Installation Requirements

Installation must be carried out in accordance with these instructions, and must be conducted by designated, qualified and competent personnel.

1. The soap dish supplied must be used to stop the showerhead from dropping below the spill-over level of the bath or shower tray. Pass the hose through the soap dish and ensure there is a minimum of 25 mm between the showerhead and bath/tray spill-over level. this will prevent water supply contamination due to back-siphonage.
2.  Installations must comply with UK water regulations/ Bye-laws (Scotland), and Building and Plumbing regulations in force at the time of installation
3. Avoid layouts where the shower hose will be sharply kinked. this may reduce the life of the hose.
4. Do not fit any form of flow control in the shower outlet.
5. Do not use excessive force when making connections.
6. Do not install the fittings in a position where it could become frozen.

ACCESSORIES

Flow regulator (12 l/min – red) – 1641.059
If your shower has no flow control, you may find ope ration of the shower on high pressure systems too forceful. Fitting a flow regulator in the showerhead will reduce this.
Checkvalve – 1688.282 To comply with UK water regulations you must make provision to prevent the backflow of waste water through the shower.
A hose retaining ring will allow compliance but may restrict full use of the hose.
However, if your mixer shower is already fitted with single inlet checkvalves then fitting the extra showerhead checkvalve will allow compliance without the need for the hose retaining ring.
