Electrical Requirements
Warning: This appliance MUST
be earthed!
The Electrical Installation and Circuit Protection of this
shower must comply with current I.E.E Wiring Regulations
(BS 7671) and Building Regulations (Part P).
We recommend that this product is installed by a qualied
electrician prior to use. The following notes are for
guidance only.
Important: You must switch off the power at the consumer
unit, isolate the electrical circuit and verify the earth before
making any electrical connections.
The shower must only be connected to a 230-240V AC
supply. The electrical rating of your shower is on the pack or
on the rating plate label.
The shower must be connected to its own independent
electrical supply. It must not be connected to a ring main,
spur, power socket, or lighting circuit.
If you don’t have a spare fuse way or the rating at the main
fuse box is below 80A, you should seek advice from an
electrician and may need a new consumer unit - specically
for the shower.
A separate and permanently connected cable must be taken
from the consumer unit directly to the shower via a 45 Amp
double pole switch with a minimum contact separation gap
of 3mm in live (L) and neutral (N) poles.
The isolating switch can be a ceiling mounted pull cord
switch within the bathroom or wall mounted in an adjacent
room. The power switch must be easily accessible and
identiable as the supply to the shower.
Note: Voltage drop in the supply to the premises, due to
heavy local demand, will affect the performance of your
shower. To gain the optimum power possible from this
shower unit try to nd the shortest possible route from the
consumer unit to the shower to run your cable.

Electrical Requirements cont.
It is a requirement that a residual current device (RCD)
formerly known as an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)
with a tripping current of 30mA, is incorporated in the
circuit. This may be part of the existing consumer unit or a
separate unit.
For close circuit protection DO NOT use a rewireable fuse.
Instead use a suitably rated Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
or Cartridge Fuse.
Please refer to the Circuit Protection Table.
On installation of the appliance the impedance measurement
of the Neutral and Earth back to the supply source is to be
less than 1.0 Ohms. This is in line with the general installation
requirements of the UK Network and will generally present
no problem within the UK Network.
In domestic installations you must ensure that the electrical
supply and existing fuse board are adequately rated.
Do not turn on the electrical supply until the plumbing has
been completed and the shower cover re-tted.

If the shower is to be installed in a hard water area, we
recommend that an in-line scale inhibitor is tted which will
prolong the life of the shower. Please refer to your supplier
for advice.
Warning: The shower must not be installed in an area
subject to freezing conditions. Do not use if you suspect
the shower is frozen, this will damage the shower unit.
The shower must be connected to a mains water supply only
with a minimum working inlet pressure of 0.07MPa (0.7bar)
at a minimum ow rate of 8 litres per minute. The maximum
static inlet pressure must not exceed 1.0MPa (10bar).
If it is intended to operate the shower at pressures above the
maximum stated, a suitable pressure reducing valve (PRV)
should be used.
Water regulations stipulate that the showerhead be
‘constrained by a xed or sliding attachment (hose retainer)
so that it can only discharge water at a point not less than
20mm above the spill over level of the bath or shower tray
or other xed appliance’.
If a showerhead can sit within a bath, basin or shower tray
(Fluid Category 3), you must t a veriable double check
valve in the supply pipe to prevent back siphonage.
If the showerhead can sit within a WC (Fluid Category 5)
then the air gap (Type AUK 3) shall be not less than 20mm or
twice the diameter of the inlet pipe to the tting, whichever
is the greater.

This tting needs to be installed in accordance with the
following Installation Requirements and Notes (IRN) to
ensure they meet the requirements of the Water Supply
(Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and the Scottish
Byelaws 2004.
All water ttings connected to the plumbing system require
an assessment of the risk of contamination by backow.
The regulations dene the levels of contamination risk, called
Fluid Categories, based upon the nature of contaminants.
Fluid Category 3 are uids which represent a slight health
hazard such as common household disinfectants and Fluid
Category 5 are uids which represent a serious health
hazard such as human waste.
The tting shall be installed so that its outlet discharges
above the spill-over level of any xed appliance such as a
bath or shower tray as indicated on the illustration below.
For backow protection in premises or installations where
a Fluid Category 5 is present;-
The vertical distance of the outlet above the spill-over level
shall be not less than 20mm or twice the diameter of the
inlet pipe to the tting, which ever is the greater. If the tting
cannot be installed as indicated it shall be installed with
a backow prevention arrangement suitable for the Fluid
Category.

