separately via www.bristan.com.
