Installation Overview
Orbital Shower Installation Options
max. 3000mm
The distance between the center of the Orbital Shower Core and the center of the Drain
Unit must not exceed 3000 mm.
Orbital Shower Core placed on the
same wall as the Drain Unit and
Shower Head.
Orbital Shower Core placed on a
wall perpendicular to the Drain Unit
and Shower Head.
Page 9 of 59

Orbital Shower Core placed in a
separate and heated room.
Orbital Shower Core placed in a
separate and heated room.
When installing the Orbital Shower Cabinet model, the Orbital Shower Core is installed
as surface mounted wall mounting outside the shower area "in bathroom with water-
proofing in the floor", or in an adjacent room "without waterproofing in the floor". The
kit only allows for mounting on a wall.. The leakage indicator should end "in rooms with
a waterproof floor". Read about the leakage indicator in Install Drainage Pipe [47]. The
limitation in distance, ensuring full system functionality, is maximum 3000 mm.
Any bends in the sleeves and conduits going to and from Orbital Shower Core needs to
be achieved by using 45° angles. For example, to achieve a 90° bend, two pcs of 45°
bends needs to be used. No more than six 45° bends (maximum three 90° bends) in
total can be used when installing the Orbital Shower. These limitations applies to both
horizontal and vertical bends.

The following constraints apply to the configuration of system components:
A. The top of the Orbital Shower Core must be placed lower than the bottom of the
head shower.
B. Orbital Shower Core must be positioned minimum 160 mm above the top of the Drain
Unit Frame.
C. Total distance between the Control Dial and Orbital Shower Core cannot exceed 3000
mm.
D. The piping between the Orbital Shower Core, any Shower Heads and the Drain Unit
has to be built with a consistent slope towards the Drain Unit. Total distance between the
Orbital Shower Core and the Drain Unit cannot exceed 3000 mm.
E. The maximum thickness of wall tiles and tile grout cannot exceed 15 mm (wall tile
max.10 mm, tile grout max. 5 mm).

Wall Installation
The weight of the Orbital Shower Core is approx. 25 kg. The surrounding structure must
be able to support the forces that will stress the attachment points.
Use the holes located on the back and the sides to fixate the Core wall enclosure.
IMPORTANT
The cabinet must not be placed in a place for bathing or showering.
IMPORTANT
Leakage indication shall be placed with a slope along its entire length and end
in a room with waterproof floors where you can easily detect a leak. The pipe
should not end in place for bathing or showering. Inside diameter of the wire
for indication of leakage must be at least 20 mm. The outlet should not be
placed near more than 60 mm from the waterproofing layer of the floor or
adjacent wall.
The pipe for indication of leakage must be cleaned so that leaking water is
not prevented from flowing out. A cabinet must be placed frost-free on the
construction warm side inside the plastic foil or the steam brake.

Seal mountings in wet zone
CAUTION
For installation in Sweden according to current Industry Rules Safe Water
Installation. All mountings in the wet zone must be sealed against the water-
proofing layer of the wall or floor. Material for sealing must adhere to the
substrate and be water-resistant, mold-resistant and aging-resistant.
Seal the drill holes according to industry rules.
