Plumbing
Under no circumstances should the unit be connected directly to the mains
cold water supply, or to a combination boiler, or pressurised hot water system.
For correct operation of the NewTeam 1500-XT power shower, both hot and cold
water supplies must be gravity fed, at nominally equal pressures, from a cold water
storage tank, and a hot water storage cylinder.
We recommend a minimum of 115 litres (25 gallon actual) of cold water
supplied by a storage tank. Please ensure compliance with all Water
Regulations. Under no circumstances must the Power Shower be connected to the
mains cold water supply.
Please ensure maximum supply head of 10 metres, minimum 1 metre.
It is recommended that the hot water supply is at a temperature of 60ºC, in line with
British Standard 6700, British Water Regulations, and Plumbing Code of Practice.
Do not use jointing compounds when connecting, and do not solder within 300mm
of the unit.
Before proceeding with the installation of this unit, check that your site requirements
allow the handset to be a minimum of 1 metre below the bottom of the cold water
storage tank to allow the 1500-XT to also operate on gravity.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
All electrical wiring for the shower must comply with the current
I.E.E Regulations which includes earth-cross bonding to all metal pipework.
IMPORTANT:
All plumbing should be completed before final electrical connections are made.
The shower must be connected to a 230/240 volt A.C electrical supply from a
13-amp ring main, via a fused double pole switch with at least 3mm contact
separation. The switch is to be clearly identifiable, a minimum distance of 2.5m from
a fixed tap or shower, i.e. mounted in an adjacent room or via a ceiling-type pull cord
switch. The unit should be fused at no more than 3 amps.
This appliance must be earthed, and all associated metal pipework earth
crossbonded in line with current I.E.E regulations.
As the colours of the wires in the cable (not supplied) used to connect to this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your switch, please follow the procedure below:
Please use the cable entry point provided. Failure to comply will eliminate any
BEAB approval.
Procedure:
•The wire, which is coloured Blue or Black, must be connected to the terminal that
is marked with the letter N.
•The wire, which is coloured Brown or Red, must be connected to the terminal that
is marked with the letter L.
•The wire which is coloured Yellow/Green must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the earth symbol .
•The installation and wiring must comply with I.E.E regulations.

In addition to the recommendation on `Planning your Installation’please take note of
the following:
•All plumbing should be completed before any electrical connections are undertaken.
•The unit can be connected to a combination cylinder system providing it
has a cold water storage capacity of 115 litres (25 gallons actual).
•When connecting pipework avoid using elbows: sweep or formed bends will
ensure optimum performance.
•Do not solder within 300mm of the unit.
•Do not run pump dry this will damage the internal seal and invalidate the warranty.
•All pipework to and from the unit should be a minimum of 15mm. Non-restrictive
isolating valves must be fitted on hot and cold supply pipes.
•Do not position unit in areas subjected to freezing conditions.
•The temperature of your stored water must not exceed 65ºC. A stored water
temperature of 60ºC is considered sufficient to meet all normal requirements
in line with the British Standard 6700.
WARNING –ALL CONNECTING PIPEWORK SHOULD BE EARTHED
Procedure - Plumbing Connections: Fig 1.
1. Isolate mains water and electrical supplies.
2. To empty the pipework open the hot and cold water taps.
3. Make your connection into the hot water supply pipe from the cylinder, ensuring
that it is the first draw-off (below the expansion pipe tee) to minimise the effects
of water draw offs elsewhere in the house, and a minimum of 1 metre from the
base of the cold storage tank and the expansion tee.
4. If this is not possible, a direct connection must be made from the hot water
cylinder with a cylinder flange, Fig 2.
5. The cold water supply should be taken directly from the cold storage tank,
and must be positioned 60mm below the cold feed connection to the hot
water cylinder. This should not be directly beneath the ball valve as aeration of the
water going to the shower could cause pump damage.
6. Run hot and cold pipework to the unit position.
We recommend that the unit is fitted at chest height, and set to one side of the
intended riser rail position, ensuring that the top of the unit is at least 75mm below
the base of the cold water tank.
IMPORTANT:
•The unit must be fitted on the finished tiled surface.
•Do not seal the edge of the unit to the tiled surface with any sealant, as the
gap below the back of the unit and the tiles is needed for ventilation.
•The outlet connection must be positioned at the bottom of the unit.

Water/Electrical Connections
WARNING:
Do not fit fuse or switch on mains electrical supply until all plumbing work is
completed. Connecting pipework can feed from above or below the unit, or straight
through the wall at nominal centres of 40mm.
Top Feed = Hot on the right /cold on the left
Bottom Feed = Hot on the left/cold on the right
Back Feed = Hot on the bottom/cold on the top
Procedure:
•The integral fittings on the valve are of the self-seal push-fit type. All burrs and rough
edges must be removed from the end of the tube. Where chrome plated tube is
used, roughen or remove the first 25mm of plating
•The inlet elbows supplied are of a standard length, in some cases these will
need to be shortened for correct installation.

