Installation Requirements

• Please refer to your specific shower contents page for specification information.
• These showers are designed to be used in conjunction with the kit supplied, or Bristan shower kits where not supplied. We cannot guarantee compatability or adequate performance when used with other kits. This would also invalidate your guarantee. Please refer to the installation manual supplied with your Bristan shower kits for their specification information.
• This shower valve must be installed in compliance with current water regulations. If you have any doubts about the water regulation requirements contact your local water services provider or use the services of a professional plumber.

This shower valve is suitable for use with the following water supply systems:

• Gravity Fed Hot and Cold
  (pressure imbalance should not exceed a ratio of 5:1 – see Specification section)

• Gravity Fed Hot and Mains Cold
  (pressure imbalance should not exceed a ratio of 5:1 – see Specification section)

• Instantaneous water heater
  (combination boiler)

• Unvented System

• Pumped System

Important: If you install this shower valve with a gravity fed system, there must be a minimum head (vertical distance) from the underside of the cold water storage tank to the outlet of at least 1 metre for every 0.1 bar of minimum pressure required.

Note: Pumped system (with Essex flange) If you install this shower valve to a pumped gravity fed system where the minimum head (vertical distance) from the underside of the cold water storage tank to the top of the hot water cylinder is less than 1 metre we recommend an Essex flange is used as shown.

Flushing Pipe-work
Important: Before connecting the shower valve (see ‘Installation’ on page 7), the supply pipe-work must be flushed to clear debris before connecting the shower. Debris will reduce the performance and life of the bar shower and Wall Mount.

General Cleaning

Bristan products are made from premium materials, with hand polished, PVD, EPD or electroplated finishes.
Your bar shower should be regularly cleaned with warm water, a mild pH-neutral liquid soap, and polished with a soft cloth. Any residues from soap, toothpaste, shampoos and shower gels can cause blemishes if not 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 hanging cloths on fittings/barshowers etc.
