Decide the position for the rail on the wall
within the shower area. Proceed as follows:
Fit the showerhead holder onto the riser rail.
The correct orientation of the holder is when the
showerhead holder is sloping DOWN (fig.1).
To fit the showerhead holder onto the riser
rail unit, press and hold the button on the
underneath of the showerhead holder to release
the locking mechanism, then slide onto the rail.
Slide the supplied soap dish onto the riser rail
below the showerhead holder (fig.2).
Slide the top and bottom finishing trims onto
the riser rail (fig.3).
Push the two fixing brackets into the ends of the
riser rail (fig.4).
Offer the rail assembly to the wall (fig.5). Using
the brackets as templates, mark two upper
holes and two lower holes. Note there are four
provisions for screws per bracket – select the
two most suitable for your requirements. Make
sure the rail is aligned vertically.
Drill and plug the wall. (The wall plugs
provided are suitable for most brick walls – use
an appropriate masonry drill, but if the wall is
plasterboard or a soft building block, use suitable
wall plugs and a suitable drill bit).
Screw to the wall with the fixing screws
supplied.
Slide the finishing trims onto the brackets. Make
sure the lug on each rail bracket end engages
into the slot on the fatter end of each trim
before push fitting the thinner ends in place
(fig.6).
WARNING!
Check there are no hidden cables or
pipes before drilling holes for wall
plugs. Use great care when using
power tools near water. The use of
a residual current device (RCD) is
recommended.

To remove a trim, push a small screwdriver or
similar through the slot in the trim end and
carefully pull away from the wall bracket.
Slide the soap dish down the rail so that its
bracket engages on top of the lower finishing
trim.
Adjusting the showerhead holder
To adjust the height, press the button
underneath the holder to release the locking
mechanism (fig.7). Still pressing the button,
move the holder up or down to suit user’s
requirement.
FITTING THE HOSE AND
SHOWERHEAD
Feed the flexible hose through the soap dish
opening (fig.8) so the dish acts as a retaining
ring (Water Regulations).
Screw the flexible hose to the shower outlet
and showerhead, checking the supplied washers
are in place at both ends of the flexible hose
(fig.9).
Place the showerhead into the holder and check
that it fits correctly (fig.10).
Note: The holder is slightly tapered and the
showerhead and hose will only fit from one
direction.
IMPORTANT: It is the conical end of the hose
which grips into the holder. The showerhead
will not fit in the holder without the hose
attached.

ADJUSTING THE SHOWERHEAD
This instruction book covers the operation and
cleaning of Triton’s 5000 series electric and
gravity showerheads.
Your shower is supplied with a five position
showerhead, with a rub clean face.
Five showerhead patterns are available (fig.11).
Adjust the spray pattern by turning the bezel
on the showerhead in either direction until the
desired pattern is obtained.

CLEANING
Before cleaning, turn off the unit at the
isolation switch to avoid the shower being
accidentally switched on.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SHOWERHEAD
CLEAN TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE SHOWER. The hardness of the water
will determine the frequency of cleaning. For
example, if the shower is used every day in a
very hard water area, it may be necessary to
clean the showerhead on a weekly basis.
Sprayplate removal
There is no need to remove the showerhead
from the hose.
Using the removal tool supplied (fig.12),
locate the raised ’bosses’ into the recesses in
the sprayplate. Hold in firmly and twist anti-
clockwise (fig.13). This movement may turn the
cartridge assembly as well until it reaches a ‘stop’.
Hold the cartridge firmly and continue to twist
anti-clockwise. Having loosened the sprayplate,
it can be unscrewed and removed completely.
Clean the sprayplate with a suitable brush or
preferably leave it to soak overnight in a mild
proprietary descalent. Make sure all traces of
scale are removed and thoroughly rinse in clean
water afterwards.
Before replacing the sprayplate, switch the
power back on at the isolating switch and direct
the hose and showerhead to waste.
Rotate the temperature control to the COLD
position.
Switch on the shower. This operation will flush
out any loose scale deposits in the unit and
showerhead. Stop after about thirty seconds.
Refit the sprayplate by screwing clockwise. Use
the tool to screw the sprayplate tight.
WARNING!
DO NOT use ‘powerful’ abrasive or
solvent cleaning fluids when cleaning
the shower as they may damage the
plastic fittings.
