Step 1
Fit pipework to inlet ports on the shower body before
securing to the support timber. Installation Depth,
ID= 60±10mm. This is defined as the distance between
the mounting surface and the finished wall surface.
Secure the mixer body and then the spout elbow on to
the supporting timber ensuring that it is oriented
square and vertical. Use a spirit level on the front face
and top edge of the pitch plate to ensure that the
assembly is square in all directions.
Step 2
Flush all pipe-work prior to the next step.
Connect mixer body to hot and cold supplies and outlet
to the spout elbow ensuring a good seal at each joint.
Remove pitch plate and discard. Remove and refit
all-thread nipple to spout elbow using plumber’s tape
to ensure a good seal. Replace plastic cover on
all-thread nipple.
Step 3
Wall lining should be finished as per the diagram on the
right.
Use silicone to seal around the body cover of the mixer
to the finished wall lining and refit plastic covers.
Step 4
Remove plastic covers and discard.
Cut all-thread nipple to 15±2mm from finished wall
surface.
Screw spout adapter onto all-thread nipple using
plumber’s tape to ensure a good seal.
Stick self-adhesive foam seal to perimeter of back of
faceplate ensuring that there is a gap at the bottom.
Wet rubber seals or grommets and slide faceplate onto
shower body and over spout adapter.
Ensure spout O-ring is in place and push spout onto

2.5mm hex key provided.
Push handle onto cartridge pin, tighten hex screw and