Surface Mounting
1) If exposed pipework is the option chosen, the pipes enter the unit on the right
hand side with the cold at the top. The pipe centres are 40 mm apart, and need
to penetrate the mixer valve connections by a minimum of 22mm.
2) Position the unit on the wall and mark the fixing hole positions. Drill the wall, insert
the wall plugs supplied, and secure the unit to the wall. Make the necessary
measurements, remove the unit from the wall, and bring the pipework and wiring
to finished positions.
3) Make the hot water connection into the hot water supply pipe from the cylinder,
ensuring that it is the first draw off (below the expansion tee), to minimise the
effects of water drawn off elsewhere in the house, and a minimum of 1 metre below
the base of the cold water storage tank. If connection to the hot water supply pipe
is not possible, a cylinder flange type connection may be used as illustrated (Fig.2
Cylinder connection flange)
4) Make the cold water connection into the base of the cold water storage tank,
60mm below the level of the cold water take off to the hot water cylinder.
5) Flush out the pipework
6) Detach the pipe entry grommet and, using a sharp knife or similar, remove the centre
(15mm dia.) portions, and refit the grommet.
7) Fit the shower unit over the pipework, and insert the mains wiring through the
aperture at the top of the base moulding. Ensure that the supply pipes are fully
inserted into the mixer valve “push fit”connections, and fix the unit to the wall.
8) Connect the wiring in line with the polarity indications moulded into the base unit.
Recessed Fitting Pipework
1) If the pipework is to be recessed, it should be let into the wall with the ends of the
hot and cold pipes standing 40mm off the finished surface of the wall, and centres
40mm apart, with the cold above the hot. Connections to the hot and cold water
supplies should be made as described above, knocking out inlet holes in rear of
unit.
2) Position the unit on the wall with the inlet pipes centred in the holes in the rear of
the base moulding, mark the fixing screw positions on the wall and remove the unit.
3) Drill the fixing screw holes and insert the wall plugs supplied.
4) Cut the plastic inlet elbows supplied to 40mm long from the centre of the elbow
as illustrated (Fig 6), and remove any burrs from the cut end. Fit the cut
inlet elbows into the push-fit connectors on the shower mixer valve.
5) Flush out the pipework.
6) Fit the shower unit over the pipework, and insert the mains wiring through the
aperture at the top of the base moulding. Ensure that the supply pipes are fully
inserted into the inlet elbow “push fit”connections, and fix the unit to the wall
using the fixing screws supplied.
7) Connect the wiring in line with the polarity indications moulded into the base unit.

Fitting the Riser Rail
No Part Description
1Rail end cap
2Spirit level
3-4 Rail with slider attached
5Soap Dish
6Screw cap
7Soap dish fixing screw
Rail fixing screws &
wall plugs
Before proceeding with fitting the rail, identify each of the items supplied
using the illustration.
The slider need not be removed from the rail during fitting. The top of
the slider has a smooth profile, whereas the underside has a recess
revealing the grooves on the handset holder.
Fit the soap dish onto the bottom end of the rail and secure using the
small screw from the kit.
Position the rail on the wall, bearing in mind the heights of people likely
to use the shower, and the length of the hose when connected to the
shower and passed through the retaining hole in the soap dish. Mark
the wall to indicate the upper fixing screw position. Screw centres are
605 mm (approx. 23 - inches,) apart.
Drill the wall at the marked fixing position using a 6 mm drill, and loosely
fix the rail end, checking that the rail is hanging vertically using the spirit
level incorporated into the top end of the rail. The bubble should be
exactly between the two lines on the spirit level body. Mark the position for
the lower fixing screw, move the rail to one side, drill the wall, and fix
the lower end of the rail.
Check that the rail is vertical and tighten both fixing screws.
Slide the end cap into position on the top end of the rail, and fit the
screw cover into the recess in the soap dish.
When fitting the hose, it should pass through the larger hole of the soap
dish.
NOTE: The hose nut, and not the handset handle, fits into the slider,
and the slider moves more freely on the rail if gripped next to the rail,
rather than at the handset.

The valve allows the maximum showering temperature to be set at a safe level,
preventing accidental scalding. This setting should be made during commissioning
and will require that the hot water cylinder is at its normal operating temperature.
IMPORTANT:
•The handset must be in the spray mode.
•We recommend the reading of User Instructions before proceeding further. This
will familiarise you with the operation of the shower.
Temperature Adjustment
Procedure:
Turn the brass mixer valve spindle fully clockwise, and then anti-clockwise until the
black line on the spindle is aligned with the groove on the mixer body, and fit the
control knob in the fully cold position. Check that it is correctly fitted by turning fully
clockwise to the stop, pull the knob off and check that the black line and groove are
aligned. Adjust if necessary. This sets the shower temperature to 38-40ºC, with the
control knob pointing to “12 o’clock”, if the hot water is at the recommended 60ºC.
Commissioning
1) Connect the shower hose –without the handset –to the outlet from the unit.
2) Turn on the hot and cold water isolating valves, and the electricity-isolating
switch, and place the open end of the shower hose in the shower tray or bath.
3) Set the temperature control knob to cold, fully clockwise, and press the
“Stop/Start”button.
4) Cold water will flow from the hose, and this should be allowed to continue for 2
minutes, after which time the control knob may be turned to the “12 o’clock”position.
Allow the water to run for a few minutes to stabilise the hot water flow, and then
check that the water is at a comfortable showering temperature.
5) If it is too hot or too cold, turn off the electricity-isolating switch, pull off the
control knob,and adjust the brass spindle anti-clockwise to increase the temperature
- clockwise to decrease. Replace the knob in the “12 o’clock”position, switch the
electricity on, and check the water temperature. Readjust as necessary until a
satisfactory temperature is achieved.
6) Pass the shower hose through the hole in the soap dish and, using the rubber sealing
washer supplied, fit the showerhead to the hose and place the showerhead in the
handset holder.
7) Press the Stop/Start button. Water flows from the shower head under the gravity
pressure from the storage tank. Press the Shower Boost button and the
pump starts, boosting the shower pressure.