Warning: Please check for any hidden pipes and cables
before drilling holes in the wall.
Remove the 4 cover retaining screws and lift off the cover.
Do not try to remove the control knobs from the cover.
They are an integral part of the cover and must not be
removed.
If you are tting the unit to a partition wall or a wall of
particularly crumbly material, you will need appropriate
xings for the wall type.
Select the position for the shower unit over a bath or shower
tray using the installation template provided in the centre
pages of this booklet.
Important: The shower unit must be tted to a at,
waterproof surface. Under no circumstances should the
shower unit be attached to a wall and then tiled up to the
edges. The unit must be xed on top of the wall surface.
Important: Use a spirit level to ensure the template is level.
Mark the 3 xing points with a suitable pencil through the
paper. Remove the template from the wall and drill the wall
to suit the wall xings to be used.
Fixing Your Shower to the Wall
Tips:
A piece of insulation or masking tape positioned where
holes are to be drilled and before marking out the exact
position for the xing holes will help stop the drill bit
from wandering, particularly on a tiled surface.
When working near a basin, bath or shower insert plug
or cover waste to prevent losing small parts.
Take care not to drop tools/equipment into basin, bath
or shower during shower installation.
Note: The unit can be hung temporarily on the top screws to
help with the positioning of the pipe work etc.
* The bottom screw should only be tted during nal
installation.
Important: Under no circumstances should this shower unit
be recessed (it must be tted onto the nished wall surface)
or tiled up to or sealed around the unit as this may prevent
air circulating and any condensation escaping.

Warning: The outlet of the shower acts as a vent and
must not be blocked, restricted or connected to any tap/
closure device other than the handset supplied.
Do not solder within 300mm of the shower unit or allow
solder or ux to fall onto the casings.
Important: An additional independent stop valve complying
with the current water regulations must be tted in the
mains water supply as a means of isolating the supply to the
unit for servicing and/or maintenance work.
It is essential that all pipe work is ushed through to remove
debris and swarf that could otherwise damage the unit.
Once the pipe work has been ushed through, turn off the
water supply at the stop valve.
Connect the mains water supply to the inlet port of the
shower using 15mm copper pipe (BS EN1057) or 15mm
plastic pipe (with insert).
Do not use stainless steel pipe work. If using chrome plated
pipe ensure that the rst 25mm of plating is carefully
removed to allow push-t tting to grip the inlet pipe.
Inlet Entry Options
The pipe work can enter the shower unit from 6 different
positions. Bottom left, Bottom right, Top left, Rear left, Rear
right or Rear left - using an elbow (as shown on page 9).
To top or bottom left positions
The shower unit should come supplied with the inlet
connection set for a bottom left position. To change it to
a top left position: swivel the inlet connector elbow from
facing downward to facing upward.
To bottom right position
Unfasten the screw (4) securing the inlet connector elbow
clamp (5), remove the tab from the slot and keep until the
inlet pipe is repositioned. Lift the outlet connection (6) up
out of the way from its position at the bottom of the unit.
Pull the inlet connector elbow towards you and over to the
right hand side with the inlet entry point facing down. Ret
the clamp tab (5) into the slot on the right, refasten the
screw (4) and replace the outlet connection (6).
To rear entry positions
Swivel the inlet connector elbow to face a rear entry pipe
connection. If the pipe work entry is from the rear, ensure
that there is space left around the push-t elbow for future
servicing or alternatively access is possible from the rear.
Bring the cold water pipe to the shower position and
connect to the inlet elbow.
