• Make your connection into the hot water supply from the cylinder ensuring
that it is the first draw off below the expansion pipe tee. (Fig. 1).
• If this is not possible, a direct connection must be made from the hot water
cylinder with an Essex flange.
• The cold water should be taken directly from the cold water storage tank
and must be positioned 60mm below the cold connection to the hot water
cylinder, Fig 1.
• It is recommended that non restrictive isolating valves are incorporated
into the shower supply pipework.
• 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.

Fitting your Shower
• Determine the position at which the mixer valve is to be installed. This is normally
chest height, - approximately 1 - metre above the bath base or shower tray.
• If the pipework is to be concealed, or the valve is to be recessed, the pipes should
be installed at this time.
• If surface mounting the valve with concealed pipework, the pipes must terminate
15mm above the finished wall surface.
• If the valve is to be recessed, a channel must be prepared for the valve and
pipework, approximately 140 mm wide and between 40 and 60 mm deep, with
the pipework terminating at 96 mm centres.
• In all cases the pipes should be installed with the hot supply on the right hand
side viewed from the front. If the pipework is reversed, a "reverse indice" may be
obtained from Showerforce Customer Service department.
• Before commencing installation, remove the retaining ring and shroud, and
identify all components using the illustration and parts list.

Surface Mounted Fixing - Fig 2
• Remove the inlet elbows (1) from the valve body (2) and, using a few turns of PTFE tape
to seal, refit in the final position for the required pipework entry, i.e. top, bottom or rear.
Using PTFE tape to seal, screw the shorter (chamfered) end of the outlet nipple (3) into
the valve body.
• Position the wall bracket (4) against the wall and mark the two upper fixing holes on
the wall. Drill the wall at the marked positions, and insert the wall plugs supplied. Fix
the wall bracket and valve using the screws supplied.
NOTE.
• The wall bracket is used for top, bottom or concealed (rear) pipe connection. The two
inlet caps should be pulled off the bracket for top and bottom feed – the illustration
shows the position for bottom feed, it must be turned through 180 degrees for top
feed. For concealed entry, the inlet caps should be left in position as received, and the
bracket fixed to the wall as for bottom pipe entry.
• Bring the inlet pipework to the valve. Flush out the pipework and connect using the
15mm compression nuts and olives supplied.
• Place the shroud (5) over the valve with the apertures in appropriate positions to
accommodate the inlet pipework and outlet nipple. If the valve has concealed inlet
pipes, ensure that the pegs on the inlet caps locate correctly in the holes in the shroud.
• With the shroud in place, screw the retaining ring (6) onto the valve body, fit the handle
(7) to the shaft, and secure using the screw supplied (8).
• Insert the indice (9) into the recess in the handle and press into place.
• Fit the outlet cap into the hole in the top of the shroud. The wide, raised slot in the
cap fits into the rear (wall side) slot in the shroud hole.

Recessed Fitting - Fig 3
• It is essential that when installing a recessed mixer valve, full access to the
valve can be achieved for servicing purposes. Rear access to the mixing valve is
always preferred wherever possible, (e.g. airing cupboard or panelled wall)
as this removes the need to disturb any tiling or decorative features at the front
of the valve. Isolation valves should be fitted on both supplies and ensure that they are
accessible and maintained.
• Position the valve body (2) in the recess and mark the fixing screw positions on the wall,
drill the wall and insert the wall plugs supplied.
• Remove the inlet elbows (1) from the valve body and, using a few turns of PTFE tape
to seal, refit in the final position for the required pipework entry, i.e. top, bottom or rear.
Using PTFE tape to seal, screw the longer, flat end of the outlet nipple into the valve
body. Fix the valve to the wall, flush out the pipework and connect using the 15mm nuts
and olives supplied.
• Determine the position for the shower union elbow (3), and using a length of 15mm
pipe and suitable fittings, connect to the valve outlet nipple. The union elbow requires
a 1/2” BSP female FI connection.
• If conditions permit, it may be possible to make
the connections prior to finally fitting the valve to
the wall.
• Make good the wall as necessary, and fit the recessed
cover (4) over the valve body and secure using the
2 x 35mm screws supplied.
• Fit the handle and indice as described in the surface
mounted instructions (above).

Commissioning
• Ensure the mixer valve is in the "off" position (see User Instructions), but do not
connect the handset. Turn on the cold isolating valve, and run the shower on the
cold setting for 2-3 minutes to clear any debris from the pipework.
• Attach the handset to the hose, and turn on the hot water isolating valve. Run the
shower in the full flow position, and starting with the handle full left (max. cold),
gradually turn the handle clockwise to the full right extreme (max. hot), noting the
temperature rise.
• If the temperature does not rise, suspect supplies are connected the wrong way
round, check and either correct, or obtain a reverse indice from Showerforce
Customer Service.
• If the temperature is too hot on the full hot position, it is necessary to either adjust
the hot water temperature, or set the temperature limit stop.

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 hose retainer 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 hole in the hose retainer. 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 hose retainer.
When fitting the hose, it should pass through the hole in the hose retainer.
Hose connections should be handtightened only.
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.

Adjusting Maximum Temperature
7SHOWERFORCE 911-M SHOWER VALVE
The mixer valve allows the showering temperature to be set at a safe level, preventing
accidental selection of high temperatures. This setting should be made during
commissioning and will require that the hot water cylinder is at its normal operating
temperature.
Procedure: Refer to Fig 5 & Fig 6
• Prise out the indice (1) from the recess in the handle, and remove the handle
fixing screw (2).
• Remove the handle (3) and retaining ring (4).
• Prise off the clear temperature limit ring (5), and the green flow selector (6).
• Refit the handle to the mixer shaft, turn on the shower, and adjust the
temperature to approximately 5ºC above the comfortable showering level.
• Turn off the shower but retain the temperature setting. Refit the temperature limit
ring with the limit stop (7) touching the lower side of the pin (8) through the mixer
shaft.
• Refit the handle and check that the temperature is acceptable. Adjust as
necessary as above.
• Refit the flow selector with the "Max" slot in the 6 o’clock position.
• Refit the handle, insert the handle fixing screw and fit the indice.
User Instructions
• Pull the valve handle towards you (Fig 5) water will begin to flow from the handset.
• To regulate the water flow and pressure of your shower gently move the valve
handle (3) to and from the ‘off’ position.
