READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION
It is very important that the following must be con-
sidered before you install this product.
Incoming water pressure must be tested before the
installation. You can do this by using a pressure
gauge (available online or at plumbers merchants,
an example shown FIG1). Please note that your
standing water pressure can increase up an addi-
tional 2 bar at night time.
We highly recommending protecting your entire
property with a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV - see
FIG2) which can protect all appliances and plumbing
from any increases or spikes in water pressure that

INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP1: MOUNTING THE BRACKET
STEP2: GREASING THE O-RINGS
The o rings must be greased
thoroughly with silicone grease
(plumbers grease). This will
ensure the o ring will slip as the
housing bowl is screwed onto
the head and make a water tight
connection.
Fist clean your hands and then
apply the grease to the ring
