Before installing your new mixer, flush through the pipework to ensure removal of
debris, turn off the water supply.
Warning! Please check for any hidden cables and pipes before drilling holes in
the wall.
Use the plastic cover as a depth guide and also as protection for the chrome
surface during installation (see above).
The valve must be set into the wall by 50-70mm (see dimension page).
If you are fitting the valve to a partition wall or a wall of particularly soft substrate
you will need specialist fixings.
Select the position for the shower valve and offer the shower valve to the wall,
mark the 6 fixing points at the top and bottom with a suitable pencil.
Secure the valve to the wall with suitable fixings.
Make all connections to the valve. Connect hot supply to left inlet of the valve and
cold supply to right inlet.
Connect the outlets to the desired channels e.g. top outlet to the showerhead and
bottom outlet to the bath.
Finish the wall, keep the final finished wall surface between the min and max
dimensions.

once the valve is commissioned the plate is sealed with a thin bead of sealant
around three sides to provide a water-tight seal between the plate and the wall
material, leaving the bottom edge free to allow for maintenance purposes.

increase the flow of water.
Moving the mixer lever from right to left
will increase the water temperature.
Moving the mixer lever from left to right
