Valve Configuration

1. Remove the inlet elbows and filters. Remove the plastic inserts from the valve inlets and insert the flow regulators. Replace the elbows, ensuring the
   filters are fitted.
   IMPORTANT
   If installed in with a combination boiler flow regulators must be fitted.
   

2. Screw the shrouds  valve.

Installation

1. Install suitable batons (if required) into the cavity. Take the finished wall surface into consideration when fitting the valve into the cavity. Mark the position of the valve; drill and plug holes to suit.

2. Secure the valve using the screws supplied (solid walls only) or a suitable alternative.

3. Connect the inlet pipes ensuring the olives are fitted.
   

4. Plumb your chosen outlets into  the valve. Turn on the water supply and check the valve for any leaks.

5. Draw around the concealing plate as a template, measuring in by 10mm to give clearance. Finish the wall surface. Using a silicon sealant, push on the concealing plate and hold firmly until set.

6. Fit the handles and shrouds.

Temperature Adjustment

1. Turn the handle to the maximum temperature setting, then remove it. Turn the shower on.
   

2. Turn the spindle to increase or decrease the temperature. Check the temperature and adjust until you achieve the desired result

3. Fit the temperature handle back in the maximum hot position.
   

General Cleaning

Heritage products are made from premium materials, with hand polished, PVD, EPD or electroplated finishes.
Your product should be regularly cleaned with warm water, a mild pH-neutral liquid soap, and polished with a soft cloth. Any residues from soap, toiletries etc. should be rinsed off straight after use.
Household bleaches and cleaners contain harsh chemicals and may damage the surface finish. Avoid using abrasive cloths, scouring pads, scrub sponges, steel wool or anything similar.
Some surfaces such as nickel and pewter may be affected by the dye found in some cloths, so it is also important to avoid leaving cloths on surfaces.

Operation

Wall Outlet Installation

Choose the location for the wall outlet and create a 25-30mm hole in the wall. Ensure your shower accessories have enough reach from that position. Finish the wall surface.

Servicing Intervals
To reduce the build up of lime scale and to ensure this shower works to its maximum performance we recommend this shower is serviced every 6-12 months depending on the hardness of your water.

Maintenance – Cartridge Cleaning

1. IMPORTANT Isolate the water supply before starting!

2. Gently remove the concealing plate from the wall.

3. Unscrew shrouds. Remove the cartridges and piston.
   

4. Remove any O-rings and soak all components in de-scaler and wash off in clean water. Examine all seals and replace if needed. Use WRAS approved silicon based grease on all seals.

5. Reverse the installation steps, ensuring the temperature stop is aligned correctly.
   

6. Follow the Temperature Adjustment Steps if required.
